Summary: Recent considerable increase in numbers of cranial and facial skeleton injures, causes that their initial differential diagnosis and treatment becomes of significant practical importance. Ophthalmic complications can lead to permanent handicap that will exclude patients from professional or even social life.
Most common squeal of orbital trauma is a fracture of inferior and medial wall (blowout fracture) and subsequent extraocular muscles motility disturbances, which can result in secondary strabismus and diplopia. It may occur due to peripheral cranial nerve palsy, incarceration of the extraocular muscle, or other orbital soft tissue within the fracture, edema or hemorrhage, or combination of the above.
Even when orbital floor fractures undergo successful surgical repair, diplopia may fail to resolve, or new diplopia may occur. Subsequently additional surgery on extraocular muscles, in order to restore muscle balance, may be required.
A multiplicity of factors must be taken into consideration when planning strabismus surgery in such patients. Preoperatively all patients should undergo accurate measurements of strabismus angles in nine positions of gaze. Plotting the Hess chart helps determine which muscle or muscles are involved.
The most common muscle injured is the inferior rectus and the medial rectus. Both weakness and/ or restriction of these may occur.
Different surgical procedures for strabismus after orbital fracture are reviewed in this paper. An individually tailored plan of surgical management is helpful to maximize the field of binocular single vision following blow-out fracture.
Key words: trauma, blow-out fracture of the orbit, secondary strabismus, surgical treatment.
Słowa kluczowe: uraz, złamanie rozprężające oczodołu, zez wtórny, leczenie operacyjne.
