Penetrating trauma-induced orbital floor fracture. Case report

Abstract
Orbital floor fractures are common in midface trauma. While the mechanism which produces them is subject to debate, they are acknowledged to be difficult to diagnose solely through clinical means. In presenting the case of an orbital blow-out fracture caused by penetrating trauma, the author describes the successful diagnosis and surgical treatment of a "pure" fracture in which no globe trauma occurred.
