We report a case of Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) with a very rare combination of cancers, involving bilateral eyelid cancers and breast cancer. A 71-year-old female with a history of breast cancer from 18 years prior presented with bilateral eyelid tumors. One of her siblings had lung cancer, and another had pancreatic cancer. She underwent excisional biopsy of the eyelid tumors and histopathology...

purpose: to describe a patient with eyelid sarcoidosis. case report: a 54 year-old patient was referred for an eyelid mass from 6 months ago.excisional biopsy showed inflammatory granuloma with tuton gaint cells. chest radiograph demonstrated bilateral hilar adenopathy, increased absorption on gallium scan was noted and bronchoalveolar lavage confirmed a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. treatment with...

purpose: to report the clinical, paraclinical and histopathologic features of eyelid mass lesions in a patient with tuberous sclerosis. case report: a 14 year old boy with a slowly progressive right upper lid mass and history of seizures, mental retardation and multiple skin lesions on the face and body was referred to labbafinejad medical center. cortical tubers and subepandimal nodules were r...

Human bite injury to the eyelid is extremely rare and poses a significant challenge in surgical reconstruction. We report an extremely rare case of human bite injury to the eyelid in a 43-year-old male with approximately 60% full thickness loss of the upper eyelid and 80% to 90% full thickness loss of the lower eyelid and its successful reconstruction using the local advancement cheek flap.

There are several options available for upper eyelid reconstruction that depend on the extent of involvement of the anterior and posterior lamella. Knowledge of the anatomy will ensure that in addition to the creation of an aesthetically acceptable eyelid reconstruction, a functional upper lid will be restored. The purpose of this article is to outline the anatomy of the eyelid, to analyze the ...

BACKGROUND The challenge with the surgical repair of upper eyelid retraction is to obtain a more predictable and satisfactory postoperative eyelid contour and height, and to minimise the need for further surgery. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients treated surgically for eyelid retraction at Moorfields Eye Hospital over a 13 year period. RESULTS In this study good...

Aging of the lower eyelid involves a complex series of anatomic and physiologic changes that occur over time. Rejuvenation of the lower eyelid complex must systemically address the various contributions of soft tissue laxity, pseudoherniation of orbital fat, and loss of periorbital volume. This article outlines the evolution of our approach to lower eyelid blepharoplasty with a specific focus o...

PURPOSE To compare functional and surgical outcomes of a subperiosteal midface lift with and without the placement of a hard palate mucosal graft (HPMG) in patients with lower eyelid retraction. DESIGN Retrospective, comparative, interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-four patients with lower eyelid retractions who underwent surgery at the Jules Stein Eye Institute in a 5-year peri...

We describe three patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and marked eyelid retraction: A 33-year-old woman with ataxia, pyramidal signs and eyelid retraction; genetic test confirmed SCA1 (Figure A). A 41-year-old man with ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, neuropathy and eyelid retraction; genetic test confirmed SCA2 (Figure B). A 68-year-old man with ataxia, neuropathy, nystagmus and eyelid retracti...

In five cases, a simplified anterior tarsal resection corrected complicated upper eyelid blepharoptosis and contour abnormalities. One case of residual blepharoptosis after levator muscle resection was corrected by resecting an amount of tarsus equal to the desired amount of correction. Two cases of upper eyelid blepharoptosis resulting from overcorrected levator muscle recession were corrected...
