Abstract
Positive contrast orbitography was found to be a safe, simple, and highly accurate method of demonstrating blow-out fractures of the orbit. Two new views were devised, one for a profile of the orbital floor and the other for the anterolateral segment of the orbital floor. These new views, without contrast material injection, allowed recognition of orbital blow-out fractures in 80 per cent of the cases in a surgically proven series. Tomography, and conventional Caldwell's and Waters' views, provided less findings for evaluating the integrity of the medial wall and floor of the orbit.
