AIMS To evaluate whether determination of the central retinal artery and vein collapse pressure correlate with systemic blood pressure measurements, using a new Goldmann contact lens associated ophthalmodynamometric device METHODS The prospective clinical study included 92 eyes of 92 patients presenting with cataract or refractive problems (n = 40; control study group) or with retinal and orb...

Chronic orbital inflammatory disease (COID) is usually considered non-infectious and idiopathic. Treatment is empirical, palliative, and may not prevent disease progression. COID occurs in isolation or in association with various systemic diseases. Exophthalmos may be an important presenting sign. Vasculitis, lymphoid infiltrates, and granulomas are common. Mollicute-like organisms (MLO) parasi...

PURPOSE To identify pluripotential stem cells from human orbital adipose depots. METHODS Pluripotential adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from human orbital adipose during routine blepharoplasty surgery. Fresh adipose tissue was separated in nasal fat and central (preaponeurotic) fat. Individual adipose depots were minced, enzymatically digested, and plated on plastic culture dishes. A...

BACKGROUND MALT lymphomas were classified for differential diagnostics of IgG4-dependent disease due to their exceptional predilection to intraorbital localization. Therefore, the goal of our studies was large retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with MALT lymphomas within the orbital tissues, since no such studies have been conducted in Poland. MATERIAL/METHODS The starting study pop...

orbital fat adherence syndrome is a known complication of strabismus, orbital and scleral buckling surgery or orbital trauma which induces a restrictive strabismus. in this case presentation we introduce a surgical method of globe slinging using temporalis fascia for correction of restrictive esotropia due to fat adherence syndrome. in our review of literature we found no report of a similar pr...
