Abstract
• Strabismus, ptosis, lateral canthal dystopia, nasolacrimal obstruction, and cranial nerve palsy were noted preoperatively in 32%, 21%, 14%, 12%, and 9% of 34 patients, respectively, undergoing ophthalmologic evaluation prior to unilateral orbital advancement for plagiocephaly. Thirty-two percent of the patients had normal preoperative ocular and adnexal examination results. Ptosis, strabismus, and amblyopia were frequently acquired postoperative abnormalities in 29%, 18%, and 18% of the patients, respectively. Forty-four percent of the patients had no new abnormalities following craniofacial surgery.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
