Comparing the Ability of Google and ChatGPT to Accurately Respond to Oculoplastics-Related Patient Questions and Generate Customized Oculoplastics Patient Education Materials.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy and readability of responses to oculoplastics patient questions provided by Google and ChatGPT. Additionally, to assess the ability of ChatGPT to create customized patient education materials.

Methods: We executed a Google search to identify the 3 most frequently asked patient questions (FAQs) related to 10 oculoplastics conditions.

Intraventricular meningioma resection and visual outcomes.

Objective: Intraventricular meningiomas (IVMs) of the lateral ventricle are rare tumors that present surgical challenges because of their deep location. Visual field deficits (VFDs) are one risk associated with these tumors and their treatment. VFDs may be present preoperatively due to the tumor and mass effect (tumor VFDs) or may develop postoperatively due to the surgical approach (surgical VFDs).

Spontaneous Subperiosteal Orbital Hematoma Associated With Cocaine-Induced Midline Destructive Lesion.

The authors present a case of a non-traumatic, spontaneous subperiosteal orbital hematoma in a woman with a history of chronic pansinusitis and absence of midline nasal cavity structures due to chronic inhalational cocaine use. The patient underwent left orbitotomy and drainage of the lesion, showing mostly blood with a small amount of purulence that grew methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus when cultured. The patient received 4 weeks of intravenous antibiotics in addition to functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
