Abstract
According to Converse & Smith (1957), the orbital blow-out fracture is caused by a sudden increase of intraorbital pressure resulting from the application of a traumatic force to the soft tissue of the orbital area. This concept is supported by a classical experimental study by Smith (1957). His original description is as follows.
This study was supported by grants of the Yukichi Fukuzawa Memorial Fund (1975), the Takahashi Research Foundation for Industry and Economics (1975–76) and the Keio University Education and Research Development Fund (1976).
