%X Orbital fractures refer to all continuity solutions involving the wall of the orbit. They are responsible for serious complications, particularly ophthalmological. <strong>Objective:</strong> To identify the epidemiological, anatomical and clinical aspects as well as the possible ocular complications of orbital fractures in the Gb¨ºk¨º region. <strong>Methods:</strong> Prospective study from July 1, 2020, to October 31, 2020, i.e., a duration of 4 months. It took place in the ophthalmology department of the University Hospital of Bouak¨¦. Patients with orbital fractures with ocular repercussions received during the study period were included. <strong>Results:</strong> Out of 27 cases of orbital floor fracture received, 20 had ocular complications, <em>i.e.</em>, a prevalence of 74.07%. The average age was 32 years with extremes of 18 and 48 years. The male gender predominated with 80%, i.e. a sex ratio of 4. Subconjunctival hemorrhage was the most frequent reason for consultation (70%). The etiology was dominated by road traffic accidents (85%). The average consultation time was 24 hours. 80% of the patients had a distance visual acuity (DVA) between 3/10 and 10/10.) Diplopia was observed in 60% of patients. Blow out fracture (70%) was the most prominent orbital lesion. At the paraclinical level, 80% of the patients had performed a CT scan of the orbit. Evisceration was the predominant ophthalmologic surgical management (4 patients). At the bone level, reconstruction of the orbital floor with a polydioxanone plate (PDS) was performed in 50% of patients. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The risk of ocular injury in orbital fractures is frequent because of the close relationship between the orbit and the eyeball.
