The indications for and the diagnostic yield of imaging in neuro-ophthalmic and orbital disorders.

Unlabelled: Correction: On 7th June, the first author's name was changed FROM Eli Ranjitkar Pradan TO Eli Pradhan Introduction: Neuro-imaging is an important method of investigation in neuro- ophthalmic and orbital conditions. These investigations are expensive and time consuming. This study describes the diagnostic yield of neuroimaging in patients referred from neuro-ophthalmic services.

Floppy eyelid syndrome: the coventry experience.

Purpose: Floppy eyelid syndrome is a condition that is difficult to identify and diagnose and with no clear guidelines on its management. We propose a method of reliably grading this syndrome and have proposed a management algorithm based on the grading.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective data collection of patients diagnosed with Floppy eyelid syndrome and treated under the care of a single oculoplastic surgeon over a 9 year period.

A new technique of alfentanil-induced conscious sedation for oculoplastic surgery.

This technique describes a new painless method of injecting local anaesthetic in a highly pain-sensitive area of the body-around the eyes. We describe how a new technique using a bolus of intravenous alfentanil can help alleviate patient discomfort during the injection of the local anaesthetic and also reduce the amount of local anaesthetic injected. This also helps oculoplastic surgeons to work in a relaxed environment, whilst still utilizing the efficiencies that are provided by an ambulatory day surgery unit.

One stage management of a giant kissing naevus.

We report a one stage management of a Giant Divided Naevus of the eyelids with excellent cosmetic results.

Complications of Cicatricial Ectropion Repair with Pre-Auricular Wolfe Graft.

An 85-year-old lady presented with a severe cicatricial ectropion several months after a fall. The abnormality was corrected with a procedure that involved the use of a retroauricular skin graft. This provided resolution of her ocular symptoms.

Molluscum Contagiosum-Induced Periocular Toxic Dermatitis.

This report describes an unusual case of a 9-year-old boy with a 6-month history of right lower eyelid lesion and excoriation of the adjoining skin that had not responded to topical treatment. The umbilicated lesion was electively excised and the base of the lesion was cauterized under general anesthesia, which resulted in complete resolution of the periocular dermatitis without additional treatment. It is important to consider molluscum contagiosum in the differential diagnosis in patients with periocular dermatitis, especially in the presence of an umbilicated vesicle, although it is classically taught that these lesions present with toxic conjunctivitis.

Excision of Xanthelasmata - clamp, shave, and suture.

Xanthelasma is a common disfiguring condition, which can be difficult to treat. Various treatments have been reported previously with varying degree of success. We report a simple yet effective technique of excision of the lesions with excellent cosmetic outcome.

An arteriovenous malformation masquerading as a carotid-cavernous sinus fistula.

Purpose: To describe a case of an occipital arteriovenous malformation (AVM) presenting with unilateral signs mimicking a carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF).

Design: Interventional case report.

Methods: A 67-year-old normotensive male presented with loss of vision, pain, and proptosis of the right eye.
