Orbital Fractures Flashcards
What are the 5 Orbital Fractures
(ZOOMO)
- Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures
- Orbital Apex Fractures
- Orbital Roof Fractures
- Medial Orbital Fractures
- Orbital Floor Fracture
Fractures may be associated with
(IIP)
- Injuries to orbital contents
- Intracranial structures
- Paranasal sinuses
________ can damage the facial bones & adjacent soft tissues
Orbital trauma
_______ & ________ may also result damage to the orbit
Orbital hemorrhage & foreign bodies
Ophthalmic manifestations of Orbital Fractures
(DISE)
- Decreased vision
- Intraocular injury
- Strabismus
- Eyelid or globe malposition
occur in association with other fractures of the face, orbit, or skull
Orbital Apex Fractures
Zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures is also known as
Tripod fractures
Ocular damage accompanying orbital trauma
(HACRRV)
Hyphema
Angle recession
Corneoscleral laceration
Retinal tear
Retinal edema
Vitreous hemorrhage
ZMC fractures can cause
(GCDT)
- Glove displacement
- Cosmetic deformity
- Diplopia
- Trismus (limitation of mandibular opening)
involve orbital floor to varying degrees
Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures
Orbital apex syndrome associated complications
(DDCCI)
- Damage to optic nerve
- Decreased vision
- Cerebrospinal fluid
- Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula
- INDIRECT TRAUMATIC OPTIC NEUROPATHY
may involve the optic canal, superior orbital fissure, & structures that pass through them
Orbital Apex Fractures
usually caused by blunt trauma or projectile injuries
Orbital Roof Fractures
______: frontal trauma is partially absorbed by the FRONTAL SINUS, which diffuses force & prevents extension of the fracture along the orbital roof
Adult patients
(Orbital Apex Fractures) “Indirect traumatic optic neuropathy” usually results from
(STTB)
- Stretching
- Tearing
- Twisting
- Bruising of fixed canalicular portion of nerve as the cranial skeleton suffers sudden deceleration.
