purpose: to compare low volume transconjunctival anterior peribulbar anesthesia with transcutaneous posterior peribulbar anesthesia in phacoemulsification. methods: patients scheduled for phacoemulsification were randomly divided into two groups: in first group 5ml of 2% lidocaine was injected transcutaneously in the posterior orbital space. in the second group, 2ml of 5% lidocaine was injected...

conclusions this approach may be an appropriate approach to the zygomatic arch in the zmc fractures and eliminates the use of the coronal flap. introduction zygomatic arch fractures are common injuries in the maxillofacial injuries. sometimes it is necessary to fix the unstable fragments of the zygomatic arch. case presentation we introduce a combination of transconjunctival and lateral canthot...

The use of the lower eyelid transconjunctival approach in the setting of orbital trauma has becoming increasingly popular in recent years. However, experience has found that access to the lateral orbital rim can be somewhat limited with this type of incision. Many authors supplement the approach with a lateral canthotomy in order to gain adequate access laterally. Although usually well tolerate...

The aim of this report was to discuss a complication resulting from a transconjunctival approach to treating an orbital fracture. A 30-year-old male patient presented with a fracture to the zygomatic orbital complex. He was treated with transconjunctival conventional surgical treatment. Two days after surgical treatment, the patient presented with secondary chemosis which was initially slight a...

This technique, which targets excess ocular fat in the medial pocket, may be used as a primary procedure or as a secondary revision in patients who are unhappy with remaining excess medial fat after undergoing blepharoplasty. According to the author, the procedure is fast and relatively easy to perform, and patients benefit from rapid recovery, minimal morbidity, the use of local anesthesia, an...

PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcome of 23-gauge vitrectomy in children for various vitreoretinal conditions. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of consecutive children younger than 14 years who underwent 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy for various vitreoretinal conditions from January 2008 to December 2011 at a tertiary care center. RE...

UNLABELLED A case of orbital lymphangioma in a 9 year-old female, with proptosis (Hertel= 29 mm), ocular motility restriction, pain and visual loss due to compressive optic neuropathy is described. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam showed an expansive cystic lesion in the extraconal space of the right orbit, non-infiltrating with intralesional hemorrhage. The patient had no improvement wi...
