Abstract
When there is disparity between the volume of the bony orbit and its contents, enophthalmos occurs. The frequent cause is traumatic enophthalmos, most commonly blowout fracture. Loss of orbital contents after enucleation or evisceration often results in enophthalmos. Here we reviewed the chart of 10 cases of traumatic enophthalmos and 4 cases of anophthalmic enophthalmos. The surgical procedures were inferior orbital wall reconstruction through subciliary incision, silicone sheet implantation through direct medial canthal approach, silicone beads implantation through lateral approach and secondary silicone beads implantation. Results from these surgical corrections were satisfactory and we propose that enophthalmos can be corrected with appropriate surgical procedure as thir etiology and status of enophthalmos.
