Abstrakt: Purpose: Trauma to the pupillary fibers can occur during repair of orbital floor fracture resulting in a fixed and dilated pupil. The authors report, discuss, and propose an etiology of an abnormal pupil in a child with an orbital floor fracture before surgical repair.
Methods: A case report is described.
Results: Although the orbital fracture was repaired, anisocoria persisted 18 months after the initial trauma.
Conclusions: Pupillary function must be assessed before surgical repair of an orbital floor fracture as damage of the pupillary fibers can occur secondary to the orbital floor fracture.
