TO THE QUESTION OF CLASSIFICATION OF CRANIOORBITAL INJURIES

Abstract

Cranioorbital injury is a combined damage to the bones of the vault and base of the skull, brain structures, bone structures and the contents of the orbit. The frequency of orbital fractures in craniofacial injuries is extremely high - up to 98%, in 66% of cases, orbital injuries are accompanied by damage to the eyeball (wounds, contusions) and its accessory organs [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7] . To date, in the literature, the classification of B.L. is often used to describe injuries to the organ of vision. Polyak , but the classification of cranioorbital injuries that would fully reflect the combined damage to the bones of the skull, orbit, eyeball and adnexa, we have not found in the literature [4] . This circumstance is an urgent problem of ophthalmotraumatology , since the existing classifications do not fully reflect the damage to the organ of vision (orbit, eyeball and adnexal apparatus) in cranio-orbital injuries, which leads to late diagnosis of lesions and thus, irreversible loss of vision in patients.
