    Abstract:
    Deformities in the orbital area can also be corrected by craniofacial surgery. Early surgery within the first year of life is indicated in cases with intracranial pressure if permanent damage to the eye is to be avoided. Otherwise, corrective surgery should be performed in early childhood, although it can also be performed on adult patients. More severe strabismus cannot be treated, but disturbance of lid function can be positively influenced. From the esthetic point of view considerable improvement can be achieved. These very protracted operations require intensive interdisciplinary cooperation.
