A spontaneous intraorbital arteriovenous fistula is an extremely rare phenomenon. More commonly, arteriovenous fistulas occur spontaneously as carotid cavernous fistulas and dural cavernous fistulas or are secondary to trauma. Surgical approaches vary widely and each carries their own set of potential problems. The purpose of this single case report was to provide an example of a successful treatment of a rare, spontaneous intraorbital vascular fistula.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the rise of invasive fungal sinusitis, particularly mucormycosis, in post-COVID-19 patients in India, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis through neuroimaging to improve survival rates.
- - Researchers analyzed MR imaging from 91 confirmed cases, finding that over half of the patients (51.6%) had advanced disease with intracranial spread, with significant complications such as cavernous sinus involvement and osteomyelitis.
- - The results showed that unlike non-COVID-19 cases, there were no instances of certain severe complications like thrombosis in the studied COVID-19-associated cases, emphasizing unique patterns in disease manifestation.
Simulating Upper Eyelid Ptosis During Neuromodulator Injections-An Exploratory Injection and Dissection Study.
J Cosmet Dermatol
December 2024
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital, Guangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- Aesthetic neuromodulator injections, commonly used to reduce upper facial wrinkles, can lead to a condition called blepharoptosis (drooping eyelids) in about 0.51% to 5.4% of cases.
- * The study analyzed injections in 18 supraorbital regions of nine human body donors to uncover how neuromodulators travel from outside to inside the orbit, impacting the levator palpebrae superioris muscle.
- * Findings revealed that a higher injection volume (0.5 cc) was linked to 19.44% of cases affecting eyelid elevation, suggesting that lower volumes and proper injection techniques could enhance safety during aesthetic treatments.*
