| Abstrakt: | Abstract: An 11-year-old boy presented with lagophthalmos of the left upper eyelid after traumatic scar contracture. Chronic eyelid hypophasis could produce dryness, foreign body sensation, cornea exposure. To reconstruct the upper eyelid defects after scar release represented a significant challenge in terms of recreating functional eyelids. The authors applied the orbital subcutaneous pedicled propeller flap for one-stage reconstruction of the lagophthalmos. Four weeks after surgery, the patient had functional eyelid with no ectropion, cornea exposure or conjunctivitis and the appearance of eyelid was improved. And the final result was found to be acceptable at 6 months follow-up. The authors consider that to repair the lagophthalmos of upper eyelid, the use of orbital subcutaneous propeller flap can achieve both functional and appearance improvement, it is an effective method with flexibility and personalization. Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose. (Copyright © 2020 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.) |
