A critical appraisal of surgical outcomes following orbital hypertelorism correction: what is the incidence of true bony relapse versus soft tissue telecanthus?

Abstract: Background Orbital hypertelorism (OHT) represents a congenital condition defined by lateralization of the bony orbit, unlike soft tissue telecanthus in which there is an increase in intercanthal distance without true bony lateralization. Existing literature remains very limited in its postoperative assessment of bony versus soft tissue relapse, which may both clinically present as telecanthus. We performed a critical appraisal of the literature to determine the postoperative incidence of bony versus soft tissu… Show more

“…For the complexity of ORH, the surgical treatment usually requires the combination of intracranial and facial approaches, such as box osteotomy, facial bipartition, and the medial orbital composite-unit translocation introduced by Boonvisut et al6–8 in 2001 for those patients with frontonasoethmodial encephaloceles. The transcranial procedure could result in mild, severe, and devastating complications, such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, bleeding, infection, and blindness 9,10. To improve the safety and effect of the surgery, surgeons need to perform finer osteotomy and less harm to soft tissue.…”
