|
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical aspects associated with the preoperative and postoperative state of blow-out fractures in preschool children.
Methods: The authors of the present study retrospectively reviewed 11 cases of blow-out fracture repaired by orbital reconstruction.
Results: The most common cause of fracture was a traffic accident (45%); there were 7 cases (63%) of inferior wall fracture and 7 cases (63%) of trapdoor-type fracture. All patients with trapdoor-type fractures had nausea and vomiting. After the operation, the majority of patients (88%) had mild ocular motility restriction and diplopia.
Conclusions: In preschool children, systemic symptoms such as nausea and vomiting presented frequently. In addition, complications such as restriction in ocular movement and diplopia often developed postoperatively.
