Abstract |
Enophthalmos, the posterior displacement of a normal-size ocular globe relative to the orbital cavity, is usually repaired using autogenous grafts or alloplastic materials. We present the case of a 40-year-old man with bilateral idiopathic enophthalmos whose symptoms recurred 8 years after initial successful surgical repair. We describe the successful and safe use of a bilateral temporoparietal adipofascial flap in the treatment of recurrent idiopathic enophthalmos.
