Abstract
MORAIS, Hécio Henrique Araújo de et al. Blow out fracture treated with transconjunctival approach and lateral canthotomy: case report. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.1, pp. 39-42. ISSN 1808-5210.
Transconjunctival approach with lateral canthotomy enables the surgeon adequate exposure of the infraorbital rim, the lateral margin of the orbit and orbital floor, with a low complication rate and excellent cosmetic results. This approach eliminates the need for skin incisions in the lower eyelid, as well as its complications. This work aims to present a case and discuss the technical details, as well as its indications and possible complications.
