ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Porous orbital implant Medpor(R) which is made of polyethylene is being widely used currently. Compared with previously used porous orbital implants, it is somewhat preferred due to cheaper and easier usage but reports on its postoperative complications are not sufficient. We report the first case of Medpor(R) infection developed domestically.

METHODS:

A 20 year-old male patient was admitted with Medpor(R) infection 14 months after Medpor(R) orbital implant insertion. He was treated with antibiotics.

RESULTS:

Infection was controlled with antibiotics without implant removal. Implant exposure occurred after infection control so dermis graft was done.
