An orbital roof and anterior skull base fracture: case report

Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci. 2012 Oct:16 Suppl 4:117-20.

Abstract

Blow-out fractures usually involve the orbit in the floor or in the medial wall. Anyway, if the roof of the orbit is thin and direct compressive or buckling forces impact the orbit the fracture can involve the upper roof. We describe the case of a blow-out fracture of the orbital roof with enophtalmus and cerebrospinal fluid leak from lacero-contusive subciliar wound
