摘要:

PurposeAn unusual case is reported of orbital malignant fibrous histiocytoma that developed after irradiation for retinoblastoma.MethodsCase report.ResultsA 5-month-old girl underwent enucleation of the left eye, external beam irradiation of the right eye, and systemic chemotherapy for bilateral sporadic retinoblastoma. At age 17 years, a malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed in the medial aspect of the orbit and nasal cavity. After attempted excisional biopsy, she underwent craniofacial resection, orbital exenteration, maxillectomy, and tracheostomy. The patient was alive 12 months postoperatively without local or metastatic disease.ConclusionsAlthough orbital fibrous histiocytoma occurs usually as a primary tumor of adulthood, it can also develop as a secondary tumor after irradiation for retinoblastoma.

摘要:

PurposeTo describe the successful management of rhino-orbital mucormycosis without the use of orbital exenteration.MethodCase report.ResultsThe patient had successful eradication of the fungal infection with retention of normal vision and ocular function.ConclusionsThe use of multiple treatment modalities including aggressive surgical debridement guided by intraoperative frozen section monitoring, intravenous liposomal amphotericin B, intraorbital regular amphotericin B and hyperbaric oxygen may allow complete resolution of orbital phycomycosis and spare the patient from the blindness and disfigurement associated with exenteration.

摘要:

PurposeTo describe the use of an endovascular therapeutic technique in the management of a giant carotid cavernous aneurysm.MethodsWe reviewed the clinical and neuroradiologic findings of a patient with an unusual case of carotid cavernous aneurysm and intraorbital rupture. The medical literature was searched for similar cases and to review the use of endovascular techniques.ResultsThe patient was treated by balloon occlusion of the left internal carotid artery.ConclusionsEndovascular techniques can be used to treat complex giant cranioorbital cavernous aneurysms.

摘要:

PurposeA case of sudoriferous cyst of the orbit in an adult patient is reported. This unusual cyst in the orbit has heretofore been reported only in congenital cases.MethodsCase report.ResultsA 45-year-old woman sought treatment for an asymptomatic mass of the left lower eyelid. Computed tomography of the orbits showed a cystic lesion in the inferior orbit with bony remodeling. Histopathologic examination showed the lesion to be a solitary cyst lined by two to three layers of cuboidal epithelial cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. Some of the epithelial cells contained periodic acid–Schiff-positive, diastase-resistant granules. The pathologic diagnosis was a sudoriferous cyst.ConclusionSudoriferous cysts, although uncommon, should be included in the differential diagnosis of orbital cystic tumors.
