ABSTRACT
Fracture of the floor or medial wall of the orbit occurs as a result of blunt trauma to the globe or orbital rim.
Pathophysiology
Pressure on the globe and orbital contents as a result of a blow to the eye and orbital rim can result in permanent depression of the eye backwards into the socket (enophthalmos), prominence of the eye (proptosis) and restriction of extra-ocular muscle movement (consequential diplopia).
