BACKGROUND To date, periorbital melanosis is an ill-defined entity. The condition has been stated to be darkening of the skin around the eyes, dark circles, infraorbital darkening and so on. AIMS This study was aimed at exploring the nature of pigmentation in periorbital melanosis. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients of periorbital melanosis were examined and investigated to define per...

Describe the cause, pathophysiology, and management of periorbital and orbital cellulitis. 3. Understand the importance of sinus disease in both periorbital and orbital cellulitis. 4. Know the indications for computed tomography scan and specialist consultation fo...

Pilomatricoma, although rare, is the second most frequent benign skin tumor in childhood. It is a hard, painless, slowly progressing subcutaneous tumor that is commonly located in the head-neck region, especially periorbital, and in the upper extremities. Histopathologic characteristics are distinctive. In this study, we performed a retrospective review of the records of our pediatric patients ...

A 30-year-old Chinese female presented with progressive periorbital swelling of unknown cause and redness of her left eye. She was given an antibiotic eyedrop and oral cloxacillin to treat periorbital cellulitis. The clinical picture did not improve and she returned with swelling of the fellow eye. We stopped the medication and sent her to a dermatologist because of the abnormal periorbital ski...

The pathological findings of drowning are variable and non-specific. Petechial hemorrhages involving the periorbital region and the conjunctiva have been described in many causes of death, but are thought to be exceedingly uncommon in cases of drowning. However, such studies have not specifically addressed the pediatric population. The current study retrospectively examined 79 cases of accident...

Syringoma is a benign tumor of eccrine origin which arises from eccrine ducts. Syringomas are most commonly found on the eyelids in middle-aged women. Traditional treatments include surgical excision, curettage, peelings, dermabrasion and laser. We report on the successful use of fractional laser on periocular syringomas. A 53-year-old female patient with multiple periorbital syringomas underwe...

BACKGROUND Recurrent periorbital tumors pose management challenges because they are often unresectable and chemorefractory. Proximity to critical structures renders reirradiation difficult. With image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT), real-time corrections to patient setup are possible, enabling significant shrinkage of planning target volume margins and safe dose escalati...

background: postoperative periorbital edema and ecchymosis are common after rhinoplasty. we studied the effect of local injection of lidocaine/adrenaline immediately before osteotomy on prevention of post-operative periorbital edema and ecchymosis in rhinoplasty. m aterials and methods: thirty healthy candidates for rhinoplasty were enrolled in the self-controlled clinical trial study. lidocain...
