  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 20-year-old female was involved in traffic accident and suffered from blunt injury to her left eye resulting in blowout fracture of the orbital floor. She underwent surgery with implantation of titanium mesh to reconstruct the orbital floor 1 week after the injury. Because of persistent severe diplopia uppon upper gaze, she was referred to us 18 months later.

Computed tomography showed adhesion of the inferior rectus to the metallic mesh. During second surgery, fibrous tissues invaded into the mesh resulting in adherence of soft tissue to the orbit. Weremoved the mesh and implanted a silicone plate to reconstruct the orbital floor. A third surgery became necessary 6 months later because of persist-ent diplopia. We removed the silicone plate which was encapsulated by thick fibrous tissue and released the adhesion to the surrounding soft tissue. We implanted an acrylic plate anew and the di-plopia disappeared.

We hold the view that titanium mesh is contrain-dicated in the reconstruction of orbital floor because of its tendency to incur fibrotic reaction in the adjacent tissue and eventually to impair ocular motility.
