Sequelae of orbital fractures.

Many injuries and complications of orbital fractures are instantaneous and unpreventable, some develop over time, and some are a result of surgery. Most complications can either be managed or prevented and are anticipated based on the fracture location and size. A thorough search for probable complications is mandatory, especially ocular injuries and intracranial complications. Most patients are carefully followed for 7-14 days, and the significant residual sequelae are managed. Some complications, however, require urgent care.
