ABSTRACT
Background:
Orbital wall fractures are often associated with concomitant ocular injury. In some cases, detection and treatment of such injuries requires ophthalmology evaluation. StudyObjective:
To identify a change in ocular management as a result of ophthalmology evaluation in patients with orbital wall fractures. Materials andMethods:
Retrospective cohort, patients >18 years of age with orbital wall fracture, and prompt evaluation by an ophthalmologist from 2012 to 2020 in a tertiary Level 1 trauma center.Results:
Fifty percent of patients had a moderate and/or severe ocular injury. Ophthalmology evaluation led to an ocular management change in 27% of patients. Patients with eyelid laceration, extra-ocular motion (EOM) abnormality, and pupillary defect were more likely to have a change in management. There was no delay of surgical bony fracture management.Conclusion:
In patients with midface trauma including orbital wall fractures those with eyelid laceration, EOM abnormality, and pupillary defect were likely to undergo ocular management change as a result of ophthalmology consultation.
