Purpose: In recent years, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) orbital cellulitis (OC) has drawn increasing clinical and public health concern. We present a case series of MRSA OC encountered at four Australian tertiary institutions.
Methods: A multi-centre retrospective case series investigating MRSA OC in Australia from 2013 to 2022.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study was presented where a patient had thrombosis affecting the IJV, cavernous sinuses, and superior ophthalmic veins, along with necrotic lymph nodes, leading to complications like orbital compartment syndrome.
- * It emphasizes the need for comprehensive investigations when spontaneous IJV thrombosis occurs without obvious causes and highlights the importance of monitoring for complications in patients with thrombotic issues in the orbital venous drainage system.
Purpose: Porous orbital implants are commonly used materials following enucleation or evisceration. Implant-associated inflammation is a rare but serious complication which may necessitate explantation.
Observations: We report a case of a patient who developed extensive orbital inflammation six months after implantation of a vicryl (polyglactin 910) mesh-wrapped Bioceramic (aluminum oxide) spherical implant.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to describe the radiological features of different subtypes of orbital lymphoma through a multi-center retrospective analysis involving 88 patients in Australia and the U.S.
- The most common lymphoma subtypes identified were extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), with DLBCL linked to several clinical symptoms such as vision changes and pain.
- While no significant radiological differences were found between lymphoma subtypes on imaging, aggressive subtypes (like DLBCL) were more likely to show globe indentation compared to indolent ones.
Diagnostic Utility of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient for Common Orbital Lesions: A Review.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
November 2022
Purpose: To review and summarize the existing literature surrounding the clinical use of diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as diagnostic tools in differentiating common orbital lesions.
Methods: A systematic literature review on the use of ADC and diffusion-weighted imaging sequences for orbital imaging was performed. Only original research articles that reported ADC values for benign or malignant lesions were included.
Optic nerve infiltration secondary to systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a rare phenomenon. We present a 55-year-old man with low-grade systemic NHL who initially presented with an isolated optic neuropathy and non-specific neurological symptoms. We further present a literature review of systemic NHL with radiological evidence of optic nerve infiltration.

Methods: Nationwide study of glaucoma surgery in Australia over 17-year period from 2001 to 2018. The Australian Institute of Health, Welfare and Ageing hospitalisation database was used to review age- and gender-specific trends in glaucoma surgeries from 2001 to 2018 in Australian public and private hospitals.
IgG4-related Disease Presenting as Isolated Cicatrising Conjunctivitis.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
May 2021
A 46-year-old male presented with a 12-month history of trichiasis and was found to have significant, progressive cicatrization of the tarsal conjunctiva causing entropion of the upper and lower eyelids. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of IgG4-related cicatrizing conjunctivitis in the absence of any other organ involvement, a previously unreported manifestation of this immune-mediated disease.
