Orbital subperiosteal abscess and blindness complicating a minimally displaced zygomatic complex fracture.

M G Gilhooly1, D T Falconer, G A Wood.   

Abstract

A case of orbital subperiosteal abscess (SPA) complicating a minimally displaced zygomatic complex (ZMC) fracture is reported and the aetiology and management of this potentially life-threatening condition is discussed. The value of CT scanning in staging orbital infection and determining the site of the abscess and involved paranasal sinuses is emphasised. The correct interpretation of a lateral skull radiograph with the patient brow up may have lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
