title: Craniofacial surgery for orbital malformations.
abstract: Paediatric craniofacial surgery is a highly specialised field requiring a multidisciplinary team input. Orbital and ocular involvement is relatively common in craniofacial patients. This is more in syndromic patients. In nonsyndromic patients, orbital involvement is common in frontal plagiocephaly and trigonocephaly. The management of these conditions requires close working between the craniofacial surgeon and ophthalmologist. An outline of the management of these deformities is discussed.
