| description | Introduction. Orbital floor blowout fracture is a common traumatic lesion of
the craniofacial complex, but rarely in children population, consequently
representing challenge in surgical treatment. Timely diagnosis and surgical
treatment prevent the probability of the occurrence of the functional
complications. Case report. We presented surgical treatment of on 8-year-old
girl with a blowout orbital floor fracture one month after the injury. The
predominant symptoms were: ocular bulb motility disorder with consecutive
strabismus and double vision. Orbital floor reconstruction was made by an
autogenous mandibular symphyseal graft. A year after the orbital floor
reconstruction additional correction of strabismus was performed due to
functional disorder of the bulbomotor muscles. Conclusion. Delayed surgical
treatment of blowout orbital floor fracture in children leads to
unsatisfactory functional results in the majority of cases. In such a
situation surgical correction of strabismus is necessary in order to obtain
functionally quality vision and satisfactory aesthetic appearance. |
