Traumatic enophthalmos.
Traumatic enophthalmos, either following orbital floor fracture or enucleation, is caused by decreased orbital volume. Volume replacement, both surgical and/or nonsurgical, provides a direct treatment. Surgical treatment can increase orbital volume by reducing the herniated orbital tissue and/or implanting alloplastic or autogenous material. When a seeing eye is present, implant surgery may compromise vision; volume replacement must be judicious. Alternative surgical management creates the illusion that little or no enophthalmos exists by enlarging the palpebral fissure or changing orbital contour.
