Comment. Subtenon corticosteroid injections are commonly used in the treatment of macular edema or posterior segment intraocular inflammation. Complications include inadvertent intravascular injection, globe perforation, cataract formation, ocular hypertension, blepharoptosis, orbital fat atrophy, strabismus, or allergic reactions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an abscess result...

BACKGROUND The orbital complications account for about 80% of all complications secondary to acute rhinosinusitis. If the treatment is not correct and in time, orbital complications could progress rapidly, leading to optic neuritis, cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis or life-threatening intracranial complications. AIMS To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of conservative therapy for the patient...

rehabilitation of facial defects is a complex task, requiring an individualized design of the technique for each patient. the disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye may result in significant physical and emotional problems. various treatment modalities are available, one of which is the use of implants. although implant-supported orbital prosthesis has a superior outcome, it may not b...

PURPOSE Paranasal sinusitis is widespread and can lead to orbital complications, blindness, and death. However, the correlation between ophthalmological findings and disease staging remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the staging, acute ophthalmological manifestations, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of orbital complications of paranasal sinusitis during a 27-year period. MET...

The normal and pathologic CT anatomy of the lacrimal drainage apparatus was examined during study of the orbits, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinuses in 100 patients with a variety of clinical complaints related to the inferomedial orbit. The bony lacrimal fossa, the nasolacrimal canal, and the fluid- or air-filled lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct were readily recognized in all cases. The lacr...

The large Sima de los Huesos sample provides for the first time the opportunity of performing a paleopathological study of a Middle Pleistocene population. A high frequency of bilateral temporomandibular arthropathy has been observed. We found an ear hyperostosis in Cranium 4, that probably caused deafness that we consider to be of infectious origin. Three osteomata were found in the cranial co...

Acute sinusitis (ARS) and chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS) is a common condition worldwide.CRS is due to the infection and inflammation of paranasal sinuses. Frequent clinical manifestations of ARS include persistent symptoms with nasal discharge or cough or both, presentation with fever accompanies purulent nasal discharge, and worsening symptoms. Complications of CRS have five stages, preseptal ce...

A febrile 38-year-old male presented with bilateral proptosis, motility dysfunction, and facial swelling (Fig. 1). The patient was recently treated for a nasal abscess and bacteremia, both positive for methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Visual acuity was 20/20 in each eye. Brain and orbit imaging revealed bilateral superior ophthalmic vein thromboses, cavernous sinus thromboses...
