| Popis: | Experimental and clinical investigations have documented the modulatory role of the globe in the development of the orbit. In cases of absence or early loss of the globe, severe hypoplasia of the orbit and midface has been reported by several authors. Statical conformers and orbital osteotomies have been used to correct the resulting facial asymmetry. When replacing such conformers by increasingly larger ones, orbital structures are negatively influenced by the repeated trauma of surgical interventions. Simulating the modulatory role of the globe on orbital growth was the objective when developing a pulsatile device for orbital enlargement in cases of anophthalmia and microrbitism. The design, application and preliminary experience with a dynamic, pulsatile expanding system are presented. |
