Resumen
ZAMBRANO, J. C. y LEYVA, J. C.. Ocular and periocular injuries associated to orbital trauma. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2007, vol.33, n.4, pp.233-242. ISSN 1989-2055.
Facial trauma, specially associated to fractures of the orbit, is related to a great extent of damages that can be irreversible to the ocular soft structures. Therefore it is imperative to suspect and to diagnose theese conditions that put in risk the ocular globe and its adjacent structures at an early stage, in order to be able to perform rapid and effective treatment to prevent greater damage. We present a review on the subject and the algorithm of treating used at the Service of Plastic Surgery of the Hospital San Ignacio, Bogotá, Colombia, for early detection and treatment of potentially catastrophic injuries to the eye, associated to the facial trauma.
