Endoscopic intranasal reduction of the orbit in isolated blowout fractures

Abstract: We have experienced 40 cases of endoscopic intranasal reduction of the orbit in blowout fractures. CT scan confirmed isolated orbital floor fracture in 11 patients, isolated medial wall fracture in 17 patients, and combined fractures of the orbital floor and the medial wall in 12 patients. Twenty five patients had diplopia, 20 patients had limitation of eye movement, and 14 patients developed enophthalmos. Thirty three of the 40 patients recovered completely without any residual eye symptoms or complications.

“…A similar procedure using a detachable balloon catheter to support the orbital floor or medial wall after a blow out fracture of the orbit has been reported in people. [15][16][17] Similar to the results in these reports, no adverse effects were observed in our case with leaving these devices in place for 3 weeks. Two devices were used in this case as it allowed for precise placement for fracture support.…”

“…A unique aspect of this case was the use of the breast implant sizer and tissue expander placed in the right conchofrontal sinus to maintain the medial wall and floor, respectively, of the right orbit while they formed a fibrous union with surrounding tissues. A similar procedure using a detachable balloon catheter to support the orbital floor or medial wall after a blow out fracture of the orbit has been reported in people . Similar to the results in these reports, no adverse effects were observed in our case with leaving these devices in place for 3 weeks.…”

“…Nine studies 1,2,5,[8][9][10][11][12][13] met the criterion for inclusion in the systematic review; 2 were comparative studies comparing the endoscopic with the external approach and 7 were case series ( Table 1). All studies were retrospective except for 1 case series.…”

“…However, such early removal can lead to recurrent prolapse of the orbital contents [13]. Jeon et al [20] used their original detachable balloon connected to an infant feeding catheter. The balloon was inserted into the maxillary sinus after endoscopic intranasal reduction, and the connecting tube was placed in the nasal cavity after shortening it.…”
