Childhood proliferative fasciitis of the orbit mimicking sarcoma: a case report.

Proliferative fasciitis (PF) is a benign fibroblastic reaction with histological and clinical characteristics that overlap with those of malignant soft tissue tumors; thus, it is referred to as a pseudosarcomatous reaction. It continues to be an important cause of diagnostic error and overtreatment. The childhood PF subtype has some distinct histological and immunohistochemical characteristics that make differential diagnosis with malignant tumors even harder, especially with sarcoma.

Nerve Sheath Myxoma Involving the Medial Rectus Muscle: A Case Report.

A 63-year-old man reported a 2-year history of painless OS proptosis. The first MRI, performed in the institution of origin, resulted in a diagnosis of hemangioma versus orbital pseudotumor. Examination revealed proptosis and mild chemosis.

Effect of topical Phenylephrine on the upper eyelid crease position.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of Phenylephrine test on the upper eyelid crease position.

Material And Methods: This study follows a prospective and analytical design and included patients with unilateral acquired involutional ptosis recruited between January 2015 and January 2018. In the Phenylephrine test, 1 drop of Phenylephrine 10% was instilled on the inferior fornix of the ptotic eye and the eyelid crease position was evaluated 10 min after.

Reconstructive subperiosteal midface lift: A three nonvisible incision approach.

This article describes our surgical technique for subperiosteal midface elevation in patients with paralytic lower eyelid malposition or cicatricial inferior eyelid retraction. Nineteen patients with paralytic lower eyelid malposition and 15 patients with cicatricial inferior eyelid retraction underwent a subperiosteal midface lift (n = 34). The procedure was performed under local anesthesia through three nonvisible incisions.

External dacryocystorhinostomy and transnasal canthopexy: new details of combined surgery.

Purpose: To describe the authors' modified combined surgical technique for external dacryocystorhinostomy and transnasal canthopexy.

Methods: A retrospective medical record review was performed including patients with late posttraumatic telecanthus and nasolacrimal duct obstruction treated by their combined dacryocystorhinostomy-transnasal canthopexy technique. In this technique, the bony window is extended superiorly and posteriorly further than in standard dacryocystorhinostomy, to allow pulling the canthus though the window, but at the same time not disturbing the suture of the dacryocystorhinostomy anastomosis.

Comparison of toric intraocular lenses and peripheral corneal relaxing incisions to treat astigmatism during cataract surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and spherical IOL implantation with peripheral corneal relaxing incisions to manage astigmatism during phacoemulsification.

Setting: Ophthalmology Service, Hospital Ramón y Cajal, Madrid, Spain.

Design: Prospective randomized comparative case series.
