Popis: This retrospective study aimed to analyze the relationship between the volume of the fractured and the normal orbit in patients with unilateral orbital fractures with and without indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (TON).Data of 25 patients with unilateral orbital fractures who underwent computer tomography between January 2016 and December 2020 were investigated. Emergency imaging was performed within 2 hours of arrival at the emergency room. The subjects were categorized into two groups: unilateral orbital fractures with and without TON.The assessment of TON was performed during a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination by an ophthalmologist. The stereographic orbit was reconstructed, and the volume was calculated. Other variables examined included age, sex, and cause of orbital trauma. The variables were compared using paired t-tests. Statistical significance was set at p 0.05.The orbital volume of the non-fractured orbit was 27.50 ± 2.26 and 27.48 ± 2.64 cmNon-expansion of the fractured orbit was a risk factor for indirect TON in patients with unilateral orbital fractures. Volumetric analysis from primary imaging would expedite the diagnosis and treatment of TON, resulting in optimal outcomes.
