Suggest Treatment For Orbital Floor Fracture

Hi Doctor, I am a 40 year old male. I got hit by a cricket ball 3 weeks back, close to left eye and am diagonised with Orbital Floor Fracture (had CT scan taken). I have numbness on my head which comes on and off. When this numbness comes, I become very tired and am very weak. I do not know what is causing this debilitating numbness, what should I do?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you might be having nerve compression in the fracture or it can be due to concussion to brain. I would recommend you to visit a neurosurgeon and get your complete evaluation as it can not be taken lightly.
If there is any nerve pressure then it will improve once swelling and edema will settle.Your doctor may advised you to get a MRI scan of the brain and face to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
