Trends in Demographic, Clinical, Socioeconomic, and Facility-Specific Factors Linked to Eyelid Melanoma Survival: A National Cancer Database Analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze demographic, clinical, socioeconomic, and facility-specific factors affecting the survival outcomes of patients diagnosed with eyelid melanoma (EM) between 2004 and 2017 using data from the National Cancer Database.

Methods: Cases of EM diagnosed between 2004 and 2017 were identified using the National Cancer Database. Patient demographic data, tumor stage (American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM classification), treatment modalities, and socioeconomic variables were collected.

Risk of Blindness From Temple Filler Injections: Investigating Vascular Anastomoses Between the Deep Temporal and Ophthalmic Arteries.

Purpose: Soft-tissue filler injections, particularly hyaluronic acid, are popular for temple volume restoration. Although uncommon, this area poses risk for vision loss from embolic occlusion. Guidelines recommend injecting into the supraperiosteal plane for safety; however, the deep temporal arteries (DTAs) in this plane pose a risk.

Survival Outcomes of 997 Patients With Eyelid Sebaceous Carcinoma in the National Cancer Database.

Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the survival of patients with sebaceous carcinoma (SC) of the eyelids according to demographics and other variables.

Methods: Patients with SC of the eyelids from 2004 to 2017 were identified in the National Cancer Database. Demographic and clinical covariates were assessed.

A Rare Case of Solitary Fibrous Tumor Involving the Nasolacrimal Duct System in a 12-Year-Old Female: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

We report the youngest case of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) with extensive involvement of the nasolacrimal duct system and discuss current literature regarding this tumor type. A 12-year-old female presented with a 6-month history of an enlarging right medial orbit mass. CT orbits revealed a well-circumscribed, enhancing lesion adjacent to the right nasolacrimal system.

A Proposed Protocol for the Acute Management of Palpebro-Orbital Myiasis: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Periocular and orbital myiasis are rare, vision-threatening conditions characterized by the infestation of dipterous fly larvae into periorbital and orbital tissues. While it has been primarily reported in tropical and subtropical regions where the climate is ideal for fly larval breeding, any patient with inadequate wound care regardless of geography may be predisposed. Infestations can progress rapidly over the course of several days with significant risk of life-threatening intracranial extension.

Factors associated with pediatric silicone rod frontalis sling exposure or infection: single-institution experience of 193 eyelids.

Purpose: To determine the pre-operative, peri-operative, or post-operative risk factors that contribute to pediatric frontalis sling infection or exposure.

Methods: Retrospective study of 193 eyelids that underwent silicone-rod frontalis sling surgery at a single institution between 2014 and 2019.

Results: A total of 222 eyelids were originally identified.

Nontraumatic orbital hematoma secondary to labor and childbirth: a case report and review of the literature.

Purpose: Non-traumatic orbital hemorrhage without underlying vascular malformations or predisposing conditions is uncommon, and particularly rare in the context of maternal labor. This study combines a novel case report and retrospective review to analyze reported cases and propose insights.

Methods: This study is both a unique case report and literature review examining PubMed publications with articles traced back to original sources through citations for inclusion.

Infection of a Nylon Foil Orbital Implant Due to Fusarium brachygibbosum and Lomentospora prolificans After Intranasal Methamphetamine Use.

The authors describe a case of nylon foil implant infection caused by Fusarium brachygibbosum , and Lomentospora prolificans following medial orbital wall fracture repair in the setting of postoperative nasal methamphetamine use. A 61-year-old male presented with OS pain and swelling after a physical assault on his face. A CT of maxillofacial bones without contrast showed a moderately comminuted fracture of the medial wall of the left orbit with depression of fracture fragments into the left ethmoid air cells.

Reconstruction of Large Full-Thickness Lower Eyelid Defects With Remnant Eyelid Rotation, Semicircular Skin and Muscle Flap, and Lateral Tarsoconjunctival Flap.

Purpose: To describe and assess the results of reconstruction of large, full-thickness defects of the central or medial lower eyelid using a semicircular skin flap, rotation of the remnant lateral eyelid, and a lateral tarsoconjunctival flap.

Methods: The surgical approach is described, and the authors performed a retrospective chart review of consecutive patients between 2017 and 2023 reconstructed with this technique. Outcomes were assessed for size of eyelid defect, vision, subjective symptoms, facial and palpebral aperture symmetry, eyelid position and closure, corneal examination, surgical complications, and need for subsequent surgical intervention.

Metastatic Epithelioid Sarcoma of the Eyelid in a 47-Year-Old Man: A Case Report.

Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of uncertain differentiation that typically affects the distal extremities. Primary orbital epithelioid sarcoma is rare, and no reports exist characterizing metastases of this tumor to the orbit and ocular adnexa. In this article, the authors describe a rare case of eyelid metastasis in a 47-year-old man with epithelioid sarcoma of the right fibula diagnosed 16 months earlier who was otherwise doing well on the adjuvant tazemetostat therapy.

Kimura Disease of the Periorbita and Earlobe in a 15-Year-Old Male: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Purpose: The authors describe a case of Kimura disease (KD) affecting the lacrimal gland, the ipsilateral periorbita, and the contralateral earlobe. The authors also review the literature for characteristics and outcomes of KD affecting the periorbita or earlobe.

Methods: The authors review retrospectively a single chart and abstract data from the English language literature.

Pediatric Bartonella henselae neuroretinitis masking co-infections.

Purpose: Neuroretinitis (NR) is an inflammatory disorder that presents with painless vision loss due to optic disc edema, peripapillary detachment, and macular lipid exudation. We report the first two documented cases of co-infections of pediatric NR due to Bartonella henselae with HSV and Toxocara cati, respectively.

Observations: A 10-year-old female with acute right-sided facial droop, right eye pain, and acute visual loss of the right eye is diagnosed with co-infection of Bartonella and HSV retinitis and is successfully treated with acyclovir, rifampin, and doxycycline.

Bilateral orbital inflammation in a 6-month old with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A 6-month-old female presented with bilateral periorbital edema for 7 days. Laboratory testing was significant for active SARS-CoV-2 infection. Neuroimaging demonstrated soft tissue changes within the bilateral orbits and enlargement of the bilateral lacrimal glands.

Bilateral acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction secondary to amyloidosis in a 15-year-old.

A 15-year-old boy who presented with a 1-week history of increasing erythema, edema, and tenderness of the right upper and lower eyelids was found to have acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) secondary to primary amyloidosis. To our knowledge, this is the youngest case of bilateral NLDO secondary to primary amyloidosis (biopsy proven for right NLDO and presumed for left NLDO) reported in the literature. This case highlights the importance of lacrimal sac biopsy in patients with acquired NLDO of unclear etiology.

Optic nerve biopsy in leukemic infiltrative optic neuropathy: a case report and review of the literature.

Optic nerve infiltration is a rare but known complication of the central nervous system (CNS)-involving lymphoma and leukemic disorders. The diagnosis is often presumed and patients are empirically treated with systemic therapy and/or local radiation. Optic nerve biopsy is usually avoided due to the risk of permanent vision loss secondary to the procedure.

Ophthalmic changes in patients with hemifacial atrophy (Parry-Romberg syndrome).

Purpose: Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare condition characterized by progressive, unilateral facial atrophy. We hypothesize that patients with this condition may have involvement of the ocular structures. Here, we report our ophthalmic, clinical and anatomical findings in an observational study of six patients with long-standing PRS.
