Orbital Roof Reconstruction Using Nylon Foil Implants.
PURPOSE: To describe a surgical technique of orbital roof reconstruction with a thin nylon foil implant.
METHODS: This study is a description of a surgical technique with a retrospective chart review of 3 consecutive patients treated with a nylon foil implant for a complete superior orbital defect after meningioma resection via craniotomy approach.
RESULTS: The nylon foil reconstruction achieved an anatomically stable orbit without globe dystopia, pulsatile proptosis, cerebrospinal fluid leak, or other serious cranio-orbital problems, in all cases. Postoperative visual acuity, pain, extraocular motility, proptosis, and globe position remained stable or improved in each case. There were no complications related to the orbital roof reconstruction.
CONCLUSIONS: Nylon foil implantation was an effective and inexpensive surgical technique for orbital roof reconstruction after tumor resection in this small series.
