  • Title: [Surgical intervention in traumatic orbital syndromes].
    Author: Hardt N, Huber A.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1979 May; 46(1-2):33-7. PubMed ID: 468578.
    Abstract:
    Craniofacial traumata may be accompanied by retroorbital fractures with severe ophthalmologic complications. Each of the clinical syndromes is characterized by a combination of ophthalmoplegia, paralyzed pupillary function and visual disorder. These deficiencies are caused by injury of muscles, nerves and vessels and compressive retroorbital hematoma. In the case of such damage, the poor prognosis can be improved by surgical intervention consisting in the evacuation of the retroorbital hematoma.
