Orbital fractures commonly occur in maxillofacial trauma causing enophthalmos and diplopia. The isolated orbital fl oor fracture often called as blow out fracture is a common presentation following blunt trauma. The fl oor fractures may also occur in combination with zygomatic arch fractures, Le Fort II or III or with frac ture of other orbital bones. The cosmetic and functional problems can vi...

We describe a 23-year-old woman with iridocyclitis, enophthalmos, facial hemiatrophy, and transient numbness of her contralateral upper and lower extremities. The patient was found to have white matter densities in the right hemisphere in magnetic resonance T2-weighted images and vascular malformations involving right vertebral, right carotid, and right anterior cerebral arteries. Histopatholog...

Seven cases of idiopathic Horner's Syndrome in the Collie are described. Five males and two females presented with unilateral miosis, ptosis of the upper eyelid, enophthalmos and protrusion of the third eyelid. Thorough examination, pharmacological testing with phenylephrine, complete blood counts and radiography of the tympanic bullae and thorax were performed. The etiology was not identified ...

Ipsilateral invasion of the cervical sympathetic plexus, leading to Horner's syndrome (miosis, enophthalmos, ptosis) in 14-50% of patients [2] . Ipsilateral reflex sympathetic dystrophy in the arm, with enhanced sensitivity to touch, and skin changes. Shoulder and arm pain (from the brachial plexus invasion C8-T1) with wasting of the intrinsic hand muscles and paraesthesiae in the medial side o...

Horner's syndrome is characterized by a combination of ipsilateral miosis, blepharoptosis, enophthalmos, facial anhidrosis, and iris heterochromia in existence of congenital lesions. The syndrome results from a disruption of the ipsilateral sympathetic innervation of the eye and ocular adnexa at different levels. Though rare, thyroid and neck surgery could be considered as possible causes of th...

Examination.-The visual acuity was 6/9 in each eye. Refraction under atropine revealed slight hypermetropia. Both fundi were normal. The movements of the eyes were full and the eyes were orthophoric on cover test. The action of the left superior rectus was normal. The child was attempting to correct the lid deformity by elevating the eyebrow. There was no evidence of jawwinking (Marcus Gunn phe...
