摘要:

Dermal tattooing has been performed for over 4,000 years. Some of the reported complications from tattooing include pyogenic infections, viral hepatitis, syphilis, tuberculosis cutis, rubella, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, psoriasis, lichen planus, lupus, pigment allergy and sensitivity, keloids, sarcoidal granulomas, erythema multiforme, malignant melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. Most complications can be avoided by utilizing proper aseptic technique and avoiding exotic pigments.A survey of the members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was taken to determine the prevalence of eyelid tattooing and complications encountered. The findings of this survey are presented.

摘要:

The feasibility of using dermis in socket reconstruction is explored in the rabbit. The results indicate that dermis may be a suitable source of graft material where mucous membrane replacement is needed. Histological sections of the grafts are provided and are contrasted with scleral grafts, a substance whose behavior in socket surgery has been studied previously. A clinical case is presented also of a patient with a severely contracted anophthalmic socket who was reconstructed successfully with a dermis graft.

摘要:

With the advent of the antibiotic era, the incidence of osteomyelitis has decreased remarkably. However, cases of trauma-induced orbital cellulitis, abscess, fistula formation, and osteomyelitis may still occur. The following case is illustrative of the chronicity of problems (8-year course) caused by retained orbital wooden foreign bodies.

摘要:

A 56-year-old woman presented with proptosis of the left eye for over 1 year. The clinical presentation and computerized tomographic scan findings were consistent with a benign mixed lacrimal gland tumor. An extensive excision of the tumor was planned through a lateral orbitotomy with bone flap. After construction of the bone flap, the clinical appearance of the tumor was not consistent with a benign mixed lacrimal gland tumor. Frozen section pathology was interpreted as cavernous hemangioma. A simple excision of the tumor with preservation of the lacrimal gland was performed. It is emphasized that benign mixed lacrimal gland tumors require extensive excision to prevent recurrence. However, other tumors may have a similar clinical presentation, as in this case, and the surgeon must consider this possibility prior to performing radical surgery.

摘要:

Conjunctivochalasis is an isolated bilateral condition in which redundant conjunctival tissue overlies the lower eyelid margin or covers the lower punctum. It causes tearing by mechanically disrupting the normal flow of tears. Unlike the boggy conjunctiva seen in an allergic reaction, the extent of this redundant tissue is small, well-localized, and unresponsive to antihistamine drops. During the 40-month period from May 1981 through September 1984, 15 patients complaining of epiphora were found to have this problem. Simple local surgical excision relieved their symptoms. Follow-up period ranged from 10 to 40 months, with an average of 27 months. Conjunctivochalasis can be recognized by a thorough ocular examination and managed by simple excision of the redundant tissue. Consequently, before extensive surgery such as dacryocystorhinostomy, eyelid surgery, or silicone intubation of the lacrimal system is contemplated, Conjunctivochalasis should be ruled out and corrected.

摘要:

We evaluated the need for additional lubrication in 200 consecutive patients using an ocular prosthesis. Of these patients, 154 (77%) required no additional lubrication, while 46 patients (23%) required supplemental lubrication. Enuclene, the only product manufactured specifically for the patient with an ocular prosthesis, has been reported by the majority of our patients to be inadequate for comfort and wearability. Other solutions for contact lens use were compared with Enuclene and found to be far superior by patients using an ocular prosthesis.

摘要:

Prolapse of conjuctiva from the superior cul-de-sac, an infrequent complication of levator resection surgery, has been observed by us to have occurred following craniofacial reconstruction for craniostenosis. Three cases of conjunctival prolapse are presented: two that followed maximal external levator resections, and one that occurred after a supraorbital rim advancement and a subsequent cerebrospinal fluid leak. The causes of conjuctival prolapse and its appropriate treatment are reviewed.
