Infantile inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the orbit with apical bone involvement.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the orbit are uncommon lesions with unique histopathological features and uncertain pathogenesis. The authors report a case of an 8-month-old male infant who presented with approximately a 5-week history of left upper eyelid painless swelling that progressively grew in size. The patient underwent surgical debulking of the superior orbital mass through an upper eyelid crease incision.

Surgical management of acquired socket contracture.

Purpose Of Review: In a cosmetically oriented world, the inability to retain an ocular prosthesis remains a psychologically devastating problem for patients. This study reviews the recent advances in the management of acquired socket contracture.

Recent Findings: For mild contracture, several recent studies describe the beneficial use of amniotic membrane as a substrate graft to allow the conjunctival epithelium to migrate and multiply.
