Eyelid margin is one of the most challenging anatomic regions in human body and eyelid tumors raise special difficulties field periocular surgery based on anatomical, histological aesthetic points view.

To the Editor: We read with great interest the case report titled “Recurrent sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid: Outcome after postoperative reirradiation” authored by Puja Sahai published in the January 2016 issue of Head & Neck. In this case report, “(a) 38-year-old man . . . diagnosed with sebaceous carcinoma of the right lower eyelid” was described. Herein, we seek a correction, in case your...

OBJECTIVE To determine the force requirements, optimal vector, and appropriate materials of a novel eyelid sling device that will be used to rehabilitate eyelid closure (blink) in congenital or acquired permanent facial paralysis with an artificial muscle. METHODS The force required to close the eyelids in human cadavers (n = 6) were measured using a load cell system. The eyelid sling using e...

How Purkinje cell (PC) activity may be altered by learning is central to theories of the cerebellum. Pavlovian eyelid conditioning, because of how directly it engages the cerebellum, has helped reveal many aspects of cerebellar learning and the underlying mechanisms. Theories of cerebellar learning assert that climbing fiber inputs control plasticity at synapses onto PCs, and thus PCs control t...

BACKGROUND Conjunctival myxomas are rare, benign, connective tissue tumours that classically present as slow-growing, painless, well-circumscribed masses (Arch Ophthalmol 124:735-8, 2006; Case Rep Ophthalmol 3:145-50, 2012). There have been 29 cases reported in the literature (Arch Ophthalmol 124:735-8, 2006; Malays J Med Sci 20(1):92-4, 2013; Case Rep Ophthalmol 3:145-50, 2012; Middle East Afr...

BACKGROUND Postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction (PBLER) has been linked to anterior lamellar shortage, unaddressed eyelid laxity, and middle lamellar scarring. The authors believe there are other, less-appreciated physical findings (orbicularis weakness, negative-vector eyelid, and inferior eyelid/orbit volume deficit) that also influence the development and potentially the management of ...

OBJECTIVES To summarize the types and causes of unsatisfactory double eyelid results after double-eyelid blepharoplasty in Asian patients and to explore the corrective methods. METHODS Various methods are used to repair different types of unsatisfactory double-eyelid results following double-eyelid blepharoplasty. The basic principles are that scar adhesions should be released as much as poss...

The development of the eyelid requires coordinated cellular processes of proliferation, cell shape changes, migration and cell death. Mutant mice deficient in the fibroblast growth factor 10 (Fgf10) gene exhibit open-eyelids at birth. To elucidate the roles of FGF10 during eyelid formation, we examined the expression pattern of Fgf10 during eyelid formation and the phenotype of Fgf10-null eyeli...

purpose: to report an extremely rare presentation of isolated orbital xanthogranuloma with no systemic disease, nor dermatologic manifestation. case report: the patient was a 45-year-old man complaining of a mass lesion in the superior and inferior eyelids of his right eye; the lesions had been enlarging slowly and painlessly since 5 years before. other examinations (including skin, heart, etc....
