INTRODUCTION The orbital manifestations of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) are uncommon. OBJECTIVE To provide a review of orbital manifestations of AIDS, the predisposing factors, investigations, treatment and outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Meticulous and systematic literature search of Pubmed to identify manuscripts describing orbital manifestations of AIDS was done and the articl...

Early closure of cranial sutures results in various types of cranial vault deformities, named craniosynostosis. Although mostly associated with syndromic cases, bony orbit deformities such as exorbitism can be seen with various types of craniosynostosis. This condition can be associated with papilledema and besides its effect on the patient's appearance can cause subluxation of the globe, lagop...

PURPOSE To compare the tibial tubercle to trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance and index using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between children with onetime and recurrent patellar dislocation. METHODS Records of first-time acute patellar dislocations from 2007 to 2012 were reviewed. 20 males and 23 females aged 10 to 17 years at presentation were included for measurements of the bony and cartil...

.m ed kn ow A 49-year-old female was operated for left lateral orbital wall fibrous dysplasia 12 years back. The patient was having a relatively uneventful course till four months back when she started to have headache and noticed a swelling in the scalp which gradually increased in size over a period of time. On examination she had a mild proptosis of the left eye with a normal vision. There w...

OBJECTIVE To explore the usefulness of 320-slice CT angiography (CTA) for evaluating the course of the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) and its relationship with adjacent structures by using three-dimensional (3D) spin digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as standard reference. MATERIALS AND METHODS From December 2008 to December 2010, 32 patients with cerebrovascular disease, who underwent b...

A 37-year-old previously healthy man presented with a localized headache and a progressive enlarging mass in the left frontal area for more than 8 months. He also reported a history of head injury in the same area sustained two years before. On physical examination, the mass (about 28 mm in diameter) was hard to pressure with freely mobile skin above the lesion in the left frontal sus-orbital r...

Electron correlations in molecules can be divided in short range dynamical correlations, long range Van der Waals type interactions, and near degeneracy static correlations. In this work, we analyze for a one-dimensional model of a two-electron system how these three types of correlations can be incorporated in a simple wave function of restricted functional form consisting of an orbital produc...

Don't be square! A rare S(4) (2-) rectangle bridging two M(2)Cp(2)(mu(2)-CH(2))(2) (M=Rh, Ir) fragments is found to contain two "half-bonds" with S-S distances of 2.70 or 2.90 A. Computational studies explore the connection between these "half-bonds" and a Jahn-Teller distortion, as well as possible intermediates that form M(4)S(4) (2+) clusters having the S(4) (2-) rectangle rotated by 90 degr...

Intricate resection and complex reconstructive procedures often required for primary and metastatic orbital tumors are facilitated by accurate imaging. A three-dimensional (3D) image can be reconstructed from source axial multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images to visualize orbital tumors. To assess the utility of 3D images in this setting, the 3D images were reconstructed retrospective...

Fifteen patients with orbital neoplasms demonstrated by CT were studied with magnetic resonance (MR) using a 13 cm surface coil and a 0.6 T superconducting magnet. The use of a surface coil allowed for a reduction in slice thickness and a significant improvement in spatial resolution resulting in better demonstration and improved characterization of orbital lesions. All neoplasms (15/15) were d...
