    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Persistent diplopia after orbital blowout fracture surgery can occur due to entrapped eye muscles. Motility surgery is often needed to correct this vision problem, aiming to eliminate vertical diplopia.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Orbital blowout fractures, often involving the orbital floor, can lead to herniation of orbital contents.
    • Persistent diplopia (double vision) is a common complication following surgical repair of orbital fractures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the causes and surgical management of persistent diplopia after orbital blowout fracture repair.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of motility surgery in resolving persistent vertical diplopia.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of cases with persistent diplopia post-orbital blowout fracture surgery.
    • Assessment of muscle incarceration duration and potential myogenic or neurogenic causes.
    • Surgical correction using motility surgery, often involving multiple muscle combinations.

    Main Results:

    • 18 out of 20 patients with persistent diplopia required motility surgery.
    • Successful outcomes were defined by the elimination of vertical diplopia in primary and reading positions.
    • Prolonged incarceration of inferior rectus or oblique muscles may lead to persistent dysfunction.

    Conclusions:

    • Persistent diplopia after orbital blowout fracture surgery necessitates further evaluation and potential surgical intervention.
    • Motility surgery is an effective treatment for persistent vertical diplopia, frequently requiring complex muscle adjustments.
    • Understanding the causes of persistent muscle dysfunction is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
