AB Orbital  fractures  are  injuries  frequently  encountered  both  acutely  in  the  Emergency  Room  as  well  as  in  the  office  as  chronic  conditions.  They  are  seen  in  isolation  or  in  association  with  other  head  and  neck  injuries.  This  chapter  will  cover  the  clinical  presentation,  evaluation,  examination  findings,  and  management  of  orbital  fractures  organized  from  an  anatomical  perspective.  The  bulk  of  the  discussion  will  focus  on  floor  fractures,  as  these  are  the  most  frequent  orbital  fractures  encountered.  Other  orbital  fractures  will  then  be  discussed  in  a  more  succinct  fashion  to  highlight  the  unique  features  based  on  their  anatomic  location.  Basic  orbital  anatomy  will  not  be  discussed;  for  a  review  of  orbital  anatomy  please  refer  to  Chapter  58.
