Abstract:
The pediatric population with the orbital and eyeball malformations has been an important part in ophthalmic plastic surgery.The pediatric is with great difference from adult in physiology and anatomy.Besides,visual function,orbit and face during childhood are still under development.The orbital deformityes during the childhood,especially for some congenital abnormalities,are always associated with or a cause of visual disfunction.And the congenital or acquired anophthalmia or microphthalm may lead to the retardation of orbital growth and overall of the face afterwards,so it is not only a simple cosmetic surgery for the oculoplastic surgery in the pediatric population,but also the reconstruction of function.Thus we should pay special attention for the oculoplastic surgery to the effect of development of visual function and orbit in the pediatric.Accordingly,it is crucial to select a proper surgical timing and method for ophthalmic plastic surgery in the pediatric.
