Purpose This study evaluated outcomes of surgical treatment for enophthalmos after pediatric orbital blowout fracture. Associations fracture type, site, time from injury to treatment, and type procedure with were assessed. Methods The medical records 200 children adolescents (38 girls 162 boys) fractures treated in the authors' department 1975 2015 reviewed retrospectively. main causes accident...

We report two patients presenting with marked clinical unilateral enophthalmos who had positional variability and dynamic proptosis on valsalva. On orbital imaging, enophthalmos was not documented and in fact, globe proptosis of the same side was reported for one of the patients. During CT and MRI scanning patients are often instructed to hold their breath to eliminate motion artefact. This may...

OBJECTIVES To describe the combined transcaruncular and transconjunctival approach in isolated large medial orbital wall fractures and to study the implications of uncorrected posterior orbital volume on postoperative enophthalmos. METHODS A retrospective medical record review was performed of 23 consecutive patients who underwent reduction surgery for isolated large medial orbital wall fract...

the silent sinus syndrome (sss) involves painless facial asymmetry and enophthalmos, which is theresult of chronic maxillary sinus atelectasis. in most cases, it is diagnosed clinically, however, usingthe characteristic imaging features including maxillary sinus outlet obstruction, sinus opacification,and sinus volume loss caused by inward retraction of the sinus walls. obstruction of the maxil...

Isolated enophthalmos is a rarely observed entity in neurofibromatosis (NF). A 12-year-old male presented with right lower eyelid fat prolapse and enophthalmos for the past 7 years. There was no history of antecedent trauma/surgery. Computed tomography of orbit revealed an ill-defined intraconal hyperdense lesion located between lateral and inferior rectus along with an enlarged inferior orbita...

BACKGROUND A blow-out fracture is one of the most common facial injuries in midface trauma. Orbital wall reconstruction is extremely important because it can cause various functional and aesthetic sequelae. Although many materials are available, there are no uniformly accepted guidelines regarding material selection for orbital wall reconstruction. METHODS From January 2007 to August 2012, a ...

Surgical correction of an anophthalmic enophthalmos secondary to inappropriate repair of the eye socket involves several difficult aesthetic issues associated with long-term use of a poorly fitting prosthetic eye. In this paper, we present two cases of anophthalmic enophthalmos. During the treatment of the first patient, unsatisfactory cosmetic problems including lower eyelid retraction, hypogl...
