Abstract

Introduction
Orbital floor fractures have been recognised as 
an entity since the first case reported by Lang in 
1989. 1
The term blowout fracture was coined 
in 1957 by Drs. Byron Smith and William 
Regan to describe a hydraulic fracture of the 
orbit resulting from an object slightly larger 
than the circumference of the orbit.2 The 
mechanism involved in these injuries has not 
yet been completely defined. Two theories have 
been described, which seem to be mutually 
exclusive. They are named as the buckling and 
hydraulic theories 3
