  • Title: Medial orbital wall fracture with rectus entrapment.
    Author: Davidson TM, Olesen RM, Nahum AM.
    Journal: Arch Otolaryngol; 1975 Jan; 101(1):33-5. PubMed ID: 1119986.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of medial orbital fracture with medial rectus muscle entrapment are reported, one a bona fide blowout fracture. Review of the literature reveals six previous cases. Clinically, patients complain of diplopia with lateral gaze and forced duction tests confirm medial rectus entrapment. Radiographic confirmation is best obtained with hypocycloidal tomography. Surgical therapy is indicated for diplopia or enophthalmus.
