Abstract
- A 51-year-old woman underwent endoscopic nasal polypectomy and ethmoidectomy with accidental entry into the right orbit causing enophthalmos and transection of the medial rectus muscle (MR). The repair of a fracture and of a damaged MR is technically challenging, particularly when large portions of bone and muscle are missing. We report a rare case of repair of the bony defect with an implant and reattachment of the MR with a silicone retina band, through a combined transcaruncular and transconjunctival approach. Postoperatively, the patient had residual enophthalmos and strabismus; further surgical options are discussed.
