Methods: This observational review includes six cases involving reconstruction of the inferior canaliculus after surgical resection of lower eyelid carcinoma. Following lesion excision with safety margins, the epithelium of the distal portion of the inferior canaliculus is located and intubated with a monocanalicular probe.
Purpose: The aim of this article is to describe a new reconstructive technique of the lower eyelid in the surgery of tumors involving the medial canthal tendon.
Methods: Our new technique consists of detaching and reflecting the most medial portion of the anterior medial canthal tendon and reinserting it into the posterior lamella. We describe the cases in which our technique can be useful, as well as the results we have obtained.
Purpose: To describe a case report of a 34 years-old patient with Crohn's Disease and two episodes of Ocular Myositis.
Methods: The research methodology employed in this study consisted of a retrospective review of the patient's complete medical history.
Results: Crohn's Disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disorder known to be associated with a wide range of extraintestinal manifestations.
