Purpose: To explore the cause of orbital fracture associated with diplopia by summarizing 68 cases,in order to offer reference for clinical treatment.

Methods: 68 cases of orbital fracture associated with diplopia were examined by maxillofacial surgeon and oculist,by analyzing the CT and X-ray films of whom to make clear the reasons of diplopia.

Results: Of the 68 cases,male was more than female,vertical diplopia was dominant,and generally with the changes of the orbital structure.

Conclusion: The main cause of diplopia is for the changes of orbital structures. The doctors must take it seriously and give the patients timely treatment.

Orbital apex lesions represent a clinical challenge since they are difficult to remove surgically and may induce significant functional defects. The orbital apex is an area of convergence of neurovascular elements passing through the various local osseous foramina and the congestion of several critical anatomical structures in a confined space increases the risk of intraoperative complications. Radiotherapy is an alternative treatment option in such cases but may also induce radiation toxicity.

Importance: Although 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a well-established cross-sectional biomarker of brain metabolism in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), the longitudinal change in FDG-PET has not been characterized.

Objective: To investigate longitudinal FDG-PET in prodromal DLB and DLB, including a subsample with autopsy data, and report estimated sample sizes for a hypothetical clinical trial in DLB.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Longitudinal case-control study with mean (SD) follow-up of 3.

Purpose: The purpose of this manuscript is to report a rare case of an orbital cyst detected intrauterine with sonography.

Observation: A 23-year-old female presented for routine prenatal monitoring when an orbital cyst was detected with a transabdominal ultrasound. Uncomplicated cesarean section was performed at 38 weeks gestation with proptosis of the left globe being noted on ophthalmic examination of the newborn.

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a rare condition resulting from damage to the optic nerve due to craniofacial trauma. It can present as direct or indirect injuries, with mechanisms ranging from mechanical disruption by fractures in direct TON to transmitted forces causing shearing and ischemia in indirect TON. These injuries often lead to significant visual impairment or complete vision loss, requiring timely diagnosis and intervention.

This retrospective case series evaluates the use of intralesional bleomycin injections in treating orbital venolymphatic malformations (OVLM). Three patients, a 7-year-old girl, a 37-year-old woman, and a 56-year-old man, presented with OVLM where the first two were recurrent cases with a history of failed sclerotherapy. All patients received multiple doses of intralesional bleomycin injections, resulting in significant reductions in lesion size, decreased proptosis, and pain relief.
