Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the reconstruction of acquired orbital deformities.
METHODSThrough coronal incisions, subciliary incisions and buccal sulcus incisions, or periorbital wound, the displaced orbital walls were repositioned after osteotomy. And the mandibular outer cortex was used to repair the bone defect, so as to restore the orital integrity.
RESULTSFrom Sept. 2002 to Jun. 2006, 64 patients with acquired orbital deformities were treated. The integrity of orbit and eyeball location recovered very well.
CONCLUSIONSRestoration of the orbital integrity is the key to the treatment of acquired orbital deformities. The periorbital deformities should be corrected after osteotomy with mandibular outer cortex for bone defect.
