Large extraocular extension of a choroidal melanoma with orbital inflammation.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
September 2023
Article Synopsis
- A 69-year-old woman experienced symptoms like eyelid swelling, eye pain, and double vision, leading to an MRI that showed a mass behind her eye indicative of choroidal melanoma with significant extraocular growth.
- After treatment with corticosteroids, an MRI revealed some reduction in the mass, but further testing showed insufficient results for a definitive diagnosis.
- Next generation sequencing confirmed mutations associated with uveal melanoma, guiding the decision for enucleation despite previous diagnostic challenges.
Blue Rubber Bleb Nevus Syndrome Manifesting as an Isolated Congenital Orbital Mass in a Neonate.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
July 2022
A male neonate presented with an isolated congenital right orbital vascular malformation without other mucocutaneous lesions or signs/symptoms of systemic disease. The orbital mass was progressive, causing amblyogenic ptosis by 6 months of age. Over 11 years, the patient underwent 4 orbital mass resections, 3 embolizations, and even a craniotomy with mass resection for an intraorbital meningoencephalocele secondary to orbital bony erosion.

Perioperative Prophylactic Antibiotics in 1,250 Orbital Surgeries.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
March 2021
Purpose: Intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis is used for many clean-contaminated surgeries or clean surgeries with an implant, but its value for clean orbital surgery has not been determined. This study investigated infection risks and adverse effects related to antibiotics in patients undergoing orbital surgery.
Methods: A prospective, nonrandomized comparative case series of all patients undergoing orbital surgery with participating surgeons between October 1, 2013, and March 1, 2015.
