Abstract
Objectives To describe medical and surgical options and techniques for functional and aesthetic abnormalities after orbital surgery and multidisciplinary approaches that include the orbit.
Design A review of current management options in outpatient clinics and ambulatory surgery centers with selected illustrative cases. The rationale for choosing specific medical and surgical interventions will be discussed with a focus on eyelid malposition and double vision.
Setting Outpatient clinics and ambulatory surgery centers.
Participants Patients with eyelid, orbital, eye muscle, and scalp contour abnormalities as a result of medical and surgical interventions for brain and/or orbital tumors.
Main Outcome Measures Descriptive outcomes.
Results A variety of medical and surgical options are available to optimize eyelid, orbit, extraocular muscle, and scalp structure and function.
