  1. Postoperative Diplopia and Enophthalmos After Orbital Fracture Repair Shivani Kamat MD, Hajirah Saeed MD, Philip Lieu MD, Bruce Gaynes OD, Pharm D, Geeta Been MD Loyola University Medical Center - Department of Ophthalmology - Maywood, Illinois Background Orbital fractures are common sequelae of periorbital blunt trauma that can require surgical repair. The main long-term sequelae of orbital fracture include development of diplopia, which can reduce visual function, and enophthalmos, which has significant effect on facial cosmesis. However, despite the large volume of orbital fracture surgery that is performed each year, the overall incidence of postoperative diplopia and enophthalmos are not clear. By quantifying the incidence of these postoperative findings, patients can be counseled more accurately about these potential sequelae of operative repair and have more realistic preoperative expectations. Discussion • Surgical indications for repair of orbital fractures is fairly common • Case series with reported outcomes in the primary literature are relatively uncommon • The overall incidence of postoperative diplopia was 19% but ranged from 0-35% depending on the study • The overall incidence of postoperative enophthalmos was 16% but ranged from 0-26% • Multiple variances in surgical approach, technique, and clinical presentation likely account for the large range of reported incidence • It is important to counsel patients about the risk of diplopia or enophthalmos when discussed surgical repair of orbital fractures for realistic patient expectations Table 1 – Incidence of Diplopia on Meta-Analysis Methods We performed a literature search on MEDLINE for studies published between 1998 and 2012 reporting the incidence of diplopia and/or enophthalmos after surgical orbital fracture repair. There was no restriction on surgical technique. Search terms included ‘orbital fracture repair,’ ‘diplopia,’ and ‘enophthalmos.’ Therefore, 10 studies were selected using these criteria, on which a meta-analysis was then performed.

Table 2 – Incidence of Enophthalmos on Meta-Analysis Results The meta-analysis included a total of 516 eyes undergoing orbital fracture repair, with a mean of 46.9 patients per study. The overall incidence of postoperative diplopia was 19%, (range 0-35%). The overall incidence of postoperative enophthalmos was 16%, (range 0-26%).
