Purpose: Acute postoperative endophthalmitis (APE) is a rare but severe complication of cataract surgery. During the most recent decades, the use of povidone-iodine (PVI) before surgery combined with intracameral cefuroxime has drastically reduced the incidence of endophthalmitis. The goal of this study is to describe the changes in endophthalmitis rates after cataract surgery over the past two decades in a large tertiary ophthalmology center.

- A 52-year-old woman developed periorbital necrotizing cellulitis two days after undergoing bilateral cosmetic lower blepharoplasty, leading to complications like ocular hypertension and decreased visual acuity.* -
- Diagnosis was confirmed with MRI, and treatment involved intravenous antibiotics, corticosteroids, and drainage surgery, revealing a pathogen resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics.* -
- This case is notable as it is the first reported instance of necrotizing cellulitis after blepharoplasty caused by a less virulent pathogen, differing from the previous six cases documented in literature.*
Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare borderline mesenchymal tumor typically arising in the pleura and involving the orbit as its most common extra-pleural location.
Case Description: We herein describe two cases of orbital SFT arising in both a 69-year-old woman presenting with progressive proptosis of the left eye and a 49-year-old woman presenting with binocular diplopia. The diagnoses relied on histopathological analysis of biopsy samples.
We report a patient with isolated ptosis secondary to orbital metastasis but no evidence of a neoplastic process on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 69-year-old male was referred to our hospital with ptosis of the right upper eyelid and secondary frontalis muscle overaction on the left side for six months. The palpebral fissure was 3mm on the right and 16mm on the left, and levator function was 6mm and 19mm respectively.

Materials And Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, observational, epidemiological study. We included all visits in the emergency eye care unit of the Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Center, Paris, France, from March 17, 2020 to April 30, 2020, and a corresponding time period in 2016.
