Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of autologus dermis-fixation on the orbital periosteum in patients with superior sulcus deformity. METHODS: From September 2005 to February 2007, an appropriate amount of a rolled autologus dermis was added to the site of superior sulcus deformity by means of fixation to the orbital periosteum via lid crease incision. Four patients had superior sulcus deformity after undergoing evisceration or other ocular surgeries. RESULTS: Superior sulcus deformities in all patients could be corrected satisfactorily with bilateral symmetry. During the follow-up period, no complications such as mechanical ptosis and recurrence of superior sulcus deformity were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The authors believe that autologus dermis-fixation to the orbital periosteum might be a useful method to correct superior sulcus deformity without disturbing movement of the upper eyelid. A study with a larger series of patients and longer follow-up period might be necessary in the future to obtain more information about autologous dermis-fixation to the periosteum in patients with superior sulcus deformity.
