PURPOSE Seprafilm is a hybrid product of carboxymethylcellulose and sodium hyaluronate that can act as an absorbable barrier to decrease the formation and severity of postoperative adhesions in abdominal, thoracic, and pelvic surgeries. The authors report their experience with use of Seprafilm in "trap door" orbital wall fracture repair. METHODS Retrospective case series of 4 consecutive pati...

purpose : to report a case of total blindness a few hours after orbital blowout fracture repair the visual acuity (va) returned to normal after immediate reoperation. case report : a 21-year-old man with obvious enophthalmos in the left side, 2 weeks after car accident, was candidate for orbital floor reconstruction surgery. anterior orbitotomy from subcilliary incision was done and at the end ...

BACKGROUND Lymphomas of the orbit and orbital adnexae are rare tumors, comprising only 1% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The majority of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of the orbit are extranodal marginal-zone B-cell lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type. Because of nonspecific clinical signs and symptoms, some diagnostic delay may occur. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the diag...

Orbit has a complex anatomy with multiple structures embedded in it. Primary malignant tumors of the orbit are rare. Orbital neoplasms are usually multifaceted and require an interdisciplinary approach. They occur in adults over the age of 60 years. But benign orbital conditions can occur at young age [1]. After confirming the diagnosis of orbital tumors; various treatment methods performed are...

A 70-year-old man presented with painless , progressive protrusion of both eyes of 3 months' duration. He had been hospitalized on several occasions for dyspnea, congestive heart failure, and weight loss. Bronchial and pleural biopsy demonstrated fat-laden macrophages, but a definite diagnosis was not established. CT of the orbits demonstrated bilateral enhancing retrobulbar masses (fig. 1A). T...

Orbital complications categorised by Chandler are emergency. They need early diagnosis and agresive treatment. Stage and origin of orbital complications are identified by rhinoendoscopy, ophtalmologic examination and CT of orbite and paranasal sinuses. Periorbital cellulitis and early stage of orbital cellulitis can be treated conservatively with i. v. antibiotics. Monitoring of laboratory para...

PURPOSE The intraorbital wooden foreign body is often misdiagnosed or missed on computed tomog- raphy (CT) scan, due to the invisible or unclear images. The residual foreign bodies often occur during surgical removal. The clinical manifestations, imaging features and treatment of intraorbital wooden foreign bodies were discussed in this study. METHOD We retrospectively analyzed 14 cases of in...
