A deviated orbital implant after enucleation surgery can occur, even without obvious risk factors. Modifying the implant

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Ophthalmic Surgery

Background:

  • Enucleation involves orbital implant placement.
  • Implant malposition can lead to cosmetic and functional issues.

Observation:

  • A case report details a patient with a medially deviated (esotropic) orbital implant post-enucleation.
  • The deviation occurred after peg drilling and modification of the implant's posterior surface.

Findings:

  • Modification of the implant's posterior surface improved the cosmetic appearance in the primary gaze position.
  • Flattening the implant may create an asymmetric surface, potentially leading to implant deviation.

Implications:

  • Consideration of spherical implants during enucleation for high-risk patients (strabismus, muscle trauma) is advised.

  • Secondary procedures can alter implant position, necessitating careful surgical technique.
  • Even without apparent preoperative risk factors, orbital implant deviation can occur, requiring potential revision surgery.
