Background
•Knowledge of the potential injuries to the eye and their imaging correlates is essential to making an accurate and rapid radiologic diagnosis of posttraumatic orbital injury.
•Computed tomography (CT) is considered to be the top choice for evaluating orbital trauma:
⇒It provides a rapid and detailed evaluation of bony structures and soft tissues of the orbit.
⇒ It is also sensitive in the detection of retained metallic foreign bodies.
•In this presentation, We make a systematic approach to assist rapid evaluation of the orbit.
•we will review the common patterns of orbital fractures including fractures of the orbital floor, medial wall, and orbital roof.
•We will also review complex facial fracture patterns that involve the orbit,
to include zygomatico-maxillary complex, nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE), and Le Fort fracture patterns.
