Retrospective evaluation of ocular injuries in fractures of the zygomaticoorbital complex in a level I trauma center: is primary specialized ophthalmologic examination always necessary?
Within the limitations of the study, patients who experienced blows from blunt objects and those with Le Fort fractures are at a higher risk for severe OPIs. Early specialized ophthalmological consultation is recommended for patients with zygomatic fractures and orbital involvement, especially for those with visual alterations such as motility disorders and diplopia as well as those taking antithrombotic medication.
