LATE RESULTS OF HYPERTELORISM CORRECTION

The late results of patients who were operated on for the correction o f hypertelorism were evaluated. Follow-up ranged between 1 and 11 year s (mean, 4.3 years). The mean interorbital distance was 32.9 mm preope ratively and 26.7 mm postoperatively. The significant decrease in the interorbital distance and the absence of serious postoperative complic ations revealed that craniofacial surgery for the correction of hypert elorism was an effective and reliable procedure.
