Ocular motility alterations in orbital fractures: pre-post evaluation in maxillofacial surgical treatment
Purpose. The study aims to investigate the ability of maxillofacial surgery to reduce strabismus and improve ocular clinical symptomato- logy in patients with fracture of the medial or lateral floor of the orbit, or both, and to evaluate such abilities relative to the temporal distance between trauma and surgery.
Materials and methods. 25 patients with traumatic diplopia were evaluated by CT, Goldman manual field of view, Hess-Lan- caster test, eye examination and orthoptic examination, before and after surgery.
