Graves' exophthalmos: Volumetric assessment of orbital expansion.
INTRODUCTION Graves' ophthalmopathy is characterized by an increase in the volume of orbital soft tissue contents and an associated increase in intraorbital pressure. Surgical expansion of bony orbital volume is therefore an effective method of treating moderate to severe exophthalmos. Numerous correlations between specific decompression procedures and reduction of proptosis have been made. The...
متن کاملProsthetic Rehabilitation of a Pediatric Patient with an Ocular Defect
The eye is a vital organ for vision and an important component of facial expression. Loss of an eye has a crippling effect physically and psychologically. Especially, in case of a child where it affects the parent too and the approach toward these special children needs to be very special indeed. The construction of an ocular prosthesis for a child is the same as for an adult. A growing child w...
متن کاملA simplified approach to rehabilitate an ocular defect: Ocular prosthesis
A 42-year-old male patient complaint with missing right eye was referred to the Department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge. This patient was seeking artificial eye replacement. On careful clinical examination, a defect with a shrunken orbit and intact tissue bed was found in the patient. As the patient was economically very poor, modified stock ocular prosthesis was advised. To rehabilit...
متن کاملAn objective clinical study of chest expansion.
Rigidity of the thoracic cage as a characteristic feature of ankylosing spondylitis has been recognized for over 250 years since the classical description by Bernard Connor in 1691 (Hartung, 1954). The generally accepted importance of this sign is evidenced by its inclusion by two recent international symposia as a major criterion for the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis (Kellgren, Jeffrey, ...
متن کاملProgressive Muscle Cell Delivery as a Solution for Volumetric Muscle Defect Repair
Reconstructing functional volumetric tissue in vivo following implantation remains a critical challenge facing cell-based approaches. Several pre-vascularization approaches have been developed to increase cell viability following implantation. Structural and functional restoration was achieved in a preclinical rodent tissue defect; however, the approach used in this model fails to repair larger...
