Objective:
To describe the use of autologous-fat grafting in postenucleation-socket
syndrome.
Methods:
This is a case report.
Results:
There was marked improvement in the gross appearance of the treated
orbit of the patient. There was relief in enophthalmos and superior-sulcus
deformity. Bilateral orbital symmetry was achieved. Postoperatively, only
minimal bruising and swelling both in the orbit and source site were observed,
which resolved in 4 weeks.
Conclusion
The use of autologous-fat graft is a novel but highly effective technique and
a good alternative in treating patients with postenucleation-socket syndrome.
