Although the diagnosis of Graves' orbitopathy is primarily made clinically based on laboratory tests indicative of thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity, imaging studies, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and color Doppler imaging, play an important role both in the diagnosis and follow-up after clinical or surgical treatment of the disease.

Several reviews of ocular amyloidosis have emphasized its origins in the conjunctiva and lid (Halasa, I965; Stansbury, I965; Smith and Zimmerman, I966). The occurrence of orbital amyloid has been considered extremely rare, its pathogenesis speculative, and its place in the spectrum of diseases associated with amyloid deposition uncertain (Groniowski, Bernardczykowa, and Norn, I965; Howard, I966...

The appearance of the face, which by some writers is considered to be almost pathognomonic, I consider to be not uulike that seen in India as the result of other wasting diseases, the sunken look of the eyes being due to the absorption of the orbital fat and being part of the general process of absorption which takes place during ...

The removal of an eye is one of the most difficult and dramatic decisions that a surgeon must consider in case of severe trauma or life-threatening diseases to the patient. The philosophy behind the design of orbital implants has evolved significantly over the last 60 years, and the use of ever more appropriate biomaterials has successfully reduced the complication rate and improved the patient...

We describe the case of a 29-year-old male who presented with new-onset seizures. He was subsequently found to have an orbital encephalocele containing a focus of pilocytic astrocytoma. We believe that this is the first report of a pilocytic astrocytoma located within the orbit that did not originate from the optic pathway. It is also the first case of a pilocytic astrocytoma completely contain...

purpose: to present a case of orbital granular cell tumor, a rare orbital tumor. case report: a 55-year-old woman presented with binocular diplopia and right ocular displacement. the problem had initiated 3 years ago. a firm nontender mass at the region of the right lower lid was visible. orbital ct-scan disclosed a well-defined mass in the inferior right orbit with involvement of the inferior ...

purpose: to present two cases of axial high myopia with esotropia (heavy eye syndrome) and the results of its surgical management. case report: two female subjects (15 and 17 years old) were referred to poostchi eye clinic, shiraz, iran with axial high myopia and esotropia. eye examination revealed more than 50 prism diopter (pd) esotropia and more than 10 pd hypotropia in primary position as w...

A 30-year-old male, who underwent previous pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade due to endogenous endophthalmitis originated from Klebsiella liver abscess, was referred for evisceration. At 2 months after vitrectomy with silicon oil tamponade, conjunctival chemosis and ocular pain were aggravated. Diffuse eyelid swelling and large subconjunctival mass with lipid droplets were noted....
