Sumario: | The orbital floor is a bone structure frequently involved in orbital fractures. Various methods have been documented to approach the orbital floor and infraorbital rim. Traditionally, transcutaneous approaches like infraorbital, subciliary, and subtarsal have been employed to access the orbital floor and infraorbital rim. A significant amount of complications including a visible, prominent scar, eyelid abnormalities like ectropion, lower lid retraction, and increased scleral show result from these transcutaneous approaches. To overcome these complications, the transconjunctival approach has been preferred recently. However, the transconjunctival approach has been associated with rare complications like entropion, synechia, or trichiasis. In the present article, we report a case of orbital floor fracture treated using a retroseptal transconjunctival approach. We intend to evaluate the aesthetic outcome of a case of orbital floor fracture treated using a retroseptal transconjunctival approach. |
