BACKGROUND Laxity and rhytidosis of eyelid skin as a result of photoaging is a frequent cosmetic concern. Fine lines and deep wrinkles may not be optimally addressed with traditional ablative carbon dioxide (CO(2)) resurfacing. Modern devices allow for surface fractional ablation and deep fractional ablation with narrow treatment columns that target deep dermal layers. OBJECTIVES To examine t...

Worldwide, more than 200 cases of Denys-Drash syndrome have been published up to date. This patient from Southern Philippines presented with a left abdominal mass associated signs nephropathy such as periorbital, facial and bipedal edema. He also ambiguous genitalia undescended testis, left.

Up to 30% of patients who have periorbital trauma will have ocular injury with devastating consequences if missed. All staff working with acutely injured Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) patients should be competent in a basic eye examination with documentation of visual acuity, gross visual fields, eye movements, diplopia, and pupillary responses at a minimum. As a standard we adapted gui...

Introduction: The periorbital subunit is one of the first regions to present signs of aging, resulting in sagging, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Surgical and non-surgical ambulatorial procedures, including chemical peels, lasers, neurotoxins, and cutaneous filling, form an important basis for the rejuvenation of this region. Objective: The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to eva...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the clinical role of (18)F-FDG PET/CT for the evaluation of lymph node metastasis in periorbital malignancies, compared with CT alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed eighteen PET/CT and CT scans in 15 patients with biopsy-proven periorbital malignancies. We compared the diagnostic capabilities of PET/CT and CT with regard to nodal metastasis by...

BACKGROUND Orbital complications following functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) are fortunately rare. They are usually easily and rapidly recognizable. CASE PRESENTATION We present an unusual case of a forty-five year old woman who underwent routine FESS and was not packed nasally after the procedure. Six hours later she started bleeding and nasal packs were inserted. She soon developed...

Purpose: Evaluation of prevalence of UG with different commonly used therapy. Study design: Randomised prospective hospital based study Study Period: 2007-2012 Methods: Baseline IOP; Field and optic nerve h...

Subconjunctival emphysema is a condition that must theoretically exist in severe subcutaneous emphysema due to the laxity of the conjunctival tissues. However, this is generally obscured by associated periorbital emphysema and is hidden from view. We present documented evidence of subconjunctival emphysema in the absence of periorbital emphysema. A 53 year old man was admitted with a large righ...

A 69 year old Chinese housewife presented with periorbital puffiness, and dry eyes and mouth. Subsequent investigations confirmed the presence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Sjogren's syndrome and orbital lymphoma. This unusual combination is discussed with reference to previous publications.
