title: Orbital trauma.
abstract: This article is a review of recent advances in the evaluation and treatment of orbital and periorbital trauma. We present the pertinent literature from the past year dealing with orbital injuries, orbital imaging, assessment and management of orbital fractures, and traumatic optic neuropathy. Managing orbital trauma can utilize different approaches to achieve the same final goal: the restoration of normal orbital and craniofacial anatomy and the return of function. We provide the perspective of our orbital and ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive practice and relate the recent literature to our current treatment of orbital trauma. We find that often a multidisciplinary effort is advantageous for managing complex orbital and craniofacial injury.
