Recognition of periorbital facial fractures with appropriate clinical and diagnostic evaluation is essential for surgical decision making. Treatment planning should be directed at correcting any demonstrable functional problem or cosmetic deformity. The radiographic presence of a fracture line should not be the sole criterion for surgery. When surgical intervention is indicated, early repair will usually provide a more favorable result.
