A CASE OF CONTRACTED SOCKET RECONSTRUCTION IN RURAL PART INDIA
Keywords:
Anophthalmic socket, contracted socket, orbital prosthesis, orbital reconstruction, dermis fat graftingAbstract
An empty orbit can result in facial disfigurement and thereby have an emotional and psychologic impact on the patient and can lead to an economic setback. Treating the patient with an orbital reconstruction can help the patient to live a normal life and gain acceptance in society. Reconstruction of a severely contracted anophthalmic socket is a challenge for an ophthalmic surgeon as there is shrinkage of orbital tissue with shallow fornices and deep superior sulcus and can give rise to a cosmetic anomaly. In our case we have successfully corrected the cosmetic defect arising due to enucleation following trauma in a 26 years old male by dermis fat grafting which gave the patient cosmetic safaction. Even though the surgery was performed as per the usual recommended technique it was a novel surgery for us as it was performed in a rural setup with limited resources and minimal expertise support.
