PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the practice management patterns of the current members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) and to determine the use of oral prophylactic antibiotics in an attempt to prevent orbital cellulitis following nonoperative orbital fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional web-based survey was emai...

background: orbital mucormycosis caused by zygomycetes is a rare and fatal infection that generally affects the patients who  are  immunocompromised.  despite  antifungal  therapy  and  aggressive  surgical  intervention,  mucormycosis  can cause serious and rapidly fatal infections if delayed diagnosis or therapeutic management occurs. here, we report orbital mucormycosis in a healthy boy, wit...

purpose : to report a rare case of isolated orbital mucocele after trauma case report : a 45-year-old man presented with swelling in the left orbital region. the only significant event in his medical history was trauma which occurred 25 years previously during the iran-iraq war. computed tomography revealed a left medial intraorbital cystic mass lesion. the cystic mass was completely removed th...

purpose: to present the success of novel method for management of conjunctival orbital inclusion cysts following enucleation after using trichloroacetic acid injection technique. methods: a 20% tca solution was injected to treat 6 cases of orbital conjuctival cyst in anophthalmic socket. results: all the patients were treated successfully. the follow-up interval was 1-7 years. no recurrence or ...

purpose: to present a case of orbital granular cell tumor, a rare orbital tumor. case report: a 55-year-old woman presented with binocular diplopia and right ocular displacement. the problem had initiated 3 years ago. a firm nontender mass at the region of the right lower lid was visible. orbital ct-scan disclosed a well-defined mass in the inferior right orbit with involvement of the inferior ...

purpose: to present two cases of axial high myopia with esotropia (heavy eye syndrome) and the results of its surgical management. case report: two female subjects (15 and 17 years old) were referred to poostchi eye clinic, shiraz, iran with axial high myopia and esotropia. eye examination revealed more than 50 prism diopter (pd) esotropia and more than 10 pd hypotropia in primary position as w...

The researcher measured the least number of frequency response functions required for the identification of modal parameters, in order to simplify the identification of modal properties of such systems. In this work, the orbital machines are supposed to be a combination of orbital and non-orbital components. Structural Approach specified the identification of dynamic properties only to those ph...

Colorectal carcinoma is a common malignancy in India as well as in world. Inspite of its high metastasizing ability to various organs and lymph node, orbital metastasis is exceptional. Very few cases have been reported in the world literature. We report orbital metastasis in a case of moderately differentiated rectal adenocarcinoma in a 58-year male patient from India in 2015. We want to focus ...

purpose : fine needle aspiration (fna) cytologic findings of langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch) have been well described, but using this method in the diagnosis of orbital lesions is a recent experience. we hereby report two cases of orbital bone lch diagnosed by fna that later was confirmed by routine h&e; histopathology and immunohistochemistry (ihc) methods. case reports : the first case wa...
