Diplopia caused by orbital floor blowout fracture
1Baqiet Ulla University Hospital, Tehran, Iran.
Abstract:
Diplopia caused by orbital floor blowout fractures is one of the major complications of orbital injuries. The records of 48 patients who had incurred orbital injuries were reviewed; 23 had a history of a pure orbital blowout fracture. Surgery was indicated when the vertical movement of the eye was impaired, and it was performed after complete resolution of orbital hemorrhage and edema. The maximal time before the first surgical procedure was 14 days. Two patients required a second procedure because of persistent diplopia and enophthalmos.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
