OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of a new surgical approach in children with acute sinusitis and medial orbital subperiosteal abscess. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary pediatric hospital. PATIENTS Eleven children aged 6 weeks to 13 years with orbital subperiosteal abscess and acute sinusitis who met indication for surgery by visual compromise and/or refractory course to medical ther...

Spin-orbital coupling: The study of orbital degeneracy in transition metal oxides is motivated, e.g., by the large variety of spin-charge-orbital ordered phases, the possible control of the orbital degree of freedom at interfaces and heterostructures, the switching from orbital ordered to metallic phases in applied magnetic fields, and the colossal magnetoresistance. The rather complex interpla...

Background Orbital fractures are classified as diseases usually related to common midface trauma. It represents the most challenging treatment due to the complex anatomy, physiology, and aesthetic role. A midface trauma involves also the zygomatic complex and the nose, however the orbit fracture seems to be a more frequent disease due to its anatomical features. Objective The purpose of this ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to analyze the causes of orbital cellulitis in connection with covert dental changes as well as to establish the role of radiological procedures in the final diagnosis and further treatment of such cases. MATERIAL/METHODS Thirty-two patients, aged 25-56, 22 women and 10 men were diagnosed and treated between January 2007 and April 2011 at the Pomeranian Me...

Orbital tumors constitute a heterogeneous array of lesions and pose numerous challenges in terms of diagnosis, imaging and treatment.1,2 The bony orbit contains an extremely complicated anatomical architecture composed of II, III, IV, VI cranial nerves, vessels, extra ocular muscles and the globe. Schwannoma of cranial nerves represent less than 8% of all intracranial neoplasms usually arising ...

This work describes a series of patients with odontogenic orbital cellulitis (OOC), focusing on rate of abscess formation, need for surgical intervention, and imaging findings helpful for rapid diagnosis. Review of a current case and 22 patients with OOC from the scientific literature demonstrated periapical lucency as the most commonly (36.4%) reported finding on facial and orbital computerize...

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...

to report a case of buphthalmos with neurofibromatosis (nf-1) who suffered with blindness suffered enucleation. physical examination & histopathology were performed. physical examination revealed buphthalmos & vascularized cornea with lower lid ectropion and orbital deformity. histopathologic findings shows plexiform neurofibroma in orbital tissue with scleral wall involvement. and hamartomatou...
