title: [Causes and consequences of orbital injuries].
abstract: For 20 years we have treated 219 patients from orbit trauma. According to the nature of injuries we had 57 cases with orbit fracture, 118 with the injury of intraorbital sof tissues, 37 with strange body in the orbit, and 7 cases in which orbital fistula had developed. Orbital fractures were most frequently caused by traffic accidents, until mutaual scuffles were the most frequent cause of injuries of the soft tissues of the orbit. As far as the localization of fractures is concerned, the worst disorder of sight and deformities in the orbital area were discovered in the lesion of the orbital roof and in multiple fractures of the orbital region.
