Summary
Eye is a vital organ for vision and being a momentous component of the facial expression. Most tumor that affect the eye, ocular cavity, or the orbit are Basal Cell Carcinoma, squamous cell Carcinoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Retinoblastoma and malignant melanoma that requires orbital exenteration, which involves removal of the contents of the orbit. 4,5 The French surgeon Ambroise Pare was apparently the first to report on orbital and ocular prostheses used as cosmetic replacements for the missing organ. This case report presents a method of fabricating the silicone orbital prosthesis in a patient with a history of orbital exenteration due to squamous cell carcinoma of maxilla with involvement of maxillary sinus and orbit left side. A silicone orbital prosthesis presents a feasible, economical and practical alternative when esthetic and functional demands are beyond the capacity of local reconstructive efforts, and resulted in the restoration of facial esthetics and overall well-being of the patient
