“…Road traffic accidents are the most frequent cause of orbital walls fractures in urban areas, according to Cruz and Eichenberger’s review ( 15 ). The most common cause of all orbital walls fractures in the current study was RTA, followed by violence only in male patients, which is consistent with the study that found the etiology of orbital walls fractures to be RTA, assaults, and falls, in decreasing order of frequency ( 16 ). Contrarily, Shere et al .…”

“…This current study confirmed previous research that the inferior wall is the most affected orbital wall fracture and that the inferior wall is also the most frequently afflicted orbital regions ( 19 ). Contrary to the literature, it was discovered that medial wall fractures were more common ( 16 ). This discrepancy might be caused by the fact that medial wall fractures are underdiagnosed because they do not have any symptoms ( 23 ).…”

Background The aim of this study was to examine the incidence and demographic characteristics of patients with orbital walls fractures who were treated in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery of a tertiary hospital in Jordan. Material and Methods A retrospective cohort study of patients with a diagnosis of with selected orbital walls fracture was designed and implemented, during a two-year period between January 2020 and December 2021. Information on patients treated for orbital walls fractures were retrieved and analyzed regarding age, sex, etiology, anatomical site, and treatment modality. Descriptive data presented as simple frequencies and percentages. Results A total of 76 patients with 100 orbital wall fractures, age range was 4-68 years old with a mean age 28 (SD±12), of whom were 53 (69.7%) were male and 23(30.3%) were female, with male:female ratio was 2:1. The most common etiology of all orbital walls fractures was RTA in 47 patients (61.8%; P ≤0.021), followed by violence in male patients. The most prevalent age-group was 21-30 years old with 16 patients (21.05%; P ≤0.235), and single orbital wall fractures 56 (56%) were more common than combined orbital wall fractures. Conclusions In conclusion, this study will contribute to identifying the best clinical therapy and protective techniques for individuals with orbital fractures. Key words: Orbital fracture, Etiology, Orbital trauma, Road traffic accidents, Trauma.

BACKGROUNDOrbital trauma is significantly disabling and is reported to occur in multiple situations. All traumas to the face require a careful ocular examination including an estimation of the visual acuity of each eye. However, other potentially blinding complications can easily be missed unless they are actively sought.The aim of the study is to study the prevalence and types of ocular involvement in orbital wall fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis study is a prospective, hospital-based study of patients with orbital injuries and other associated facial bone fractures reporting to casualty and Department of Ophthalmology in Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital over a period of two years.The study included 50 consecutive patients of orbital fractures attending our hospital. The statistical significance was analysed using chi-square test. RESULTSOut of the 50 cases, the majority of the participants were males comprising 88% (n-44) and the remaining 12% (n-6) were females. 80% of the males met with road traffic accidents and 68% of them were in the age group of 20 to 40 years. Among the females, 67% met with road traffic accidents and 33% had injury due to slip and fall. The orbital wall fractures were distributed as 52% in the single wall, 28% in two walls and 20% in more than two walls categories. The periocular findings in orbital wall fractures was distributed as 25 with Subconjunctival Haemorrhage (SCH), 16 with periorbital oedema and SCH, 14 with ecchymosis, 14 with pupil abnormality (mydriasis and RAPD), 1 with corneal perforation and 6 with lid laceration. 58% of the participants who had visual acuity between 6/6 to 6/6p had single wall fracture. Those who had visual acuity less than 6/12 had more than two walls fracture. There was extraocular movement restriction in 6 patients, which comprises 12%. CONCLUSION78% of the orbital wall fractures were due to road traffic accidents. 68% of the persons involved were males in the age group of 20 to 40 years. Those who had vision less than 6/12 had more than two wall fractures. 38 out of 50 (76%) patients with orbital wall fractures had injuries to the eye.

“…Our study revealed the most common age group to be affected as 16-35 years old (58.33%) Most authors agree that by far the most commonly affected age group is the 20-40 years. In a retrospective analysis of 132 patients with orbital fracture 19 , the most affected age group was the 31-40-year-old age range (24.2%), followed by the age groups of 21-30 years (22%) and 11-20 years (22%). The age group also is in agreement with the findings of other authors such as Silva et al 20 .…”
