    Author: Taher AA.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1993 Apr; 75(4):433-5. PubMed ID: 8464605.
    Abstract:
    Diplopia caused by orbital floor blowout fractures is one of the major complications of orbital injuries. The records of 48 patients who had incurred orbital injuries were reviewed; 23 had a history of a pure orbital blowout fracture. Surgery was indicated when the vertical movement of the eye was impaired, and it was performed after complete resolution of orbital hemorrhage and edema. The maximal time before the first surgical procedure was 14 days. Two patients required a second procedure because of persistent diplopia and enophthalmos.
