Abstract

Secondary enophthalmos caused by an untreated orbital blowout fracture can cause esthetic and functional disturbances. The esthetic defect is manifested by sinking of the superior sulcus and the hypophthalmic globe. Functional impairment of the eye can usually be a common complaint with restriction of eye motion and diplopia. Early diagnosis followed by repair of surgically correctable fractures is the most acceptable procedure. Failure in the primary treatment may cause scar contraction and fat atrophy. The aim of this paper is to report a case of a late treatment of blowout orbital floor fracture with secondary enophthalmos using titanium mesh and buccal fat pad graft.
