Anomaly of the Deep Lateral Orbital Wall in Two Cases

Abstract

Deep lateral orbital wall decompression is considered the first choice procedure [1] in treating disfiguring proptosis, as well as, compressive optic neuropathy and congestive orbitopathy [2,3]. Although detailed normal anatomy of the deep lateral orbital wall has already been reported [1,4,5], there are no reports of anomalies of the wall. We experienced two types of anomalies of the deep lateral orbital wall in patients who underwent deep lateral orbital wall decompression.
