Endoscopic-assisted elevation of orbital blowout fracture in children: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Orbital fractures in children are uncommon. The existing literature shows a wide range of estimates for incidence, etiology, management protocols, and outcomes. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted that orbital wall fractures with extraocular muscle entrapment is a surgical emergency due to the risk of permanent diplopia caused by ischemia and necrosis of the muscle. Pediatric orbital floor injuries have distinct mechanistic features and fracture patterns when compared to adults. As a result, the prevalence, typical presenting signs and symptoms, and management considerations for pediatric orbital floor fractures differ from those for adults.
