  • Title: Superior blowout fracture of the orbit: the blowup fracture.
    Author: Rothman MI, Simon EM, Zoarski GH, Zagardo MT.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1998 Sep; 19(8):1448-9. PubMed ID: 9763375.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient who sustained a blowout fracture of the superior orbital roof without an orbital rim fracture. The initial CT study (obtained with 10-mm-thick sections) did not show herniation of the intraorbital fat into the anterior cranial fossa; however, thin (3-mm-thick) direct orbital sections showed a fracture of the midportion of the superomedial orbital roof with displacement of the fracture fragment into the anterior cranial fossa.
