  • Title: Pericranial flap correction of superior sulcus depression in the anophthalmic orbit.
    Author: Hobar PC, Burt JD, Masson JA, Merritt JA, Trawnik R.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 1999 Nov; 10(6):487-90. PubMed ID: 10726501.
    Abstract:
    Distortion of the supratarsal sulcus of the upper eyelid after orbital trauma is a well-recognized and troublesome problem. This is particularly true of the anophthalmic orbit. The authors present two patients in whom this deformity has been addressed using a pedicled pericranial flap. They found this technique provides abundant, well-vascularized tissue that is manipulated easily to conform to the demands of the defect. In addition, the vascularity of the tissue provides predictability of the result when compared with other described techniques such as fat and dermis-fat grafts.
