Background/aims: Xanthelasma is an unreliable indicator of systemic hyperlipidemia. A review in search of unusual histopathologic features of cellular composition that might correlate with systemic hyperlipidemia was conducted.
Methods: An observational case series of 3 cases was performed.
Purpose: To describe outcomes of globe-preserving surgery combined with high-dose proton beam radiation (PBR) in treating primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the lacrimal gland.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients with primary ACC of the lacrimal gland were identified in the records of a single institution between 1990 and 2017.
Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery in Patients 100 Years and Older.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
December 2019
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the growing number of patients aged 100 and older receiving care from ophthalmic plastic surgeons, filling a gap in existing literature on this demographic.
- A review of patient charts from January 2000 to June 2016 revealed 15 centenarians who underwent surgery, with the majority being female and most presenting urgent surgical issues, primarily related to the eyelids or lacrimal system.
- Results indicated no surgical complications and encouraged further research to optimize care for elderly patients in this field.
Article Synopsis
- A new sensory grading system was introduced to evaluate infraorbital hypesthesia recovery after orbital floor and ZMC fractures in patients between January 2015 and April 2016.
- The study analyzed 62 patients initially, with 42 completing follow-up after approximately 22 months, revealing that nearly half had some hypesthesia, with worse outcomes for ZMC fractures.
- Findings indicated that isolated floor fractures had a better sensory recovery, especially with surgical intervention, while ZMC fractures showed no significant difference in sensory recovery regardless of treatment.
Dynamic Intraductal Meibomian Probing: A Modified Approach to the Treatment of Obstructive Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
September 2017
Purpose: Obstructive meibomian gland dysfunction is a leading cause of ocular morbidity and its treatment remains a challenge. Meibomian gland probing was initially described in 2010. Here, the authors describe a modified technique, dynamic intraductal meibomian probing, which offers several advantages over the traditional approach including increased magnification, greater eyelid stabilization, enhanced anesthesia, and easier identification of gland orifices through the expression of meibum.
