Participants Patients with eyelid, orbital, eye muscle, and scalp contour abnormalities as a result of medical and surgical interventions for brain and/or orbital tumors.

Main Outcome Measures Descriptive outcomes.

Results A variety of medical and surgical options are available to optimize eyelid, orbit, extraocular muscle, and scalp structure and function.
