| Abstract |
|
Surgical method for blow out fracture of medial orbital wall is performed by medial canthotomy and subciliary incision or transconjunctival incision. However, these approaches can leave cosmetic problem due to skin incision and have a risk of infection and absorption of prosthetic implant for a large medial wall fracture. The authors performed endoscopic intranasal reconstruction of the isolated medial wall fracture in a case with significant functional impairment of extraocular muscle. After the incision of the middle turbinate, medial wall fracture was reconstructed with muco-periosteal flap under endoscopic control. We had a good result without intraoperative or postoperative complications caused by prosthetic implant. There was no disadvantage seen with the traditional approaches by medial canthotomy. Endoscopic intranasal reconstruction with muco-periosteal flap appears to be a new safe method for especially large defect. |
