[Post-traumatic enophthalmos. Pathogenic, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches].
Post-traumatic enophthalmos has a complex pathogenesis, resulting from injuries to the bony walls of the orbit or to the intraorbital contents. Computed tomography allows specifying this pathogenesis by locating displaced bone, fat leakage or muscle incarceration, as well as calculating the volumes of the orbit and of the soft tissues. This assessment guides surgery (most often bone grafts), but correction remains limited by scar retraction, especially around the orbit. The prognosis of enophthalmos mainly depends on a general initial treatment after the trauma.
