Orbital depression can be caused by atrophy of the fatty tissue in the orbit and orbital fracture.
If the patient is malnourished for a long period of time, he/she may be in a thin state, and the fat tissue filling the orbits may shrink, resulting in a reduction in the volume of the orbital content, and the orbital depression may appear.
When the patient’s eyes are traumatized, the external force may act on the orbital wall through the conduction of the soft tissues in the orbit, resulting in the fracture of the orbital wall, and at this time, the soft tissues in the orbit may enter the surrounding sinus cavity through the fracture, and the patient may have the manifestation of orbital sunkenness.
It is recommended that patients with significant orbital depression should seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
