[CT imaging analysis in 138 cases with orbital fractures].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate CT findings of orbital fractures in maxillofacial injuries in order to improve clinical diagnostic accuracy.


METHODS
CT findings of 138 cases (145 orbits) with orbital fractures in maxillofacial injuries were analyzed.


RESULTS
In maxillofacial injuries, orbital fractures of medial and posterolateral walls were most common,which often showed multiple walls fractures. In 145 orbital fractures, there were single wall fractures in 51 cases (35.17%), two-wall fractures in 48 cases (33.10%), three-wall fractures in 31 cases (21.38%) and four-wall fractures in 15 cases (10.35%).


CONCLUSIONS
There were complex orbital fracture in maxillofacial injures, CT examination is a very important tool for diagnosis,which should be applied routinely.
