Periocular haemangiomas of infancy can cause severe and rapid ocular damage. Oral corticosteroids remain the front-line treatment to minimize the consequences of these haemangiomas. The aim of this report is to summarize our experience with pulse intravenous methylprednisolone as an alternative therapy for periocular haemangioma when visual prognosis is engaged. Fifteen infants, who presented p...

This paper describes two patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the periocular and periorbital skin who presented with trigeminal neuralgia. Both patients had previous cutaneous SCC of the scalp treated successfully with surgical resection but later presented with neuro-ophthalmic findings suggesting perineural invasion (PNI) of SCC. PNI of SCC in the periocular skin or orbit can lead t...

The purpose of this paper is to present Wegener granulomatosis manifesting in its periocular form. Review with new developments in understanding of the etiopathogenesis, clinical and laboratory findings as well as therapy modalities are shown through a series of patients gathered in collaboration with colleagues from UMC Utrecht, Netherlands. In the period from 1992 until 2004 the group of 54 p...

BACKGROUND High-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) is a useful tool in defining anatomic and dynamic soft tissue relationships in the periocular area. It also allows visualization of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel within the soft tissue. OBJECTIVES The authors investigate the difference in the distribution pattern between 2 HA fillers in the periocular tissue using HRUS. METHODS The charts of 10 patien...

PURPOSE The aim of this article was to describe positive sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) findings in patients with periocular invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS This was a retrospective chart review of 5 patients with invasive SCC of the periocular region who underwent SLNB and were found to have regional metastasis. RESULTS All patients had large (2.0-4.3 cm) primary tumors ...

PURPOSE To determine the localization of retinoic acid receptors (RAR) alpha, beta, and gamma and retinoid X receptors (RXR) alpha, beta, and gamma in developing and adult mouse eyes at the level of single cells. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraformaldehyde-lysine-periodate-fixed cryosections of mouse eyes, from embryonic day 10.5 to adulthood, with polyclonal antibodies dir...

objective: there is some evidence that chronic skin diseases like dermatitis could affect the quality of life of sufferers. in addition, patients with dermatological disorders are at greater risk to develop psychiatric morbidity. the aim of this study was to explore the quality of life in patients with chronic eczematous dermatitis. we also examined the effect of a convenient dermatologic inter...

PURPOSE Congenital eye malformations are a leading cause of blindness in children. Influenza virus infections prevail worldwide and have been implicated in congenital defects. Infections acquired during gestation may disrupt eye morphogenesis. We investigated the effects of influenza B virus infection on eye malformations during early embryogenesis. METHODS Chick embryos were exposed to influ...

BACKGROUND Upper eyelid dermatochalasis is typically treated with excisional blepharoplasty. The role of the CO2 laser previously had been confined to that of a vaporizing, incisional, or hemostatic tool. Over the past several years, however, ablative CO2 laser skin resurfacing has been popularized as an adjunctive treatment to blepharoplasty to minimize periorbital rhytides through its vaporiz...

Smartphone based periocular recognition has gained significant attention from biometric research community because of the limitations of biometric modalities like face, iris etc. Most of the existing methods for periocular recognition employ hand-crafted features. Recently, learning based image representation techniques like deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) have shown outstanding perform...
