title: Traumatic superior orbital fissure syndrome: Review of literature and report of three cases.
abstract: The classical features of superior orbital fissure syndrome arise due to compression of all or some anatomical structures passing through the fissure. A conservative approach is advocated in this condition unless there is a bony impingement of the neuronal structure and/or simultaneous compression of optic nerve leading to blindness or diminished vision. This paper reports three cases of this rare complex and also presents a review of literature.
