Intracapsular Hemorrhage as a Late Complication of an Orbital Floor Implant

Late orbital haemorrhage around alloplastic orbital floor implants: a case series and review

“…There have been 10 cases (Table 1) reported in the literature of late orbital haemorrhage following alloplastic implants, occurring at 3 months to 20 years (median 14 years) after implant 1,3−7 . These were five men and five women, aged 20−49 years (median 33 years).…”

“…The most commonly reported complications of alloplastic orbital floor implants include infection, implant extrusion and ectropion with scleral show 2 . Orbital haemorrhage surrounding the implant is an uncommon complication of alloplastic implants and has been reported as small case series or individual case reports 1−6 . We reviewed the clinical, radiological and pathological findings of four cases of late orbital haemorrhage occurring around alloplastic orbital floor implants.…”

Case Peport, Chronic Subperiosteal Hematic Cyst Formation Twelve Years After Orbital Fracture Repair with Alloplastic Orbital Floor Implant

“…Formation of hematic cysts after alloplastic implants has also been reported (Milne, 1987;Bergin et al, 1988;Kang and Kwak, 1996;McCannel et al, 1996;Custer et al, 2003). Infection, dacryocystitis, hemorrhage, proptosis, globe elevation, fistula, cyst formation, and motility restriction have also been described (Mauriello et al, 1987;Jordan et al, 1992).…”

Aspergillus Infection of Supramid Orbital Implant and Hyperostosis of Orbital Bone: Report of a Unique Case

“…Complications of alloplastic orbital floor implants usually occur in the early post-operative period. Complications causing late proptosis are infrequent and include capsular haemorrhage, peri-implant inflammation, implant infection, sino-orbital fistula, intraorbital sinus mucocele, carotid cavernous fistula and intraorbital epithelial cyst formation (Custer et al, 2003;Jordan et al, 1992;McCannel et al, 1996;Mauriello et al, 1994;Stewart et al, 1995;Tahan et al, 2002).…”
