Lower Eyelid Contour in Graves Orbitopathy.

: The aim of the present study was to analyze quantitively the lower lid contour of patients with Graves orbitopathy.: Bézier curves were manually adjusted to the ciliated and nasal (or lacrimal) portions of the lower lid contour of 41 patients with Graves orbitopathy and 43 normal subjects using National Institute of Health (NIH) ImageJ software. Considering the main coordinates of the Bézier functions, the Matlab software was employed to express the lid contours with 1000 points.

Globe Protrusion and Interorbital Divergence in Syndromic Faciocraniosynostoses.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to quantify the relationship between globe protrusion (GP), length of medial and lateral walls, interzygomatic distance, and interorbital angle in syndromic faciocraniosynostoses.

Methods: The axial slices of computed tomography of the orbits of 43 patients with faciocraniosynostosis (31 with Crouzon syndrome and 12 with Apert syndrome) and 23 control subjects were measured with the Image J software. The following 5 variables were quantified: the degree of GP, the length of the medial and lateral walls, the interzygomatic distance, and the interorbital angle.

Lateral and medial upper eyelid contour abnormalities in graves orbitopathy: the influence of the degree of retraction.

Purpose: To determine the location of contour abnormalities in Graves upper eyelid retraction.

Methods: Multiple midpupil angular eyelid distances of 75 upper eyelids of 55 patients (mean age = 41.7 ± 13.

Orbital invasion by squamous cell carcinoma arising in multiple epidermoid cysts.

Epidermal or epidermoid cysts usually are benign, solitary-growing masses located in the mid- or lower dermis. They are believed to derive from pilosebaceous units and are lined with an epidermis-like epithelium including a granular cell layer. The occurrence of multiple epidermal cysts on the scalp of nonsyndromic patients is extremely rare.

Retinal vasculitis in Susac syndrome: case report.

A 29 year old male was admitted at the emergency room suffering from gradually worsening headache followed by nausea. In the hospital patient presented with lethargy, reduction of consciousness level and bilateral hypoacusis. Ophthalmic examination and fluorescein angiography showed retinal vasculitis.
