[Blow-out fractures in childhood].
Both of large groups, lateral and central facial skull fractures, are further divided into isolated fractures of particular localisation (zygomatic arc, orbital floor fractures etc.) and compound fractures of varying degrees. 33 patients aged 5 to 14 years with fractures of the orbital floor (blow-out fractures) were followed up for 3 months to 9 years. Advances in the primary surgery have contributed to an improvement in the treatment of defects. The present investigation confirms the view that blow-out fractures with diplopia and prolaps in childhood require early surgical treatment.
