Abstract:
A 2-year-old girl had undergone preoperative radiotherapy and enucleation without implantation for retinoblastoma in her right eye. She presented with supratarsal depression after secondary hydroxyapatite implantation. Computed tomography revealed insufficient right orbital volume, relative to left orbital volume. Injections of Bioplant hard tissue replacement synthetic bone filled the subperiosteal space of the orbital floor and lateral and medial wall for supratarsal augmentation. This had the desired effect: The filler lasted without sequela at least through 1.5 years of follow-up. Hard tissue replacement was also used to fill the remaining socket void and enhance the facial ridge width.
