title: Late results of hypertelorism correction.
abstract: The late results of patients who were operated on for the correction of hypertelorism were evaluated. Follow-up ranged between 1 and 11 years (mean, 4.3 years). The mean interorbital distance was 32.9 mm preoperatively and 26.7 mm postoperatively. The significant decrease in the interorbital distance and the absence of serious postoperative complications revealed that craniofacial surgery for the correction of hypertelorism was an effective and reliable procedure.
