They are responsible for serious complications, particularly ophthalmological. Objective: To identify the epidemiological, anatomical and clinical aspects as well as the possible ocular complications of orbital fractures in the Gbêkê region. Methods: Prospective study from July 1, 2020, to October 31, 2020, i.e., a duration of 4 months. It took place in the ophthalmology department of the University Hospital of Bouaké. Patients with orbital fractures with ocular repercussions received during the study period were included. Results: Out of 27 cases of orbital floor fracture received, 20 had ocular complications, i.e., a prevalence of 74.07%. The average age was 32 years with extremes of 18 and 48 years. The male gender predominated with 80%, i.e. a sex ratio of 4. Subconjunctival hemorrhage was the most frequent reason for consultation (70%). The etiology was dominated by road traffic accidents (85%). The average consultation time was 24 hours. 80% of the patients had a distance visual acuity (DVA) between 3/10 and 10/10.) Diplopia was observed in 60% of patients. Blow out fracture (70%) was the most prominent orbital lesion. At the paraclinical level, 80% of the patients had performed a CT scan of the orbit. Evisceration was the predominant ophthalmologic surgical management (4 patients). At the bone level, reconstruction of the orbital floor with a polydioxanone plate (PDS) was performed in 50% of patients. Conclusion: The risk of ocular injury in orbital fractures is frequent because of the close relationship between the orbit and the eyeball.展开更多

Objectives: Identify the epidemiological aspects, describe the management method, distinguish the anatomical-clinical aspects and identify the therapeutic methods and their results. Material and methods: A retrospective and descriptive study was carried out over a period of 8 years (2012-2019) in the Odontostomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the University Hospital Centre (Bouaké) and in the “Jean Baptiste Vatelot” religious hospital of Bouaké. The study concerned patients whose congenital malformations of the face had undergone primary surgery. Results: 439 patients were collected, i.e. an annual frequency of 54.88 cases per year. The sex ratio was 1.07 and the mean age was 6.82 years (range 5 months to 48 years). There were 434 (98.86%) cleft lips and palates and 5 (1.14%) Tessier’s clefts. Among the cleft lip and palate, there were 214 (49.31%) cleft lip, 127 (29.26%) cleft palate and 93 (21.43%) combined cleft lip and cleft palate. Surgical treatments numbered 532 and included 293 (55.08%) cheiloplasties, 113 (21.24%) pushback uranostaphyloraphies and 90 (16.92%) double flap palatoplasties. Complications were noted in 43 cases. Conclusion: Congenital malformations of the face were managed relatively late in the Gbèkè region with satisfactory results. Ante-natal diagnosis, early psychotherapy and a better screening system should allow an improvement of the management.展开更多
