What Is an Orbital Blowout Fracture?
An orbital blowout fracture is an eye injury that can occur, after an accident that injures the eye area of the body. Any time that there is blunt force trauma to the eyeball area of the face, there can be the result of an orbital blowout fracture. Other associated injuries to a black eye or orbital blowout fracture can include:
- Hyphema
- Retinal detachment
- Loss of vision
- Blindness
- Serious eye injury
- Double vision
- Numbness on the cheek
- Absent eye movements
- Inferiorly positioned eyeball
- Recessed eyeball
- Severe swelling on the eye
- Limited ocular movements
- Unable to move eyeballs around
- Bleeding in and around the eyes
- Ringing in the ears
- Headaches
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Brain fog
- General malaise
If you have suffered a personal injury that includes retinal detachment, you may be susceptible to issues with your eyes. This can include seeing flashes of lights, flashing lights or reduced areas of vision in your field of vision currently. It may be necessary to have surgical intervention, as a result of having this type of injury to the eye. The surgery will work to try repairing the fracture to the orbital floor of the eye, and try to release the muscles and nerves that are pinched and compressed as a result of the fracture to the eye area.
