Cherubism is a rare fibro-osseous disease characterized by the progressive expansion of the mandible and maxilla during childhood. Orbital involvement occurs in a subset of patients and is clinically manifested as upward displacement of the affected eye. The bony changes tend to spontaneously diminish or even regress after puberty. The authors report a case of a young adult female who underwent craniofacial correction of the maxilla and mandible changes but continued to have unilateral scleral show. CT scans of the orbits revealed a residual mass in the right orbit, associated with superior displacement of the inferior orbital rim. The abnormal relationship between the eye and eyelid margin was fully corrected through mass debulking combined with inferomedial orbital decompression.

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.

Background And Importance: Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is a rare, acquired aberration of the innervation of the superior oblique, resulting in episodic monocular contraction of the superior oblique muscle characterized by intermittent rotatory eye movement causing diplopia and oscillopsia. Several treatment modalities have been described to treat SOM, including medication and surgical interventions. There is a paucity of reports describing microvascular decompression (MVD) of the trochlear nerve near the root entry zone for the treatment of a neurovascular conflict.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a common extrathyroidal manifestation of hyperthyroidism, typically associated with Graves' disease (GD). This condition can cause severe functional limitations as well as significant aesthetic concerns. Treatment for TED patients aims to restore functionality and address aesthetic concerns.
