[Lacrimal canalicular transposition for lower canaliculus repair: About four cases].

The main function of the eyelids is to support and protect the globe. The lower eyelid and medial canthus are often the location of malignant tumors that can be locally aggressive and require disfiguring surgeries. Chronic epiphora often appears in cases of inadequate reconstruction in this location and can require secondary procedures.

Orbital exenteration and periorbital skin cancers.

Purpose: Orbital exenteration is a disfiguring surgical procedure that requires thoughtful reconstruction.

Patients And Methods: We analyzed all cases of orbital exenteration done in our department since 1998.

Results: A total of 26 patients had undergone surgery during our study period, and 27 exenterations have been conducted since 1998.

[Clinical features and management of acute myositis in idiopathic orbital inflammation].

Acute myositis is the second most common component of non-specific orbital inflammation. We will describe its clinical features and natural history. This is a retrospective study of 10 cases.

Optic Nerve Sheath Meningocele: A Case Report.

Isolated optic nerve sheath meningocele is a rare affection defined as the cystic enlargement of the optic nerve sheath filled with cerebrospinal fluid. We report the case of a 39-year-old woman presenting with bilateral meningocele uncovered during a routine examination for headache complaints. A 5-year follow-up validated the lesion's clinical and imaging stability.

[Histologic risk factors of basal cell carcinoma of the face, about 184 cases].

Background: Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer in humans.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to determine the histologic risk factors involved in recurrence of basal cell carcinomas of the face.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients with primary basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the face treated between March 2003 and December 2005.

Surgical and prosthetic treatment for microphthalmia syndromes.

Our aim was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of prosthetic treatment and orbital expansion in the management of microphthalmia syndromes. We did a retrospective single-centre study of all cases of microphthalmia treated between 1989 and 2010. The patients were divided into three groups: isolated microphthalmia, microphthalmia associated with micro-orbitism, and complex microphthalmia syndrome.

Cleft palate and bilateral congenital cataract: a familial observation: a new syndrome?

We report a family with a rare association of congenital bilateral cataract and cleft palate that has not to our knowledge been previously reported. The lineage has unveiled abnormalities over four generations affecting 21 people with congenital bilateral cataract, with or without cleft palate. The transmission seems autosomal dominant.
