Do enucleation with primary implant insertion for treatment of recalcitrant endophthalmitis and panophthalmitis?
This study suggests that enucleation with primary orbital reconstruction and implant insertion for recalcitrant, fulminant ocular infection is an acceptable and advantageous treatment strategy. The risks and expenses associated with two separate surgeries are decreased, hospitalization time is potentially reduced, and subsequent rehabilitation can be initiated in a more timely fashion.
CIs have the potential to cause mechanical damage and electrical stimulation to the vestibular system. Possible implant-mediated mechanical damage and electrical stimulation in the high-frequency region affecting the cVEMP response could be found by a 1000-Hz stimulus.
