Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) alone versus a combination of TAC and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in treating keloids and hypertrophic scars over 12 weeks.
  • In a randomized trial involving 66 patients, both treatments showed reductions in scar parameters, but the combination therapy demonstrated significantly better results in terms of efficacy, faster response, and fewer complications.
  • The findings suggest that while both treatments are viable, the combination of TAC and 5-FU is more effective and safer than TAC alone; however, the study has limitations such as being conducted at a single center and lacking long-term follow-up.

Introduction: The routine technique of tarso-frontalis suspension surgery for simple congenital blepharoptosis with poor levator action is cosmetically less rewarding due to either an absence or asymmetry of the postoperative eyelid crease. The objective of this study was to assess the eyelid crease quality after a modified open method of tarso-frontalis suspension surgery compared to the closed method.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study reviewing the case sheets of all the patients undergoing unilateral tarso-frontalis suspension surgery with silicon rod employing Fox pentagon design from September 2017 to February 2019 at Mechi Eye Hospital, Jhapa, Nepal.

A congenital cystic eyeball is an extremely rare condition, with only 52 cases reported in the literature to date. An orbital cyst replaces the eyeball which occurs due to the complete or partial failure in invagination of the primary optic vesicle during the fourth week of gestation. We discuss a case of a congenital cystic eyeball in a 14-year-old female who presented to us for a cosmetic blemish due to a large swelling in the right eyelid with the absence of a right eyeball since birth.
