title: [Fractures of the apex of the orbit in injuries of facial bones].
abstract: Thirty patients with fractures of the apex of the orbit were examined by clinical and x-ray methods. The types of fractures of facial skull bones were specified, which were aggravated by the patients state, as was the type of injuries to osseous structures participating in the formation of the orbital apex. A purposeful x-ray examination of the orbital apex in patients with injuries to facial bones helps to rule out undervaluation of the severity of injury which can be assessed only on the basis of clinical signs. Use of a modified panoramic sonography for examination of the apex of the orbit in accordance with the standard program of Sonark device for the examination of orbital nerve canals helps assess the nature of injuries to bone structures in this area.
