Porous polyethylene is a widely used implants in orbital reconstruction, on which comprehensive clinical analysis, various treatments, and different prognosis according to specific classification principles on long-term complications have not been reported.To investigate the new clinical symptoms, intraoperative findings, treatments, and outcomes of complications long period after previous surg...

The mechanism of diplopia from enophthalmos is not well understood. We describe a 55-year-old man who underwent a left transorbital craniotomy for clipping of a basilar aneurysm. The lateral orbital wall was not reconstructed properly, resulting in 8 mm of left enophthalmos. Months after surgery the patient developed diplopia with ocular excursions, although he remained orthotropic in primary g...

The purpose of this article is to describe a technique for secondary reconstruction of traumatic orbital wall defects using titanium implants that act as three-dimensional (3D) puzzle pieces. We present three cases of large defect reconstruction using implants produced by Xilloc Medical B.V. (Maastricht, the Netherlands) with a 3D printer manufactured by LayerWise (3D Systems; Heverlee, Belgium...

A 50-year-old female presented to the Neurosurgery clinic with dimness of vision and proptosis of her right eye. Maxillofacial CT showed a hyperostotic mass involving the right sphenoid ridge, anterior clinoid process, orbital roof, and lateral wall with mass effect on the intraorbital contents and lateral wall of the sphenoid sinus. MRI of the brain and orbit showed a heterogeneous enhancement...

airway emergencies were significantly associated with death or brain damage [7]. In light of the complications associated with multiple laryngoscopy attempts, it seems advisable not always to proceed with three intubation attempts, but to limit the attempts to one or two under optimal conditions, before using a secondary airway plan. The evidence presented justifies the change by the ASA Task F...

PURPOSE To determine the exact anatomic location and volume of the thickest section of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone (trigone), which is removed during deep lateral orbital wall decompression. METHODS Eighteen dried skulls were used to determine the exact anatomic location and computed tomography (CT) images of 20 patients (10 male, 10 female) were used for volumetric calculations. ...
