Surgical correction of superior sulcus deformity occurring after enucleation.
A prefabricated, sculptured, subperiosteal orbital floor implant was used in six cases of cosmetically unacceptable deep superior eyelid sulcus that occurred after enucleation. The implant provided anterior and superior displacement of orbital contents. Surgical placement was similar to the approach for implant placement in orbital floor fracture and provided satisfactory cosmetic and functional results.
