Abstract

In the years 1964 to 1974 138 patients with malar fractures were treated by operation. After follow-up examination on an average of 3 years and 10 months after the operations the occuring complications in 61 patients were revealed. On the first stationary admission to hospital 14 patients complained of diplopia; on the follow-up examination only 5 paresiae were found. On the first examination after the accident 35 patients had hypoaesthesiae, anaesthesiae or paraesthesiae in the area of supply of the ophthalmic and maxillary nerves. It is remarkable that in the follow-up examination 29 patients complained still of these disturbances. Perforating injuries were not found in these patients. 2 patients had however traumatic macular foramina. 2 further patients had partial optic atrophy, a result of fracture in the region of the optic canal.
