    Dr. Manu Saini and colleagues demonstrate the use of retroauricular cartilage as a spacer for lower eyelid retraction in a patient with facial nerve palsy. The palsy occurred secondary to brain tumor surgery, leaving the patient with lagophthalmos. Spacer placement into the posterior lamella of the lower eyelid was planned in combination with lateral tarsal strip procedures in order to augment the eyelid's height.
