[Diagnosis and treatment of blowout fracture of the orbit].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the diagnosis and treatment of blowout fracture of the orbit.


METHODS
78 cases with blowout fracture of the orbit seen in 20 years were retrospectively analyzed. In different years, different methods of examinations were used. There were 16 cases who had undertaken X-ray examinations, 31 cases, ultrasonographic examinations and 72 cases, CT.


RESULTS
The positive rate of the CT examinations with blowout fracture of the orbit was 100%, CT having the tendency to eventually replace the X-ray. Ultrasonography shows only changes of intraorbital tissue, providing an auxiliary method for diagnosis.


CONCLUSIONS
With the progress of modern photographic methods, blowout fracture of the orbit is known more deeply and the advance helps in the improvement of the treatment of the disease.
