One hundred and five patients were investigated for functional and aesthetic impairments following treatment of orbital trauma through subciliary, mid-lower eyelid, or infraorbital incisions. The progress of impairments with time was assessed, and the merits and shortcomings of each of the three approaches were established. The results showed that impairments persisting up to 6 months postoperatively have virtually not receded even after 6 years. The infraorbital incision showed the highest frequency of impairments, followed by the subciliary incision. The mid-lower eyelid incision showed the best results, with an impairment frequency well below those of the other two approaches. This approach seems to combine the advantages of the infraorbital incision with the unnoticeable scar formation associated with the subciliary incision.

Background: This study tested the core tenets of how facial scars are perceived by characterizing layperson response to faces with scars. The authors predicted that scars closer to highly viewed structures of the face (i.e.

This retrospective study aimed at investigating indications, surgical approaches, and the materials used for orbital floor reconstructions, as well as the clinical follow-up, particularly with regard to postoperative complications. This study comprised 189 patients who underwent surgery for fractures of the orbital floor between 2003 and 2007. Diagnosis and treatment were based on both physical examination and computed tomography scan of the orbit.

To indicate the usefulness of modern neurosurgical techniques to remove intraorbital foreign bodies, not removed during primary ophthalmological surgical intervention. PATIENT 1: A 29-year-old man, struck with a bottle, with a piece of glass located at the top of the right orbit. During the primary ophthalmological intervention--orbitotomy accessed through the conjunctiva of the fornix of the upper eyelid and the second cut through the wound in the eyelid--the foreign body was not removed.

A microcomputer-based approach to the quantification of facial expression was used to measure and compare the smiling behavior of a group of Parkinson's disease sufferers, a group of patients with major depression, and a control group of comparable age. Subjects were asked to view a series of amusing slides and their expressions were recorded. The most animated smile for each subject was chosen for analysis and scores on 12 computer-generated measures were obtained using the Facial Expression Measurement program.
