Blowout fracture of the medial orbital wall, with entrapment of the medial rectus muscle. 1979

H R Thering, and J N Bogart

A case of fracture of the orbital wall, with entrapment of the medial rectus muscle and paresis of the 6th nerve in association with a large fracture of the orbital floor, is presented. The diagnosis was made primarily by the forced duction test.
