Introduction: To present a series of patients with bisphosphonate induced orbital inflammation, and to review the clinical presentation, radiological features, treatment options and outcomes.
Methods: We present a multicentre, retrospective case series review of patients with a clinico-radiological diagnosis of bisphosphonate induced orbital inflammation and review all the reported cases of this complication in the literature.
Results: Four new patients with bisphosphonate induced orbital inflammation were added to the 25 cases in the literature.
Background: We present a series of patients with acute suppurative bacterial dacryoadenitis and review the clinical presentation, microbiology, treatment options and outcome.
Methods: A multicentre, retrospective, case series review of patients with a clinical diagnosis of acute bacterial suppurative dacryoadenitis (ASBD). Records were examined to obtain information regarding patient demographics, presenting symptoms and signs, radiology, microbiology, management, outcomes and follow-up.
Background: Invasive fungal sinusitis is a rare condition that usually occurs in immunocompromised patients and often presents as an orbital apex syndrome. It is frequently misdiagnosed on presentation and is almost always lethal without early treatment.
Design: Retrospective case series of 14 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven invasive fungal sinusitis from four tertiary hospitals.
