PURPOSE To evaluate the ophthalmoscopic appearance of the normal optic disc, parapapillary region, and retinal nerve fiber layer in rhesus monkeys. METHODS Color stereo fundus photographs of 17 normal eyes of 17 rhesus monkeys aged between 13 and 23 years were morphometrically evaluated. RESULTS The neuroretinal rim was significantly (P: < 0.008) broadest in the inferior disc region followe...

Purpose: To systematically review the current data to identify the best site for extra-oral implant placement in the orbit. Materials and Methods: Two independent reviewers performed a MEDLINE electronic search using PubMed and Web of Science databases to identify studies published in English from January 2005 until March 2017. A manual search was also performed for additional articles. The met...

ocular involvement is seen in approximately 25% of patients with sarcoidosis. uveitis is the most common ocular manifestation, but sarcoidosis may involve any part of the eye. orbital manifestations of sarcoidosis are uncommon with few series in the literature. a 65-year-old woman presented with redness of the right eye and painless, unilateral eyelid swelling. orbital scanning revealed mass in...

RATIONALE Resorbable materials have been recommended for orbital fractures repair. Many literatures reported the advantages of resorbable materials in clinical applications, but few reports about complications. PATIENT CONCERNS In this study, we encountered a 14-year-old boy treated for the orbital fracture by using resorbable plate, in whom inflammatory foreign body reaction was detected. In...

The main objective to establish a roadmap for management orbital floor fractures.Patients Methods: One hundred seventy-threepatients were selected from database Mansoura UniversityHospitals fractures who treatedat Department Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Departmentov...

Odontogenic myxomas (OM), also called odontogenic fibromyxomas, are rare tumours of the jawbones. They are benign tumours that can be locally invasive and aggressive, but seldom undergo malignant transformation and do not give rise to metastases. They are often asymptomatic and present as painless swelling. We present herein the case of a 24-year-old patient, with an incidental finding of a max...

PURPOSE To determine whether photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) has a significant effect on optic nerve head (ONH) parameters and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured by the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3 (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) in eyes with low to moderate myopia. METHODS This prospective, interventional case series, includes 43 consecuti...

Purpose To describe an orbital myeloid sarcoma in adult presenting with a swollen mass at inferomedial canthal area and epiphora which was misdiagnosed as nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Observations A 45-year-old male presented with a swollen right lower eyelid around medial canthal area for 2 months with tearing for 6 month-period earlier. Eye examination demonstrated a high tear meniscus, s...

Orbital emphysema is typically a benign condition that occurs following forceful injection of air into the orbital soft tissue spaces. In many cases there is a history of trauma and fracture of an orbital bone, which permits air entry. However, other mechanisms of orbital emphysema have been reported including infection, pulmonary barotrauma, injury from compressed-air hoses, and complications ...

A 40-year-old man presented with bradycardia, left eye pain, and intermittent nausea 1 day after blunt trauma to the left orbit. Imaging revealed a large orbital floor fracture with significant herniation of orbital contents but no obvious extraocualar muscle entrapment. Oculocardiac reflex was suspected, and the fracture was repaired surgically within 24 hours of presentation. His bradycardia ...
