title: [Computed tomography in the evaluation of orbital fractures].
abstract: Orbital fractures should be evaluated by CT in frontal and transverse planes. The significance of blow-out floor and medial wall fractures is discussed. Limitation of inferior rectus muscle mobility is thought to be a result of edema, enophthalmos, fat prolapse or scar tissue formation, rather than muscle incarceration. The consequent therapeutic attitude implies a rigorous preoperative exploration by CT or for some orbital floor fractures by MR.
