Abstract
The management of the pediatric anophthalmic socket is distinguished from adult anophthalmia, because normal socket and facial development is dependent on orbital growth. Recent literature on managing anophthalmic sockets is discussed with a focus on the pediatric patient. There are many studies discussing the management of the anophthalmic socket, but few are randomized clinical studies. Although the management of anophthalmia in the child is fraught with challenges and nuances, the principal aim is to encourage socket growth. Both congenital and acquired pediatric anophthalmia are discussed. Surgical decisions, choice of orbital implants, various methods of socket expansion, and socket reconstructions are examined.
