This study evaluated the relationship between preoperative IRM status on computed tomography (CT) and ocular symptom recovery time.Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 127 patients with inferior BOF and ocular symptoms (2012\u20132024). Inclusion criteria included age 18\u201380 years and preoperative CT availability. IRM status was assessed for bone interruption, herniation extent, and swelling (short\/ long axis ratio &lt; 0.54 or \u2265 0.54). Recovery times were analyzed using t-tests and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (p&lt; 0.05).Results: Of 127 patients (mean age, 35 years; 67.7% male), 66 (52.0%) recovered from ocular symptoms within 7 days, 53 (41.7%) within 30\u201390 days, and eight (6.3%) had diplopia that remained as a permanent sequela at the last follow-up. Diplopia recovery time was longer in IRM\u2013bone contact (16.9\u00b1 5.5 days, n= 35) and bone-pierced IRM (29.4\u00b1 10.3 days, n= 15) groups versus no-contact (5.1\u00b1 4.2 days, n= 77; p= 0.02, t-test). Herniation and swelling showed no significant correlation (p&gt; 0.05).Conclusion: Preoperative CT-based assessment of the IRM\u2013bone interface predicts diplopia recovery time, with bone-pierced IRM linked to prolonged recovery. Patients with bone-pierced IRM may require closer follow-up and careful consideration of timely surgical management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7181\/acfs.2025.0075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]],"date-time":"2026-02-27T06:24:27Z","timestamp":1772173467000},"page":"28-33","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7181\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Relationship
