Abstract

A simple method for medical canthal wiring reconstruction with the help of a homolaterally fixed osteosynthesis plate and a metal wire is presented. This avoids transnasal wiring and gives superior control when correcting the position of the lacerated Omedial canthus.

Restrictive horizontal strabismus following blepharoplasty.

PURPOSE: To report a case of horizontal diplopia after a four-lid blepharoplasty. DESIGN: Observational and interventional case report. METHODS: Analysis of the history and management of a 64-year-old man who underwent a four-lid blepharoplasty, after which he developed horizontal diplopia. RESULTS: The patient was found to have a restrictive esotropia. He underwent a recession of the left medial rectus on an adjustable suture, with recurrence of the same pattern of diplopia one month after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The involvement of the extraocular muscles as a complication of blepharoplasty is uncommon, but when it is present, it may be very difficult to treat.
