OBJECTIVE To evaluate a new surgical method, using calvarial bone graft combined with a wedge of irradiated homologous costal cartilage, for the revision repair of posttraumatic enophthalmos. METHODS This retrospective study was performed from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2007. Eight patients were diagnosed as having unilateral posttraumatic enophthalmos.

In this case report we describe a 27-year-old man who presented with progressive enophthalmos for 5 months without any other associated ocular symptoms such as pain, diplopia, or visual disturbance. Computed tomography showed that his progressive enophthalmos originated from a frontoethmoidal mucocele and this caused destruction of the lamina papyracea and shrinkage of the ethmoidal air cell. F...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is a neurocutaneous syndrome with multisystem involvement, especially the central nervous system, eyes, and skin. In this article, we describe a patient with NF-1 with radiologically-imaged sphenoid wing aplasia that led to pulsatile enophthalmos. Although sphenoid wing aplasia in patients with NF-1 frequently occurs as painless pulsatile exophthalmos in clinical...

Abstract Aim Silent sinus syndrome is a rare condition characterised by progressive, painless enophthalmos with subsequent development of hypoglobus due to orbital floor resorption. It caused hypoplasia the ipsilateral maxillary atelectasis. may be associated previous surgery or trauma idiopathic. We describe case 33-year-old female treated customised implant, and review from available literatu...

PURPOSE To report the long-term results of orbital volume augmentation using calcium hydroxyapatite filler injections in patients with anophthalmic sockets. METHODS Twelve eligible patients with post-enucleation socket syndrome (PESS) and small orbital volumes were included in our study. In this investigation, 1.5 mL injectable calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse) was utilized in an off-label ap...

PURPOSE Superior sulcus deformity is the main cosmetic problem in anophthalmic patients. Many methods of correcting enophthalmos have been reported, especially in patients with orbital wall fracture. The purpose of this study is to review the long term results of effectiveness in superior sulcus deformity correction by subperiosteal Medpor sheet implantation in anophthalmic patients. METHODS ...

A young girl with neurofibromatosis demonstrated two rare stigmata of this disease--pulsating enophthalmos and multiple pigmented choroidal hamartomata. Fundus photographs of the latter are believed to be the first of their kind to be published.

PURPOSE To assess the efficacy of bioresorbable mesh in reconstruction of orbitocranial deformities. METHODS A retrospective case series evaluating 6 orbits of 6 patients, ages 12 to 70 years old, with large multicontoured orbitocranial defects that were repaired using bioresorbable macroporous mesh. Both functional (presence of diplopia, ocular motility, exophthalmometry, and vertical globe ...
