[An unusual fracture of the orbital floor].
The various anatomopathologic forms of orbital fractures correspond to precise pathophysiologic mechanisms. We would like to detail an exceptional case of an orbital fracture in professional a diver. This case can be associated to barotraumatic accidents categories. After a brief review of the anatomy and the pathophysiological fractures of the orbit, we examine the different mechanisms which can be linked to this particular and unexpected pathology.
