Upper Eyelid Necrosis Secondary to Hordeolum: A Case Report.

We reported a case of upper eyelid necrosis initially misdiagnosed as a preseptal cellulitis following a hordeolum externum resulting in great damage to the upper eyelid (anterior lamella). The infection was successfully treated with surgical cleansing, drainage, and endovenous antibiotics. Early treatment may avoid severe complications such as eyelid deformity, systemic involvement, and blindness.

[Decrease of upper eyelid levator muscle function after involutional ptosis and dermatochalasis surgery].

Purpose: To evaluate the differences between upper eyelid levator muscle function (UELMF), margin reflex distance (MDR1), and eyelid crease height (ECH) before and after ptosis and dermatochalasis surgery.

Methods: Forty-four patients with blepharoptosis and dermatochalasis were enrolled.

Intervention: An exploration of the levator tendon (LT) during a blepharoplasty procedure in patients with blepharoptosis and dermatochalasis and in case of its disinsertion, the tendon was reattached to the tarsus.

[Removal of the vertical portion of the lacrimal canaliculus in dry eye syndrome].

Purpose: To demonstrate the efficacy and possible complications of a surgical technique that includes the removal of the vertical portion of the lacrimal canaliculus in patients with dry eye syndrome.

Methods: A study was performed on six canaliculi of six eyes (four patients). Three patients had dry eye, associated with primary Sjögren syndrome.
