Coronal CT reconstructions. a Blow-out fracture of the left orbital floor (arrow) with herniation of the intraorbital fat into the maxillary sinus. Presence of intraorbital emphysema, an indirect sign of fracture (empty arrows). b Coronal reconstruction of the follow-up CT 2 months after the orbital wall reconstruction through the position of an absorbable mesh. The integrity of the orbital floor is restored (white arrow); the soft tissue herniation is no longer present
