Does Early Treatment of Paediatric Orbital Fracture Offer Any Advantage in Terms of Post-Operative Clinical Outcomes.

Children presenting with facial injuries should be thoroughly examined for signs of muscle entrapment, diplopia, nausea, vomiting and bradycardia. If present these should receive early intervention. In cases with no signs of oculocardiac reflex and muscle entrapment a treatment within 2 weeks is recommended. If diplopia is mild or resolving with minimal hypoglobus and enophthalmos a wait and watch policy should be carried out.
