Incisions used for orbital floor exploration continues to remain a topic of controversy. Historically, 3 incisions have been used for orbital floor repair: transconjunctival, subciliary, and subtarsal. Past studies have attempted to stratify the superiority of one incision over the others. Insufficient level of evidence and inconsistent methodology have lead to inconclusive data. Our authors performed a systematic review of literature to assess the quality of evidence in literature and recommend guidelines for incisions for repairing orbital fractures. Thirty-one articles were identified, comprising a total of 4688 incisions. Technique along with individual benefits and complication profiles for each incision is reviewed. Objectivity and follow-up time intervals are necessary parameters for evaluating incisions for orbital floor exploration to further define guidelines.

Rationale: The orbital Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is rare clinically, due to its ability to mimic other conditions, distinguishing LCH from hematoma when these disorders coexist can be particularly challenging.
Patient Concerns: A 3-year-old boy presented with a 2-week history of unresolved bruising and swelling of the left eye. CT revealed a well-defined cystic lesion in the preseptal tissues of the left eyelid, with an incomplete bone structure at the lower margin of the orbit.
A Comparison of Endoscope-Assisted and Open Frontoorbital Distraction for the Treatment of Unicoronal Craniosynostosis.
Plast Reconstr Surg
January 2025
From the Divisions of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Oral Surgery.
Background: Frontoorbital distraction osteogenesis (FODO) is an established surgical technique for patients with unicoronal craniosynostosis. The authors' institution has used an endoscope-assisted technique (endo-FODO) in recent years to decrease cutaneous scarring and lessen the impact on the functional growth matrix. This study compared perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing endo-FODO to those in patients undergoing the traditional coronal approach.

Post-COVID-19 mucormycosis, particularly the rhino-orbital-cerebral form, can be life-threatening. This case highlights the importance of maintaining high clinical suspicion, especially in patients with recent COVID-19 history. Prompt diagnosis, aggressive surgical debridement, and antifungal therapy are crucial for successful management, even in patients without traditional risk factors.

Purpose: Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques have paved the way for single-step resections and cranio-orbital reconstructions with patient specific implants in spheno-orbital tumors. Here, we present our interdisciplinary maxillofacial and neurosurgical workflow and a case series of patients treated with this integrated approach.
Methods: Patients, who underwent single-step resection of benign spheno-orbital tumors and cranio-orbital reconstruction with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) patient specific implants (PSI) from 2019 to 2024 in our institution were included.
