Graves' disease may result in significant proptosis that causes visual loss. This has been traditionally managed surgically by external bony skeleton decompression. Tran nasal endoscopic orbital decompression is as a new technique that avoids the need for cutaneous or gingival incisions. Decompression of the medial orbital wall can be performed up to the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus. Thi...

We report a relatively rare case of an essentially isolated orbital roof "blow-in" fracture in a pediatric patient. A 13-year-old male presented with headache and nausea following blunt facial trauma sustained during a skate boarding accident. CT head revealed soft tissue swelling and an abnormal bony density in the superior, posterior right orbital region. Follow-up CT orbits revealed a commin...

ORBITAL exploration has shown that the commonest causes of unilateral proptosis of unexplained origin are small cavernous haemangiomata and blood cysts in the muscle cone space not extending to the orbital apex (Mortada, 1962a). When orbital exploration reveals no abnormality but is followed by slowly progressive proptosis, repeated skull x rays usually show that the cause is a deep orbital wal...

with bony lesions amenable to pamidronate treatment. Neither had a history of ocular or connective tissue disease. The close temporal relationship between pamidronate infusion and the onset of orbital symptoms in our patients is in agreement with prior reports of pamidronaterelated ocular and orbital inflammation. Rapid response to pamidronate withdrawal and prednisone therapy supports a drug-r...

Frontal sinusitis after middle turbinate resection occurs because of stenosis of the frontal ostium by soft tissue scarring or residual bony fragments (which are pulled to the medial orbital wall by scar contracture). Standard endoscopic techniques cannot address this problem; however, revision endoscopic frontal sinusotomy with mucoperiosteal flap advancement (the frontal sinus rescue procedur...

INTRODUCTION This article reports experience relating to the measurement of orbital volume by means of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and Cranioviewer program software in patients who have undergone enucleation and orbital implantation. PATIENTS AND METHODS CBCT scans were made in 30 cases, 10 of which were later excluded because of various technical problems. The study group therefore ...

Graves' disease may occasionally result in significant proptosis that is either cosmetically unacceptable or causes visual loss. This has traditionally been managed surgically by external decompression of the orbital bony skeleton. Trans-nasal endoscopic orbital decompression is emerging as a new minimally-invasive technique, that avoids the need for cutaneous or gingival incisions. Decompressi...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features of a patient with orbital involvement in cherubism that prompted surgical treatment. DESIGN Single interventional case report. INTERVENTION Findings of the ophthalmic evaluation, computed tomography (CT) scans, intraoperative examination, and light microscopy of the specimens were analyzed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES...
