AI Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a case of a 9-year-old boy with left-sided eyelid ptosis, which is an unusual symptom not linked to common causes like infections.
- MRI results showed pansinusitis and otitis media that affected the muscle responsible for lifting the upper eyelid, providing a specific diagnosis.
- This case highlights the importance of thorough imaging to identify underlying issues in cases of ptosis that don't fit typical presentations.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Upper eyelid ptosis has different etiologies in children and adults. In children, the common causes include orbital cellulitis, congenital ptosis, Cranial Nerve (CN) III palsy, and Horner's syndrome. The purpose of this report is to discuss an unusual presentation of ptosis.
Observations: We describe a case of a 9-year-old boy with left-sided ptosis with no apparent clinical signs of orbital or preseptal infection. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed pansinusitis and contralateral otitis media with direct extension into the superior aspect of the left orbit affecting the levator palpebrae superioris muscle.
Conclusions And Importance: This finding on imaging disclosed the etiology of an otherwise unexplained case of upper lid ptosis.

Eyelid Spindle Cell Lipoma: Case Report and Review of Three Patients in Literature.
Clin Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Pathology, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences Okayama University Okayama Japan.
A 39-year-old woman presented a saucer-shaped mass in the left upper eyelid and underwent the extirpation at local anesthesia. Pathologically, collagen fibers, capillaries, small vessels, and CD34-positive spindle cells were dispersed among mature adipose tissues, indicative of spindle cell lipoma. Long-lasting cyst-like eyelid masses would be usually dermoid cysts, and spindle cell lipoma would be listed as a rare pathological diagnosis in differential diagnoses of cyst-like lesions in the upper and lower eyelid.

Purpose: Lagophthalmos from facial nerve palsy is traditionally measured with patients in an upright position and may fail to identify positional variability. This study aims to assess the effects of body position, surgical technique, implant material, and patient demographics on lagophthalmos.
Methods: A multicenter prospective study was performed to evaluate positional changes in paralytic lagophthalmos and the effects of various patient and surgical factors.

Article Synopsis
- Tarsal heights in Asian eyelids were found to be higher than previously reported, which may clarify issues with traditional double eyelid surgery methods.
- A novel 'MAP method' for creating double eyelid creases was developed, involving specific suturing techniques that preserve important eyelid tissue and provide adjustable crease heights based on individual patient preferences.
- This new technique offers better eyelid mechanics, a quicker recovery process, and longer-lasting results with minimal complications compared to classic procedures.

Conjunctival malignant melanoma is extremely rare, with no standard of care established at moment. Here we report a 65-year-old woman, as a hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier, who presented concurrently a liver mass and lower bulbar conjunctival pigmented lesions in the right eye. Needle liver biopsy and excisional conjunctival biopsy showed hepatocellular carcinoma and conjunctival malignant melanoma , respectively.
