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...

abstract background: invasive fungal infection is an opportunistic infection caused commonly by mucoraccae and aspergillus. it mostly occurs in patients with underlying disease. since it has a high mortality and morbidity rate, considering a treatment strategy seems necessary.   objective: since there has not been a clear protocol for treating these patients, we decided to establish a protocol ...

purpose:  to report a case of lymphangioma in the lacrimal gland. case report: a 6-year old boy with acute proptosis and inferonasal displacement of the globe was referred.  in ct-scan revealed a heterogenous enlargement of the lacrimal gland. steroid therapy did not lead to a significant improvement. during surgical exploration, a dark black liquid was extracted from the site of the lacrimal g...

purpose : to review periocular dermoid cysts to determine distribution of demographic factors, and tumor location methods : in this retrospective, observational case series in a tertiary-care hospital, we reviewed all cases of histopathologically verified periocular dermoid cysts at our institution between 2003 and 2011. the study endpoints included: age, gender, and tumor location. results : t...

purpose : to report an unusual case of dermoid cyst of the frontal bone case report : we report a case of 28-year-old man with a history of painless progressive proptosis of the left eye. ct-scan was showed a hypodense lesion that mainly located within the frontal bone with only a small intraorbital involvement. excisional biopsy was performed and histopathologic examination was compatible with...

purpose : to report a case of total blindness a few hours after orbital blowout fracture repair the visual acuity (va) returned to normal after immediate reoperation. case report : a 21-year-old man with obvious enophthalmos in the left side, 2 weeks after car accident, was candidate for orbital floor reconstruction surgery. anterior orbitotomy from subcilliary incision was done and at the end ...

Isolated bilateral orbital floor fractures are uncommon and are rarely described in the scientific literature. They are usually seen in association with naso-ethmoidal fractures, zygomatic fractures, or fractures of the middle third. We report our experience in the management of a patient presenting bilateral isolated orbital floor fracture. The difficulties in management of these fractures are...

BACKGROUND The aim of this retrospective study was to document the clinical findings and radiological features of idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome with retro-orbital involvement. METHODS We searched for ophthalmological patients who received orbital imaging at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital between October 2003 and April 2010. Seventy-three patients were diagnosed with idiopath...

The regioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between mesoionic compounds with singly-tethered substituents is examined. The results with propitiate dipolarophiles are compared with other singly and doubly-tethered examples according to a model using an asynchronous, concerted transition state. The isolation and reaction of a novel, nonaryl substituted mesoionic compound 7 is repo...
