The orbital margins should becarefully examined to detect slight departures from the normal, whichmay be the only evidence of fracture. The ZygOmatic Arch is occasionally broken. There may be a depression of the bone,this beuig readily de-tected when an antero-posterior radiograph isobtained. Fractur
