Bilateral extraocular muscles enlargement from Kimura's disease of the orbit
Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of unclear etiology, characterized by subcutaneous nodules, mainly in the head and neck region, frequently associated with regional lymphadenopathy. Orbital involvement is infrequent and when it occurs, usually affects the eyelid or the lacrimal gland. We report a case of a 44-year-old man that presented with bilateral slowly progress...
متن کاملNeurophysiology of extraocular muscles.
E. lye movements may be divided grossly into "tonic" and "phasic" movements. Are both of these principal types produced by the same motor nerves and muscle fibers, or are separate systems present that are functionally suited to each of the types of movements? Morphological and physiological studies demonstrate that at least two and possibly three neuromuscular systems are present in eye muscles...
متن کاملKimura's Disease Involving the Ipsilateral Face and Extraocular Muscles
Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder, which is characterized by tumor-like masses mainly located in the head and neck region. Extraocular muscle involvement in KD is uncommon. We report a case of KD that involved both the extraocular muscles and buccal area. A 13-year-old male presented to our clinic with a two-year history of exophthalmos of the left eye and facial sw...
متن کاملExtraocular muscle damage from dental implant penetration to the orbit
Purpose To demonstrate an unusual case of orbital trauma due to dental surgery complication. Observations An elderly patient who underwent dental implantation to the zygomatic bone was hospitalized in the ophthalmology department with impaired abduction of her right eye, also evident on ocular examination. Head computed tomography demonstrated damage to the lateral rectus and to the inferior ...
متن کاملHistology and Physiology of the Extraocular Muscles
As described in Chapter 4, the extraocular muscles perform two functions: optostatic and optokinetic. The optostatic function requires that the muscles maintain a state of postural tonicity; the optokinetic function requires that quick, tetanic contractions be performed. These two contradictory functions are served by two different sets of muscles in the skeletal muscle system. Eye muscles, how...
