“…3,7,8 In a 10-year study of the complications of alloplastic implants, only two patients were reported to have developed cysts, these related to partial absorption of Gelfilm implants. 9 The other sporadic reports of surgical implantation cysts involve patients who had previous enucleation, 10 retinal detachment surgery with scleral buckling, 2 or strabismus surgery; 11 in all cases, complete excision of the cysts was curative. Visual functions improved after surgery in a half of our series of patients, with no deterioration in the remainder-this improvement highlighting the value of such surgery in relieving distortion of the globe or possibly pressure on the optic nerve.…”

“…Several studies recommend not to use a silicone implant because of its complications [5][6][7][8][9], but some other studies have reported a positive opinion for use of a silicone implant [10,11]. Therefore, silicone implant use is controversial.…”

Repeated Hemorrhage after Repair of Orbital Floor Fracture with a Silicone Implant

A 16-year-old girl was accidentally kicked in her right eye by her cheerleading teammate in an exercise. Upward gaze ability of her right eye was severely impaired and computed tomography (CT) showed a trapdoor fracture of the right orbital floor. After surgical exploration, a silicone implant was inserted. No bleeding was confirmed at this time. The next day, CT detected a hematoma on the right orbital floor. The hematoma was drained and meticulous cautery was used to control any potential bleeding. The same silicone implant was re-inserted. Irrespective of attempts to avoid hemorrhage, this occurred twice after the respective evacuations. During a fourth operation, we removed the silicone implant simultaneously with hematoma evacuation. No hematoma has occurred since, and the patient's ocular movement has dramatically improved to a normal binocular single vision field. When repeated hemorrhages occur after an orbital floor fracture repair with insertion of a silicone implant, removal of the implant is an effective strategy to resolve the hemorrhage.
