Abstract: | Standard radiographs of the orbit may not provide conclusive diagnosis of a blow-out fracture. Conventional and computed tomography have been employed effectively to resolve questionable cases. These imaging modalities generally are unavailable after hours and on weekends. The exaggerated Waters views are plain film radiographs easily and routinely obtainable that can demonstrate an occult fracture of the orbital floor. |
