PURPOSE To present a previously unreported avulsion-type injury of the rectus muscle, usually the inferior rectus, and detail its diagnosis and operative repair. METHODS Thirty-five patients underwent repair of flap tears of 42 rectus muscles. The muscle abnormality was often subtle, with narrowing or thinning of the remaining attached global layer of muscle. The detached flap of external (or...

blow out fracture is a common disease in oculoplastics clinics. one of indication for surgical intervention is entrapment of inferior rectus muscle in the fractured site. in this article authors represent two cases with this disease who underwent surgery for the entrapment of perimuscular fascia without inferior rectus muscle involvement. the results of treatment in both cases were excellent. t...

introduction: fractures of the orbital floor, which are caused by various mechanisms, result in the herniation of periorbital tissue into the paranasal sinuses and its subsequent complications. early diagnosis using various techniques and reduction of fractures are necessary to preserve ocular function and esthetic. use of an endoscope has been associated with some advantages, including a decre...

purpose: to report a case of enophthalmos secondary to complete globe dislocation into the maxillary sinus due to orbital fracture. patient and findings: an 18-year-old man was referred to labafinejad hospital, one week after a car accident. at initial examination, the globe was not seen within the right orbit. a large floor fracture and globe luxation into the right maxillary sinus were confir...

grave’s disease is a clinical syndrome consisting of hypermetabolism, diffuse thyroid enlargement and exophthalmos. which has ocular complications. due to the high incidence of these complications and the risk of blindness special attention is needed. many therapeutic methods including medical surgical and radiotherapy for ocular complications are suggested. in cases of medical therapy failure,...

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...

A 42-year-old woman presented with loss of vision and progressive proptosis in her right eye from one year before. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/30 and 20/20 in her right and left eyes, respectively. A mild relative afferent pupillary defect existed on the right side. Exophthalmometric readings were 27 and 20 mm in the right and left eyes, respectively with no ocular deviation or restrict...

purpose: to determine the normal values of bony inter- and intra-orbital distances in an iranian adult population by orbital ct scan. methods: the study was conducted on all adults who were referred to farabi eye hospital from march 2003 to june 2005 for ct scan ordered for complaints unrelated to craniofacial or orbital abnormalities. patients were excluded in the presence of any pathology of ...

Abstract Theoretical absorption oscillator strengths and wavelengths for rotational transitions of the C 2 Π( v ′ = 0)- X ″) bands with ″ 0–6 nitric oxide are reported. The Molecular Quantum Defect Orbital method has been used in calculations known interaction between 0) Rydberg B Π ( 7) valence states dealt through an appropriate rovibronic energy matrix. We hope that reported data may be usef...
