Abstract
The characteristic feature of type III NOE fracture is the avulsion of medial canthal tendon. This produces unfavourable changes in peri-orbital aesthetics, specifically, telecanthus & mongoloid slant. Restoration of aesthetics in such cases is challenging and technique sensitive. Delayed management renders more complexity to surgical management due to excessive scarring. Herein, a case of a 43-year-old man diagnosed with malunited type III naso-orbito-ethmoid fracture which was managed by Y-V canthoplasty for the restoration of medial canthal aesthetics along with open rhinoplasty and orbital floor reconstruction using orbital mesh is described.<h4>Supplementary information</h4>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12663-025-02591-4.
