What symptom can orbital fracture have?

summary

Experts pointed out that orbital fractures can occur alone, or at the same time with other maxillofacial fractures. In order to let you have a better understanding of orbital fractures, we will introduce the main manifestations of orbital fractures.

What symptom can orbital fracture have?

The main symptoms of orbital fracture are as follows: blood stasis and swelling around the orbit after injury. These injuries can lead to subcutaneous and subconjunctival hemorrhage around the orbit. Early symptoms are relatively mild, there will be orbital hemorrhage, exophthalmos, there will be pain when pressing with your fingers under the orbit. Later, the eyeball will sag. The volume of orbital cavity will increase after orbital fracture, and the content of orbit will appear abnormal phenomenon. This causes the eyeball to have inward and downward depression symptoms. Glaucoma, cataract and optic nerve atrophy caused by corneal trauma, optic nerve injury or retinopathy after orbital fracture cause great visual impairment.

When the fracture piece of orbital floor fracture often injures or oppresses the infraorbital or supraorbital nerve, the nerve will be injured after a long time. Cause the skin around the nerve to feel numb, a bit more serious, even involving the corresponding parts of the teeth will also feel numb phenomenon. As well as burst fracture, eyeball subsidence, extraocular muscle nerve injury makes extraocular muscle movement limited, which can cause diplopia symptoms. After orbital fracture, the extraocular muscles are displaced, pulled or incarcerated, leading to the symptoms of ocular dyskinesia.

Because the orbit is able to play a protective role on the eyeball, when the orbit or the bone around the orbit is hit by external force, the symptoms of orbital fracture can appear. The main symptoms of orbital fracture are intraorbital hemorrhage, exophthalmos, and pain when pressing under the orbit with fingers. Later, the eyeball will sag. Causes numbness in the skin around the nerve. Retinopathy and other causes glaucoma, cataract and optic atrophy, which cause great obstacles to vision.

matters needing attention

We usually must protect our eyes. After working or reading for a period of time, we can do eye exercises to relieve fatigue. If the orbital fracture is caused by trauma in life, we must see a doctor in time and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Serious patients choose surgical treatment, to maintain a happy mood, not impatient, in the diet to have taboos, do not eat spicy food, so that the disease can recover quickly.
