title: [Orbital blow-out fractures].
abstract: Blow-out fractures, lateral fractures of the face, involve only the inferior and sometimes the medial wall of the orbit. Clinical diagnosis is not always obvious, and CT is helpful to confirm diagnosis and also detect some failures of surgical treatment: improper position or size of the graft. MRI is valuable to evaluate post-surgical infections.
