Abstract
The Rationale: “Frozen Eye” is a very uncommon sequel after treatment of orbital blowout fractures requiring implant placement. Patient Concerns: The implant may faultily impinge on the ocular and extra?ocular muscle(s), causing the abnormality in the movement of the eye. Diagnosis: We present a 56?year?old male whose ocular implant impinged on muscle, causing “frozen eye” and had an infected implant. Treatment Outcomes: The same was removed and surgically corrected. The manuscript describes the details and discusses the possible mechanism that led to the “Frozen Eye”
