Abstract

To determine the incidence of complications of primary insertion of porous polyethylene orbital implant in the pediatric population. Interventional case series. Prospective nonrandomized case series of 36 eyes of 36 patients under age 15 years who underwent primary placement of an anteriorly wrapped spherical porous polyethylene orbital implant from March 1998 to August 2002, with at least 17 months of follow-up. The mean age at the time of surgery was 4.6 years. The histopathologic diagnoses after enucleation included intraocular tumor in 22 patients, phthisis bulbi in eight patients, microphthalmos in three patients, Coats disease in two patients, and ruptured traumatic globe in one patient. Twelve patients (33%) had prior ocular surgery. At the time of enucleation, all patients underwent primary placement of spherical porous polyethylene orbital implant anteriorly wrapped with homologous sclera in 30 patients (83%) and autologous sclera in six patients (17%). The spherical implant size was 16 mm in one patient (3%), 18 mm in 10 patients ( 28%), and 20 mm in 25 patients (69%). The prosthesis was fitted after a mean interval of 5 weeks. After a mean follow-up of 44 months (range, 17 to 68 months), there was one case of pyogeni...Continue Reading
