Abstract

A patient with a broad medial orbital blowout fracture was treated surgically by the balloon catheter technique.<br>After repair of the medial orbital wall through a transorbital approach with an external incision, a balloon catheter was inserted into the anterior and posterior ethmoid sinus by the endonasal approach to repair the medial orbital wall of the blowout fracture. The catheter was left in for nineteen days. Satisfactory results were obtained.<br>The balloon catheter technique is quite simple and useful in the repair of fractures of the medial orbital wall.
