Soft tissue perineurioma of the lacrimal gland: a case report.

A 17-year-old Caucasian man presented with an enlarging, painless mass causing a bulge in the lateral aspect of the left upper eyelid. An MRI demonstrated a well-circumscribed lacrimal gland mass without bony erosion. A 1-cm lacrimal gland mass was excised.

Medical management versus surgical intervention of pediatric orbital cellulitis: the importance of subperiosteal abscess volume as a new criterion.

Purpose: To investigate age and frontal sinusitis as indications for the surgical management of pediatric orbital cellulitis with subperiosteal abscess (SPA) and to create an SPA volume criterion that would favor nonsurgical management.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed to find all patients age 18 years and younger who presented to Hasbro Children's Hospital with orbital cellulitis secondary to sinusitis with an SPA from 2005 to 2009. SPA volume was measured using a CT ruler at the largest axial, coronal, and sagittal dimensions.

Entropion-ectropion: the influence of axial globe projection on lower eyelid malposition.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of axial globe projection on lower eyelid malposition with aging.

Methods: Consecutive patients presenting to 2 oculoplastic surgeons with lower eyelid and tarsal involutional ectropion or entropion underwent axial globe projection measurements with a Hertel exophthalmometer.

Results: Data on 36 eyelids of 31 white patients were collected.

Purpose: To investigate the association between seatbelt use and (1) the spectrum of ocular injuries and (2) visual acuity outcomes after motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) with airbag deployment.

Design: Single-center retrospective observational case series.

Participants: Forty-seven patients involved in MVAs with airbag deployment.
