Abstract
Post-Maxillectomy Orbital Volume Augmentation Using Non- Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) Injection: A Temporary Solution to Complex Reconstruction in Selected Cases
Highlights
Mid-face surgery involving bony orbital structures can result in significant ophthalmic functional and aesthetic abnormalities requiring reconstruction
We describe a case of post-maxillectomy orbital volume augmentation in a sighted eye using injectable fillers
A 65-year-old man was referred to the Orbital clinic from the department of Oral Health, following loss of the orbital floor and significant parts of the medial and lateral walls, as a result of maxillectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the right middle turbinate
Summary
Post-Maxillectomy Orbital Volume Augmentation Using Non- Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) Injection: A Temporary Solution to Complex Reconstruction in Selected Cases. Injectable fillers can provide a temporary solution to volume augmentation of the orbit, for functional restoration and improvement in cosmesis; and may be used in sighted globes with caution. They may be a superior option to traditional surgery in selected cases. In the setting of post-neoplasia reconstruction where the prognosis may be poor, use of minimally invasive, albeit temporary, techniques can help to the improve quality and dignity of life for patients
