Do Not Fall for This; Diagnostic Challenges in Orbital Floor Fractures With Extraocular Muscle Entrapment

Extraocular muscles that are entrapped in orbital fracture sites require emergent surgical treatment. Muscle entrapment can present with subtle findings or mimic other conditions, contributing to delays in diagnosis. Here, we present two cases of extraocular muscle entrapment that were not immediate...

description Extraocular muscles that are entrapped in orbital fracture sites require emergent surgical treatment. Muscle entrapment can present with subtle findings or mimic other conditions, contributing to delays in diagnosis. Here, we present two cases of extraocular muscle entrapment that were not immediately identified. By discussing the diagnostic challenge in these cases, we aim to increase the comfort of all physicians in identifying muscle entrapment in the emergency department.
