  • Title: [Sphenoid fissure syndrome in orbital fractures. Case presentation and literature review].
    Author: Menard P, Foussadier F, Ricbourg B.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 1991; 92(3):193-8. PubMed ID: 1891695.
    Abstract:
    The superior orbital syndrome has been reported as a very rare complication of orbital fracture. In emergency clinical examination and computed tomography of the cranio-orbital region have provided diagnosis of the compression of the superior orbital fissure content by oedema and/or hematoma. These examinations have determined the type of cranio-orbital fractures and the absence of extra-dural haemorrhage, optical nerve damage or compression, which required emergency treatment. After surgical treatment of the cranio-orbital fracture by temporal and transconjunctival approach, the orbital fissure syndrome has required supervision. The recovery of ophthalmoplegia has taken several months. Minor after effects have been observed for the patient reported.
