Orbital roof fracture

Findings:
A non-displaced isolated superior orbital roof fracture is seen on the left side. Minimal extraocular fat is seen within the fracture defect. No evidence of any entrapment of the extraocular muscles. No intraorbital haematoma.

The facial bones are otherwise intact without evidence of any further fracture.
Subtotal opacification of the frontal, ethmoid and maxillary sinuses is seen bilaterally with obliteration of the osteomeatal complexes bilaterally. Bilateral Haller cells are noted.
Minimal mucosal thickening is also seen in the left sphenoid sinuses.
Mild nasal septal deviation to the right with right-sided bony spur is seen.
The imaged maxilla and temporomandibular joints are unremarkable.
The mastoid air cells and the middle ear cavities are clear.

Conclusion:
Non-displaced, isolated superior orbital roof fracture on the left with minimal extraconal fat within the fractured defect. No impingement of the extraocular muscles. No further fractures.
Chronic pansinusitis.
