definition of hypertelorism:
iod: inter orbital distance or the distance between orbits ranges from 24-32mm typically
icd: inter canthal distance or the distance between the eyes (flesh) ranges from 30-35mm'
iod is usually within 3-6mm of icd
Tessier classifications link
useful
mild hypertelorism (30-34mm iod)
moderate hypertelorism (35-39mm iod)
severe hypertelorism (40mm+ iod)
moderate and severe cases make the bulk of all cases of orbital box oestomy in this linked study however 13% are still classified as those with mild hypertelorism.
methods of solving hypertelorism:
Orbital box Osteotomy
180 degree orbital box Osteotomy:
The osteotomy involves cutting the orbital roof, floor, medial, and lateral walls. The orbital box is then repositioned and fixed with plates or screws.
Combined Orbital and Midface Box Osteotomy:
The orbital box and midface are mobilized as a single unit, allowing for simultaneous correction of orbital and midfacial deformities.
Medial Orbital Wall Graft:
The medial wall is exposed, and a graft (e.g., bone, cartilage, or synthetic material) is placed to correct defects or deformities.
Limited Medial Wall Osteotomy:
The medial wall is partially cut and repositioned
Gradual Orbital Mobilization with Distraction Osteogenesis:
Osteotomies are performed, and a distraction device is placed to slowly move the orbital segment into the desired position.
Combined bilateral medial orbital Osteotomy:
Both medial walls are osteotomized and repositioned medially to reduce interorbital distance.
transpalpebral Medial Orbital Osteotomy:
The osteotomy is performed via an upper or lower eyelid incision, reducing external scarring.
Endoscopic Medial Orbital Osteotomy:
the procedure is done with the aid of a small camera (endoscope) and minimally invasive tools.
medial canthoplasty:
iod: inter orbital distance or the distance between orbits ranges from 24-32mm typically
icd: inter canthal distance or the distance between the eyes (flesh) ranges from 30-35mm'
iod is usually within 3-6mm of icd

methods of solving hypertelorism:
Orbital box Osteotomy
- many different types including
- 4 wall box Osteotomy
-
- more invasive
- better control
- less limited movement
-
- Spectacle Osteotomy
- Less likely in adults
- better fixation area
- cannot be done in patients with frontal encephalocele
- focus on moderate cases
- more limited movement
- performed without full box and is less invasive
- in the glabella
- uses glabella as anchor for stability
- can be considered less invasive depending on exact method
- can affect nasal airways

medial canthoplasty:
- The surgeon make incisions inside the lower eyelid ( transconjunctival, through the mucous membrane), or on the skin, to access the inner canthus.
- The procedure may also involve any excess tissue or skin, the medial canthus, and sometimes altering the canthal tendon to a new position.
- Lateral canthoplasty usually involves the lateral canthus (outer corner) by making an incision near the tendon, which is then anchored in a higher position.
- The procedure may involve removal of skin or tightening of the surrounding tissues.
