  • Title: Posteriorly Displaced Orbital Implant Causing Intractable Anophthalmic Socket Pain.
    Author: Hartford JB, Zehden J, Sweeney AR, Yen MT.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; ; 37(3):e105-e107. PubMed ID: 33156143.
    Abstract:
    Anophthalmic socket pain is a rare complication of enucleation. The authors present a patient presenting with intractable anophthalmic socket pain due to a posteriorly displaced orbital implant. The patient's pain localized to the V1 and V2 orbitofacial dermatomes, and we suspect compression of the frontal and zygomatic branches of the ophthalmic and maxillary nerves, respectively, as the underlying etiology of the patient's pain. Removal of the implant and placement of a dermis fat graft was effective at alleviating the patient's symptoms.
