- Abstract
A Subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse, an extremely rare condition, is herniation of intraconal orbital fat due to an acquired weakening of Tenon's capsule by ageing process, trauma or surgery. It is a yellow, soft, mobile mass most frequently located in the supero temporal aspect of the globe. Surgery is considered for irritative symptoms or for cosmetic reasons. Our patient was suffering from foreign body sensation due to the mass and wanted cosmetic correction for the same. After obtaining written informed consent for the surgical procedure patient was taken up for surgery and transconjunctival excision of prolapsed orbital fat was performed under local anaesthesia. The surgical procedure implemented by us caused no complications. Patients was followed up at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months and 1 year postoperatively and no recurrence was seen.
