purpose: to present the success of novel method for management of conjunctival orbital inclusion cysts following enucleation after using trichloroacetic acid injection technique. methods: a 20% tca solution was injected to treat 6 cases of orbital conjuctival cyst in anophthalmic socket. results: all the patients were treated successfully. the follow-up interval was 1-7 years. no recurrence or ...

AIMS To establish a correct method of evaluation and management of contracted sockets RESULTS Anopthalmic socket were frequently seen in orbit and Oculoplasty clinic of Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, South India. Prospective evaluation of Anophthalmic Sockets was done in this study. Anophthalmic Socket which can not support prosthetic eye is called contracted socket.4,5,14. These sockets were...

We report an unusual periocular injury in a 19-year-old motorcycle rider during an accident. The patient had lacerations on the right upper and lower eyelids and the globe was enucleated en bloc. Despite disorganization of the eyelids and orbit, reconstruction of the eyelids and anophthalmic socket was successful. The primary reconstruction of the anophthalmic socket in the traumatic enucleatio...

PURPOSE To measure the volume of the anophthalmic orbit in adults who had undergone enucleation during infancy and to determine its growth. METHODS The orbital volume in 5 adults who had undergone unilateral enucleation during infancy without an orbital implant was measured on x-ray computed tomography images. Comparisons were made between the anophthalmic and normal sides. In addition, we ev...

To describe the management strategy and evaluate outcome of Anophthalmic socket syndrome. This retrospective case study includes 40 patients with anophthalmic syndrome who attended orbit ocular oncology department Ispahani Islamia Eye Hospital from January 1, 2018, to June 31, 2021 were included in this study. All information regarding age, gender, initial pathology, type surgery, implant, degr...

Introduction Orbital volume deficiency is caused by various diseases and it can be present in different clinical scenarios. Orbital volume replacement in the posttraumatic enophtalmos is currently addressed by different surgical methods. Several autologous tissues and alloplastic materials have been used. The purpose of this article is to introduce our experience in the management of 8 complex ...

The optic anlage of the anophthalmic murine strain ZRDCT/an has been studied. In this strain, 70% of the adults are anophthalmic, 30% are one-eyed. The eye primordium appears and starts to differentiate at day 9 of gestation, then it degenerates. At 13 days of gestation, it has practically disappeared. When isolated and cultured in vitro, the 10-day anophthalmic anlage develops in the same way ...

OBJECTIVES To identify and explain morphologic changes of the extraocular muscles (EOMs) in anophthalmic patients. METHODS Retrospective medical record review of patients with congenital anophthalmia, using magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative findings to characterize EOM morphology. We then used molecular biology techniques in zebrafish and chick embryos to determine the relationshi...

This literature review considers the treatment of an anophthalmic socket and the controversial aspects of the implants used to restore the lost volume after enucleation or evisceration, including the different materials employed and the main problems encountered during anophthalmic socket reconstruction. Since the 1980s, when integrated implants were proposed, there has been much controversy ab...

Previous imaging studies of congenital blindness have studied individuals with heterogeneous causes of blindness, which may influence the nature and extent of cross-modal plasticity. Here, we scanned a homogeneous group of blind people with bilateral congenital anophthalmia, a condition in which both eyes fail to develop, and, as a result, the visual pathway is not stimulated by either light or...
