7 Interesting Facts of Extraocular muscle damage
- Damage to muscles (eg, laceration, contusion, disinsertion) can cause ocular motility dysfunction, similar to that seen with muscle entrapment accompanying an orbital fracture
- Extraocular muscle damage will not be accompanied by more overt symptoms associated with fractures, such as enophthalmos and globe displacement
- Diagnose using MRI to evaluate muscle injury; in most cases, exclusion of orbital fracture using CT scan is indicated
