Abstract

Orbital blow-in fractures encompass a distinctive clinical entity that is characterized by displacement of fracture fragments into the orbital cavity with a consequent diminution in orbital volume. We report a case of a 30-year-old male who presented with outward protrusion of the left eye ball following trauma by bike handle. While fracture of the orbital roof has been documented as a common cause of blow-in fracture, in our case, a fracture of the lateral wall and floor of the orbit led to blow-in fracture. Repositioning of luxated globe was done even in the absence of visual prognosis in view of psychological benefit and prosthetic rehabilitation.
