Conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from an anophthalmic socket is quite rare, with few reports in the English literature. A 59-year-old man who had used an ocular prosthesis for 40 years had not removed the ocular prosthesis at all during the last 5 years. He had developed a mass on his entire right upper eyelid, and biopsy revealed a moderately differentiated SCC. Orbital exent...

purpose: to evaluate anophthalmic socket complications and the incidence of sympathetic ophthalmia among individuals who had undergone primary enucleation or severe ocular trauma during the war between iran and iraq. methods: all monocular veterans of the mentioned war in khorasan province, iran were recalled during a 7-month period. preliminary data including age at the time of injury, occupat...

NHERITANCE of eyelessness in mice has been discussed in a previous I paper (CHASE 194zb) in which the method of analysis was the crossing of the inbred eyeless strain with other strains. The present study considers another method suggested a t that time, involving a control of modifiers. This was made possible by a reverse mutation toward normal eyes in the eyeless strain. From the mutant indiv...

PURPOSE Changes in anophthalmic socket anatomy can significantly compromise esthetics and motility after enucleation. This study evaluated such changes by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of enucleated and fellow orbits. METHODS High-resolution, surface coil MRI was performed in five patients after enucleation for uveal melanoma. Images were analyzed quantitatively to determine extraocu...

Five out of 149 patients (3%) who received an intraorbital implant to prevent or treat the disfiguring symptoms associated with the postenucleation socket syndrome developed intraorbital conjunctival cysts. All five patients had received a secondary implant two 14 months previously. After excision of the cysts four patients required additional surgery for lack of conjunctiva and/or recurrent cy...
