    Midfacial trauma can cause telecanthus, an injury to the medial canthal ligament. Early surgical repair is crucial for restoring function and appearance, as late repairs are more complex.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Telecanthus, an increased distance between the medial canthi, is a common sequela of midfacial trauma.
    • Medial canthal injuries often accompany extensive facial fractures, potentially leading to ocular and central nervous system (CNS) damage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the causes, severity, and surgical treatment outcomes of telecanthus in patients with midfacial trauma.
    • To emphasize the importance of early surgical intervention for optimal functional and aesthetic results.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of nine patients with midfacial trauma and associated medial canthal injuries.
    • Detailed assessment of injury etiology, degree of trauma, and surgical treatment results.

    Main Results:

    • Fractures causing medial canthal injury are extensive and frequently associated with ocular and CNS damage.
    • Late surgical repairs present significant challenges due to difficulties in ligament identification and tissue mobilization.
    • Early surgical exploration, bone fragment reduction, and medial canthal ligament repositioning yield satisfactory outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt surgical intervention is essential for managing telecanthus resulting from midfacial trauma.
    • Early treatment improves functional and aesthetic results, avoiding complications associated with delayed repair.
