Quantitative assessment of osseous, ocular, and periocular changes after hypertelorism surgery.

Abstract：

:The purpose of this study was to develop a methodology to quantify osseous, ocular, and periocular fat changes caused by correction of orbital hypertelorism to test the hypothesis that there is a quantitatively predictable relationship between the movement of the osseous orbit and that of the ocular globe. A retrospective review was performed of 10 patients who were status post unilateral or bilateral transcranial medial orbital translocation, for whom there were archival digital data for preoperative and postoperative (mean interval = 30 months) three-dimensional computed tomographic (CT) scans. In addition to standard demographic and surgical data, the clinical preoperative and postoperative interpupillary and intermedial canthal distances were recorded. By using a computer graphics workstation, the CT digital data were registered to four surgically unaltered anatomic fiducial points to allow longitudinal quantitative comparisons. The following three-dimensional measurements were made for each patient preoperatively and postoperatively: interdacryon and interocular centroid distances, and on a standard series of three horizontal and two vertical planes, the position of the medial and lateral orbital walls, and the thickness of the medial and lateral periorbital fat (20 orbits). CT digital distances were compared with similar clinical distances when possible. The age at operation ranged from 4.0 to 12.5 years (mean, 6.6 years). The reduction in interdacryon distance exceeded the reduction in intercentroid distance (mean interdacryon change = -5.3 mm versus mean intercentroid change = -2.7 mm). Although there was a strong correlation between the amount of reduction of the lateral orbital wall and intercentroid distances, there was only a moderate correlation between the reduction in the intercentroid distance and that of the medial orbital wall. Similarly, there was a moderate correlation between the decrease in thickness of the lateral periorbital fat and the reduction of intercentroid distance but not of the medial orbital fat. In conclusion, medial translocation of the orbit does not produce equivalent movement of the ocular globe; neither the intermedial canthal nor the interdacryon distance is a useful predictor of ocular centroid position; and if the goal of hypertelorism operation is reduction of interocular distance, then CT measurement of globe intercentroid distance is essential for outcome assessment.
