Blindness after facial trauma: epidemiology, incidence and risk factors. a 27-year cohort study of 5708 patients.

This is a 27-year study of a cohort of 5708 patients who sustained maxillofacial fractures. Our purpose is to present the aetiology, mechanism of trauma, site and concomitant injuries that led to visual loss. We hypothesize that fractures caused by high energy impact of the midface may be associated with blindness. A discussion of the treatment approaches is also included.
