Retrobulbar amphotericin B for rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis
Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) is a rare and often fatal infection usually occurring in immunocompromised patients from diseases such as diabetes, haematological malignancy and solid organ transplantation. Current standards of care include systemic antifungal therapy and debridement, including exenteration. This study...
Risk factors for ocular complications following orbital fractures
In this Japanese retrospective cohort study, the authors examined records of 416 consecutive orbital fracture patients treated over a 10-year period at a single institution. The study identified ocular complications occurring in 9.5% of the cases, with traumatic mydriasis, hyphaemia...Orbital airgun pellet injuries: A paediatric case pair
Airgun injuries to the eye and orbit can be visually devastating. The pellet need not impact the globe directly to cause visual loss, as the cone shaped orbit may funnel the projectile into the orbital apex and optic nerve. We...Periorbital and subconjunctival emphysema - a sign of orbital rim fracture
Background Orbital emphysema is a condition where air is present in orbit or periorbital tissues [1]. It is most commonly caused by trauma leading to orbit fracture, where air from paranasal sinuses is allowed to enter the orbit. The most...
Effects of orbital decompression on duction, cyclotorsion and diplopia
This is a retrospective review of 156 patients (281 eyes / orbits) with Graves Orbitopathy (GO) who had orbital decompression (OD) between 2016 and 2020 from Amsterdam, Netherlands. Data analysis of type of OD, eye position, duction, cyclotorsion and level...
Superior oblique posterior tenotomy for orbital fracture strabismus
The use of superior oblique posterior tenotomy (SOPT) is reported as a primary procedure in five patients with orbital blowout fractures. The mean follow-up was 15.2 months (6-20). Two patients required further surgery because of a larger vertical deviation. SOPT...
Management of strabismus due to orbital wall fractures
The authors present a retrospective single centre review of patients with strabismus due to orbital wall fractures with regard to their clinical presentation and outcomes. The study included 347 patients; 87% male and mean age of 32.42 ±12.9 years. Ten...
Analysis and outcome of explanted hydroxyapatite orbital implants
This is a retrospective case series over 11 years of 25 patients with exposed synthetic hydroxyapatite orbital implants who underwent explantation and simultaneous replacement with a dermis fat graft. All patients had signs of infection and had been treated with...
Features of bacterial orbital cellulitis on MRI imaging
This multi-centre retrospective study from Australia and the UK examined the quantitative and qualitive parameters of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging in bacterial orbital cellulitis. Twenty MRI scans from 20 patients with pre-septal and orbital fat involvement (mean age: 40.8...
Orbital filler for enophthalmos in Parry-Romberg syndrome
This is a retrospective review of three patients with enophthalmos in sighted eyes secondary to Parry-Romberg syndrome. The patients were all female, aged between 24 and 54. All three patients had 4mm of relative enophthalmos prior to treatment. They each...
