“…Many procedures have been recommended to minimize the cosmetic defect and restore the volume and position of the orbital contents. They include placement of a primary implant (27,28) or a larger secondary implant (hydroxyapatite (27)(28)(29)(30)(31) or porous polyethylene-Medpor (32,33), placement of silicone in the upper eyelid sulcus, or the injection of room-temperature-vulcanizing silicone on the posterior orbital floor (34,35). Other biocompatible materials have been used, such as Proplast Il as a subperiosteal implant (36), silicone (Silastic) blocks for extraperiorbital implantation (37), or injectable cross-linked collagen (Zyplast) (38).…”

New information on the physiopathology and treatment of orbital volumes pathologies is described: 1) In post-enucleation or evisceration socket syndrome placing of synthetic material (HA-TCP) directly in the intraconal orbital fat can correct most of the symptoms. However the best approach is to prevent orbital volume deficiencies during first surgery using an implant large enough to allow a future prosthesis of a volume less than 2 mL. New procedures for placing the implant after enucleation or evisceration are described. 2) In proptosis related to Graves' orbitopathy relative indications are given for orbital decompression by removal of fat or bone.

“…The RTV silicone rubber base is a brand injectable silicone rubber elastomer, considered to be a biologically inert, nontoxic, nonreactive thermally stable elastomer, which is resistant to oxidation and vulcanizes at room temperature [ 8 ]. RTV silicone with a catalyst was placed in a dissected pocket subperiosteally along orbital walls to correct the volume deficit in both cases, vulcanizing the implant in situ into soft silicone rubber and conforming the implant to the orbital wall [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Two case reports are used to illustrate the signs and symptoms, complications and treatments of chronic socket inflammation due to intraorbital implants. The ophthalmic examination, surgeries and treatments are documented. Two anophthalmic cases that underwent enucleation and multiple orbital surgeries to enhance the anophthalmic socket volume developed pain, intense discharge and contracted cavities with chronic inflammation in the socket which was nonresponsive to medical therapy. Computed tomography indicated a hypodense foreign body in both cases causing an intense inflammatory reaction. The implants were removed by excisional surgery and a room temperature vulcanized silicone implant was retrieved in both cases. Socket inflammation resolved in both cases after implant removal. An intraorbital inflammatory reaction against an intraorbital implant can cause chronic socket inflammation in patients with a history of multiple surgeries. Diagnosis requires imaging and the definitive treatment is implant removal.
