ABSTRACT
Orbital exenteration has been used as a corrective method to treat lifetreatening neoplasm, life-threatening infection, and pain or deformity. After orbital exenteration, patients have been left with a severely disfiguring facial defect. Nowadays postoperative adjustment is usually better than before, with improved surgical and prosthesis manufacturing techniques. Actually Korean ophthalmologists do not have chances of adequate ocular prosthesis support compared to the other foreign countries. Authors experienced satisfying cosmetic result using a photography glasses frame for the pos-exenterated patient who had a squamous cell carcinoma of the orbit. We report this first case in Korea with review of the literatures.
