intraocular metastatic tumors have been increasingly reported in the recent past. unlike choroidal metastasis, metastasis to retina is very rare and so far has been reported in very few case reports only. case presentation : a 56 year-old male who presented with a history of adenocarcinoma of the cecum and underwent lap colectomy for the primary cecal tumor, received adjuvant chemotherapy for a...

introduction penetration of a bicycle brake handle into the orbit is a rare and serious type of trauma. globe subluxation due to such trauma has not been previously reported. case presentation a 10-year-old girl presented after falling from a bicycle, which resulted in the handbrake penetrating her right upper eyelid. on examination, the globe was subluxated anteriorly, there was no light perce...

Ocular and orbital disorders leading to surgical procedures which generally results in ocular defects, if immediate intervention are done to preserve the anophthalmic socket size and giving the conformers to the patient, might lead to contractures of tissue after the surgical procedures. As in most of the cases the conformers are not given, this leads to delayed collapse of space for ocular pro...

PURPOSE To report the results of a simple outpatient method for soft tissue socket expansion in young children with congenital anophthalmos. METHODS Seventeen congenital anophthalmic sockets of 15 infants of a mean age of 4.2±4.4 months were fitted with specially designed serial solid acrylic shapes or hydrogel expanders using cyanoacrylate for eyelids closure when using the latter. RESULTS...

We placed spheres of synthetic hydroxyapatite (calcium chloride combined with sodium phosphate) in the eviscerated or enucleated orbital cavity of rats in order to evaluate the biocompatibility of this material with the orbital cavity. The study was conducted on 50 albino rats, 25 of which were submitted to enucleation and 25 to evisceration of one eye. The animals were sacrificed 7, 15, 21, 30...

Early visual areas have neuronal receptive fields that form a sampling mosaic of visual space, resulting in a series of retinotopic maps in which the same region of space is represented in multiple visual areas. It is not clear to what extent the development and maintenance of this retinotopic organization in humans depend on retinal waves and/or visual experience. We examined the corticocortic...
