'Frozen eye' - Post blowout fracture surgical correction - A case report
1Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
The Rationale:
"Frozen Eye" is a very uncommon sequel after treatment of orbital blowout fractures requiring implant placement.
Patient Concerns:
The implant may faultily impinge on the ocular and extra-ocular muscle(s), causing the abnormality in the movement of the eye.
Diagnosis:
We present a 56-year-old male whose ocular implant impinged on muscle, causing "frozen eye" and had an infected implant.
Treatment Outcomes:
The same was removed and surgically corrected. The manuscript describes the details and discusses the possible mechanism that led to the "Frozen Eye".

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
