Isolated fractures of the orbital floor: risk of infection and the role of antibiotic prophylaxis.

C T Westfall1, J W Shore.   

Abstract

The application of antibiotic prophylaxis to fractures of the orbital floor is controversial. The incidence of infection following this injury remains undefined. We report a case of orbital cellulitis following orbital floor fracture, and attempt to define guidelines for the appropriate use of antibiotics in the setting of an isolated blowout fracture.
