ABSTRACT
We present the experience of the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department of Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Curitiba and Hospital Universitário Cajuru PUC-PR in the transnasal endoscopic approach to medial orbital blowout fractures using nasal septum grafts. Seventeen patients have undergone endoscopic repair since June 2005, and septum grafts were used to maintain the orbital contents in position. All 17 patients were treated with this method. Two patients had diplopia on immediate postoperative evaluation. This symptom was corrected with orthoptic exercises in one patient, and the other had a little residual diplopia. Postoperative computed tomography scans showed anatomic reduction in 14 of 17 cases. There were no complications in these surgeries. The transnasal endoscopic approach is a reasonable method for the treatment of medial orbital blowout fractures. Use of septum graft is another surgical alternative for this technique.

O hipertelorismo de Greig é uma disostose congênita, devida a anomalia do desenvolvimento dos ossos do crânio e face, caracterizada pelo aumento da separaçäo entre as órbitas. Outras alteraçöes anatômicas podem associar-se ao hipertelorismo, entre elas, a microftalmia, a microcórnea, o coloboma de disco óptico, as escleras azuladas, a paralisia dos músculos retos laterais. Dentiçäo anormal, palato em ogiva, sindactilia, alargamento das falanges, acrocianose e clavículas rudimentares säo outras alteraçöes associadas ao hipertelorismo de Greig. Neste estudos, os autores relatam 1 caso de hipertelorismo de Greig com algumas das alteraçöes acima, bem como, catarata e coloboma de íris em ambos os olhos
