==Background==
*Thin inferior wall frequently injured, requires less energy
*Medial wall consists of thin lamina papyracea, requires intermediate energy
*Lateral blow out fractures require higher force
===Types===
*Blow-out Fracture
**Fracture of inferior or medial orbital walls with out fracture of orbital ridge
**Adipose tissue, inferior rectus or inferior oblique can entrap within maxillary or ethmoid sinus
**33% are associated with ocular trauma
*Non Blow-out Fracture
**Lateral, inferior, and superior orbital ridge fracture typically occurs with other facial fractures
*Naso-orbito-ethmoid fracture
**Associated with force applied to nasal bridge
**Often accompanied by injury to lacrimal duct, dural tears, and traumatic brain injury

==Disposition==
===Isolated orbital fracture===
*Discharge with follow up in 3-10d
*Refer to ophtho for outpatient full dilated exam to rule-out unidentified retinal tears


===Naso-orbito-ethmoid fracture===
 
*Admit
* Orbital Hematoma* Proptosis, diffuse pain
 
* Ruptured Globe* Tear-shaped pupil
* Extrusion of intraocular content
 
* Orbital zygomatic fracture* Most common
 
* Nasoethmoid fracture* Inspect for:* Damage to medial canthal ligament
* Damage to lacrimal duct
* Medial rectus entrapment
 
 
* Orbial Floor fracture* Inspect for:* Entrapment of inferior rectus
* Enophthalmos
* Damage to infraorbital nerve
 
 
* Retinal Detachment
* Hyphema
* Optic Nerve Shealth Hematoma
 
Management
 
 
Orbital CT indicated for:
 
* Evidence of fracture on exam
* Decreased extraocular mobility
* Decreased visual acuity
* Severe pain
* Unable to perform adequate exam
 
Globe Injury
 
* Eye covering
* Elevate head of bed
* Prevent nausea/vomiting
 
Orbital Hematoma
 
* Consider lateral canthotomy
 
Orbital fracture into sinus
 
* Azithromycin or augmentin
 
Extraocular muscle entrapment
 
* May result in oculocardiac reflex -> vagal symptoms* Consider release of entrapped muscle
 
 
Decreased extraocular movement not due to entrapment
 
* Consider corticosteroids
 
Orbital blowout fractures-Water's view is 83% sensitive at detecting these. If present needs CT to eval soft tissue structures (retrobulbar hemmorhage). Surgical indications include greater tha 2mm enopthalmos and/or persistent diploplia.
 
10-20% have ocular injury. binocular diploplia from direct muscle injury resolves in 82%, but diploplia from entrapment requires surgical repair.Malignant emphysema and/or retrobulbar hemmorhage are emergencies requiring a lateral canthotomy.
