Autogenous Dermis-Fat Orbital Impant for Anophthalmic Socket

Journal Title: Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal - Year 2007, Vol 7, Issue 2

Abstract

To our knowledge, there is no report of dermis-fat graft (DFG) implant for orbital reconstruction from Oman. We hereby presented a case report of a 0-year-old boy with a blind and painful left eye secondary to penetrating eye injury presented with implant extrusion following evisceration with a polymethyl methacrylate implant. Te evisceration procedure was converted to enucleation and a DFG orbital implant was then performed. Postoperatively, the graft was observed to be well integrated with the host orbital tissues and had good cosmetic and functional outcomes.
