Abstract:
Orbital implant extrusion is a known complication following evisceration and enucleation. In this case report, we present a 45-year-old woman who presented with a left silicone implant exposure and infection 2 years following evisceration with saddle nose on examination. CT of the maxillofacial bones without contrast showed bilateral soft tissue infiltration around the superior recti muscles, as well as a nasal septum perforation from extensive sinus disease. Left orbitotomy revealed a small fibrotic mass near the orbital roof. Biopsy and serology results were consistent with granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
