Complications of frontal defects

A case where the severe course of an orbital phlegmon led to a
functionally and cosmetically poor condition is presented.
Thirty-five years later, it was possible to achieve a satisfactory
result through several operations performed with interdisciplinary
cooperation. The orbit and forehead were reconstructed with porous
polyethylene, thus ensuring a cosmetically good result. In two
operations, the left eye was freed from its upward fixation through
cicatrectomy and mobilization of the mucles, so that the eyes were
straight again in the primary position. There is a limited
binocular visual field. Binocular vision could be restored again
after an interruption of 35 years.
