title: [Enophthalmos of the enucleated eye].
abstract: Even when it is corrected by an ocular prosthesis, enucleation often causes enophthalmos. After studying the integrality of the walls of the orbits with CT, the presence and position of the intraorbital implant must be controlled and the enophthalmos treated by compensating for the residual volume loss of the orbital content (bone or biomaterials) and, sometimes, filling up the upper palpebral space (dermal graft, galea flaps or biomaterials). The retraction of palpebral scars limits the possibilities of correction.
