Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia of the Orbit and Adnexa.

Purpose: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare disorder presenting with solitary or multiple nodules in the dermis or subcutaneous tissues. ALHE shares clinical as well as histopathological characteristics with Kimura disease (KD), but they have been considered to be two distinct entities based on their histological features. Orbital and adnexal involvement in ALHE is rare.

Iatrogenic Injury to Medial Rectus After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is the mainstay of the treatment in sinus disorders, to re-establish the drainage of the affected sinus. The close proximity of the orbital structures to paranasal sinuses makes them vulnerable to inadvertent injury during the sinus surgery. Medial rectus (MR) muscle is the most commonly injured extraocular muscle during ESS due to its anatomic proximity to the thin medial wall of the orbit.

Association between culture results of corneal scrapings and culture and histopathology results of corneal tissues in therapeutic keratoplasty.

Purpose: To correlate the culture results of corneal scrapings with culture and histopathology results of corneal tissues in therapeutic keratoplasty.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the culture results of corneal scrapings and corneal tissues of eyes that received therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty at a tertiary eye care center between December 2006 and November 2008 was conducted. As per the preferred practice, those cases that did not respond to appropriate antimicrobial therapy and/or presented with a large infiltrate/perforation received therapeutic keratoplasty.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in recurrent sebaceous carcinoma of eyelid with orbital invasion and regional lymphadenopathy.

A 35-year-old man presented with a recurrent temporal conjunctival mass (25 × 12 mm) involving about six-clock hours of the limbus in the left eye. The mass encroached onto the temporal half of cornea and showed surface keratin, large intrinsic and feeder vessels. It infiltrated the deep corneal stroma.
