PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of transconjunctival Müller muscle recession and graded levator disinsertion for eyelid retraction in patients with thyroid-related orbitopathy (TRO). DESIGN Retrospective consecutive case series. METHODS Medical record review of 78 TRO patients (107 eyelids) who underwent surgery for upper eyelid retraction in a 5-year period was performed. Main outcome mea...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of upper-eyelid surgery (limited myectomy, blepharoplasty, and levator aponeurotic advancement) on patients who demonstrated a suboptimal response or residual heaviness of the upper eyelids after botulinum toxin eyelid injections for facial dyskinesia. DESIGN Retrospective study. SUBJECTS Charts of 358 patients with a diagnosis of benign essential blephar...

in this study ten pairs of superior gland of third eyelid of 10 adult male camels free of apparent ocular disease were examined to compare the normal anatomical and histological properties of these glands. after dissecting, all of the glands were characterized and measured (length and width) on both the left and right side. in the camels, the superior gland of the third eyelid was oval shaped a...

OBJECTIVE To provide clinical details and long-term outcome data for a series of patients with eyelid or conjunctival melanoma or eyelid sebaceous cell carcinoma who underwent sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. DESIGN Retrospective interventional case series with review of clinical records and pathologic specimens. SETTING Tertiary comprehensive cancer center. PATIENTS Twenty-five consecut...

Eyelid reconstruction remains one of the more challenging areas face to reconstruct due its dynamic complexity. They play an essential role in protecting globe, forming a barrier against trauma, excessive light, and pumping tears towards nasolacrimal duct system. A critical understanding anatomy soft tissue reconstructive options is properly eyelid maintain functional cosmetic components.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the differences between Asian and Caucasian upper eyelid anatomy through cadaver dissection, histopathological study, and magnetic resonance imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Upper eyelids of 9 Korean and 5 Caucasian cadavers were dissected, and then were studied microscopically with hematoxylin-eosin, Masson trichrome, and elastin stains. Four healthy young Korean men were...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and histopathological tolerance of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate versus conventional suture materials for eyelid wound closure in rabbits. METHODS We performed an experimental study on 16 eyes of eight New Zealand albino rabbits. Eyelid incisions of 15 mm were done 4mm from the upper eyelid margin in both eyes. The eyes of the rabbits were divided into two gr...

purpose: to present a case of traumatic bilateral eyelid lymphedema. case report: an 18-year old male presented with severe bilateral eye lid lymphedema with a history of severe craniofacial trauma three month ago and neurosurgical procedure. he had lost vision in his left eye because of sever globe injury. his lymphedema was attributed to wide surgical incision scar. the patient underwent manu...

We used a free tarsal-conjunctival grate from the upper eyelid and a nasal-based pedicle skin-muscle flap for reconstruction of the medial aspect of the lower eyelid. This had the advantage of confining the reconstruction to the local area and eliminated the need for a temporal flap or an eyelid sharing procedure that necessitates occluding the fissure for several weeks.
