What happens during the disease - fracture of orbital floor
Fracture of the orbital floor is caused by a direct or indirect force to the eye area. this force can be from blunt trauma, such as a punch or fall, or from a sharp object, such as a branch or piece of glass. the force causes the thin bone of the orbital floor to break, allowing the contents of the orbit, including the eye, to herniate into the maxillary sinus. this can cause vision problems, double vision, and facial nerve damage.
