ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar as características dos portadores de cavidades anoftálmicas que desenvolveram extrusão do implante. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo, observacional, tendo sido avaliados 37 portadores de cavidade anoftálmica que tiveram extrusão do implante de cavidade, na Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu-UNESP. RESULTADOS: As extrusões ocorreram em cavidades enucleadas ou evisceradas, a maioria delas submetidas a cirurgia em decorrência de phthisis bulbi ou trauma, em geral de 1 a 2 anos após a cirurgia inicial. A deiscência precedeu a extrusão em todos os casos, tendo a extrusão ocorrido com todos os tipos de implantes empregados. CONCLUSÃO: Após a colocação de implantes de cavidade podem ocorrer complicações. A deiscência e extrusão das esferas são possibilidades que podem requerer nova intervenção cirúrgica, para a qual o paciente e o oftalmologista devem estar preparados.


PURPOSE: To evaluate the characteristics of patients with anophthalmic cavity who developed sphere extrusion. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was done evaluating 37 patients with anophthalmic cavity and sphere extrusion at the "Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu-UNESP". RESULTS: Extrusion was observed in enucleated and eviscerated cavities. The majority of the patients had the eye removed because of phthisis bulbi or trauma and the extrusion happened 1 or 2 years after the surgery. Extrusion was preceded by conjunctival dehiscence and exposure of the sphere and occurred with all used implants. CONCLUSION: Complications after orbital implant placement are a possibility. Dehiscence and sphere extrusion may happen and another surgery would be necessary. The patient and the ophthalmologist have to be prepared for this.
