Socket Reconstruction after Firework Explosion Injury
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
We report a challenging case of orbital socket reconstruction. A 49- year-old man presented two weeks after fireworks exploded in his face. He had multiple orbital bone fractures on the right and the globe was enucleated because of severe damage. No primary orbital implant was used due to infection risk. One month after the trauma he suffered from infection of the conjunctival sac and periorbital skin despite initial intravenous and oral antibiotics. Because of inability to wear a cover shell eye prosthesis the socket reconstruction was started ten months after trauma.
