Abstract
Orbital hyper- and hypertelorism are malformations usually found secondary to encephalocele, facial cleft, medial facial dysraphia, or craniosynostosis. After the pioneer work of Tessier [5] the possibility of surgical treatment of these craniofacial deformities started to become a reality. This paper presents the surgical techniques used to correct the aesthetic and functional aspects of the increased or decreased distance between the eyes.
