Purpose: The aim of this article is to describe a new reconstructive technique of the lower eyelid in the surgery of tumors involving the medial canthal tendon.
Methods: Our new technique consists of detaching and reflecting the most medial portion of the anterior medial canthal tendon and reinserting it into the posterior lamella. We describe the cases in which our technique can be useful, as well as the results we have obtained.
Results: The result after a year of follow-up showed no disruption of the angulation of the lower eyelid line and no changes in eyelid position.
Conclusions: The medial canthal tendon reflection could provide both aesthetic and functional results that may be superior to the usual techniques.

Canaliculops is a rare case of a medial canthal mass due to a non-infectious dilation of the canaliculus and easily mimics canaliculitis with canalicular dilation. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman with a five-year history of progressive swelling of the right upper eyelid. The patient was previously diagnosed with canaliculitis at other clinics and had a history of diabetes mellitus.

Purpose: To examine the anatomy of the orbital septum posterior to the medial canthal tendon area.
Materials And Methods: We performed 3 anatomical dissections in the present study. The first one was a microscopic study in which exenterated specimens from 6 Japanese cadavers (age from 77 to 93 years at death) were cut inferno-horizontally, including the Müller muscle, medial rectus pulley, and lateral rectus pulley, and stained with Masson's trichrome.

Article Synopsis
- A total of 15 patients (5 men, 10 women) underwent the procedure, which involved excising the nevus while placing a silicone tube to support the area; surgeries lasted about 22 minutes on average.
- Post-surgery results showed no recurrence of nevi, healthy healing with normal eyelid appearance, and no significant complications observed during follow-up periods ranging from 6 months to 2 years.
In- Versus Out-Fracture: A Novel Concept in Naso-Orbito-Ethmoid Injury.
Craniomaxillofac Trauma Reconstr

Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI, USA.
Study Design: A retrospective study.
Objective: The Markowitz-Manson classification system categorizes nasoorbitoethmoid (NOE) fractures by severity of injury and remaining integrity of the medial canthal tendon. However, this system does not account for direction of bony displacement (in-fracture vs out-fracture), which can greatly affect symptomatology and management.
