THE TWO patients described below entered the Neurosurgical Service of the Children's Hospital with bilateral proptosis occurring after a minor head injury. Both of the patients were in fact suffering from reticulosis but the condition had been previously unsuspected. In the first patient evidence of generalized reticulosis was not apparent for some months after the head injury had precipitated ...

simultaneous proptosis and facial palsy as the clinical presentation of childhood acute myeloid leukaemia (aml) is very rare. to date, no case have been reported anywhere to the best of our knowledge. extra medullary leukemic deposits or granulocytic sarcoma (gs) is a rare manifestation in about 3% of childhood aml, 9.3% of gs manifested as orbit deposits causing proptosis in one or both eyes. ...

OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyse causes of childhood proptosis and their investigations and treatment. METHODOLOGY The records of children under 15 years of age presenting with proptosis to The Children's Hospital, Camperdown, Sydney, were reviewed for the period 1983-93 inclusive. RESULTS Fifty-seven cases of proptosis were found. In order of frequency the causes were; orbital cellulit...

PURPOSE To report the treatment and histopathological findings in two cases who developed eyelid swelling, proptosis and diplopia due to orbital and lid lipogranuloma after endoscopic surgery of the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses. METHODS To relieve the proptosis and diplopia, debulking surgery was done on the eyelids and orbit. The tissue removed was sent for histopathological examination. ...

AIM To compare the outcome of various surgical approaches of orbital decompression in patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) receiving surgery for disfiguring proptosis. METHOD Data forms and questionnaires from consecutive, euthyroid patients with inactive GO who had undergone orbital decompression for disfiguring proptosis in 11 European centres were analysed. RESULTS Eighteen different (...

Objectives: To describe the Demographic, clinical and imaging patterns of Proptosis. Study Design: Historic cohort study. Subjects and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical charts and imaging records of 87 patients with Proptosis. A detailed work up of data including age, sex, visual and orbital signs and symptoms was done. Imaging studies including orbital ultrasonography, CT scan ...

Twenty-seven children with unilateral proptosis were investigated over a period of 8 1/2 years. Seventeen (63%) of them had local or disseminated malignancy, a higher proportion than in earlier reports. The frequency of inflammatory lesions, particularly ethmoiditis progressing to proptosis, appeared to have decreased, probably because of the liberal use of antibiotics for upper respiratory tra...

The differential diagnosis of proptosis in African children poses a bewildering number of possibilities (Davies, I968). Many of these cases prove to be due to inflammation of neighbouring sinuses or to invasion of the orbit by parasites or fungi. Orbital tumours causing proptosis occur frequently, and a series of sixty cases of proptosis in childhood caused by neoplasms in the orbit is reviewed...
