Does Preoperative Diplopia Determine the Incidence of Postoperative Diplopia After Repair of Orbital Floor Fracture? An Institutional Review

Diplopia is a common occurrence that results from orbital floor fracture. It can resolve, persist (improve, remain stable, or worsen), or be induced after repair of such an injury. In addition to the known myogenic cause (entrapment) of diplopia, both trauma and surgical manipulation have been shown to have the capacity to compromise ocular motor nerve function and possibly result in the development of neurogenic causes of diplopia. It has also been noted that several intraorbital adherence syndromes can potentially contribute to the development of diplopia. This is an area that requires further research.
