Orbital conjunctival epithelial cysts have traditionally been excised, with the risk of leaving behind remnants that may result in recurrences. We present an 18-year-old male who complained a poorly retained prosthesis three years after primary evisceration and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) ball implant. performed cyst aspiration injection foam sclerotherapy for cyst, which resolved completely ...

purpose : to report a patient with orbital pseudotumor masquerading as orbital cellulitis case report : a 42-year-old woman was referred to orbit and oculoplastic clinic with 6 days history of left orbital pain, proptosis, lid edema and fever. clinical finding included severe lid edema, chemosis, conjunctival injection and severe restriction in extraocular motility. she was diagnosed as orbital...

BACKGROUND/AIM Children with congenital microphthalmos are usually able to wear an eye prosthesis but the cosmetic aspect is determined by the size of the orbital volume deficiency. Instead of using a ball shaped standard hydrogel expander or a regular orbital implant, which would necessitate enucleation of the microphthalmic eye, this study investigates the feasibility of volume augmentation w...

An improved means for the attachment of an external prosthesis to an amputated extremity is most desirous today as it was when this project was begun and conceived in 1952. The basic work for this project was delayed by military service until 1956. I t was made possible through a grant from the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation and a grant from the Veterans Administration (Research ...

Sino-nasal mycosis is a known complication in patients with immunological or metabolic compromise. Mainstay of treatment includes reversal of the compromised state, systemic antifungals and repeated radical debridements assisted by serial imaging. Salvage is possible provided no cerebral extension exists on presentation. The resultant deformity following debidement causes gross morbidity and ps...

Ocular defects result from tumor, congenital anomaly and external injury not only lead to serious impairment of function and esthetics but also make the patient psychologically disabled. Prosthetic rehabilitation attempts to restore these disfgurements may improve esthetic, level of function, general psychologic improvement and quality of life. This clinical report details an attempt to rehabil...

Loss of eye leads to significant psychological trauma which necessitate rehabilitation. Restoring defects with prostheses will uplift status such patients by re-establishing the facial structures and appearance, eventually returning them their normal life. Even though prefabricated orbital are available, lack proper fitting indirectly affect comfort aesthetics. Custom-made prosthesis is still p...

PURPOSES The study is to describe a new surgical technique for correcting large orbital implant exposure with extraocular muscle flaps and to propose a treatment algorithm for orbital implant exposure. METHODS In a retrospective study, seven patients with orbital implant exposure were treated with extraocular muscle flaps. All data were collected from patients in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital,...

malignancies of the midface result in cosmetic deformities that make maxillofacial prosthesis as an integral part of the treatment plan. facial defects can be devastating in their impact on physical structure and function of the affected individual, leading to potentional compromises in quality of life. reconstruction of nasal defects is a challenge for the prosthodontist because of esthetic an...

We present a partial ion yield experiment on freon 13, CF(3)Cl, excited in the vicinity of the C 1s and Cl 2p ionization thresholds. We have collected a large amount of cationic fragments and a few anionic fragments at both edges. We have observed a strong intensity dependence of Rydberg transitions with ion fragment size for the CF(n)Cl(+) and CF(n)(+)/F(+) (n=0-3) series at both the Cl 2p and...
