The patient developed traumatic optic neuropathy with right blindness. b Neural foramina complications: superior orbital syndrome. CT shows left superior orbital fissure narrowing (black arrow) with respect to the normal right side (white arrow) by Le Fort III fracture with external wall displacement that can affect CN III, CN IV, CN V1, and CN VI
