ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To examine the anatomy of the inferior oblique (IO) muscle and its surrounding structures to clarify why IO muscle entrapment develops less in orbital floor trapdoor fractures.

METHODS: Computed tomographic (CT) images on the unaffected sides were obtained from 64 patients with unilateral orbital fractures. On coronal planes, presence or absence of an infraorbital g roove below the IO muscle was confirmed. At the level of the medial margin of the infraorbital groove/canal, the distance from the orbital floor to the IO muscle (IO-floor distance), the thickness of the orbital floor, and the shortest distance from the inferior rectus (IR) muscle to the orbital floor (shortest IR-floor distance) were measured. On quasi-sagittal planes, the distances from the inferior orbital rim to the inferior margin of the IO muscle (IO-rim distance) and the most anterior point of the infraorbital groove (groove-rim distance) were measured.

RESULTS: The infraorbital groove was found below the IO muscle in eight patients (12.5%), and the IO-rim and IO-floor distances were significantly longer than the groove-rim and shortest IR-floor distances, respectively (p < 0.001). The orbital floor below the IO muscle was significantly thicker than that below the IR muscle (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSION: Although the medial margin of the infraorbital groove is the most common fracture site, the IO muscle was not located above the groove in most cases. A longer IO-floor distance and thicker orbital floor below the IO muscle may also contribute to less occurrence of IO muscle entrapment in orbital floor trapdoor fractures.
