Article Synopsis
  • * Most pediatric eye tumors, like dermoid cysts and chalazia, are benign but can still cause serious health issues due to their location.
  • * Key types of pediatric eye tumors include vascular lesions, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and certain metastatic lesions like neuroblastoma.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on understanding the differences between epidermoid cysts (EC) and dermoid cysts (DC) in the orbit, examining their radiologic and histopathologic characteristics through the review of 69 patient cases.
  • The results showed that DC were more prevalent (85.5%) than EC (14.5%) and highlighted varying radiodensities and bony changes associated with each type of cyst on CT scans.
  • The findings suggest that the characteristics observed in imaging could help differentiate between EC and DC before surgical intervention, based on radiodensity and signs of bony remodeling.

Article Synopsis
  • * Initially thought to be a dermoid cyst, surgery revealed a feeder vessel, raising suspicion for a more serious condition.
  • * Post-surgery, histopathology confirmed alveolar RMS, leading to the child's referral for chemotherapy, emphasizing the importance of vigilance for rapidly growing lesions that could indicate RMS instead of benign conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • Orbital tumors are various diseases affecting the eye area, and early detection is crucial for effective treatment, especially for malignant cases.
  • Neuroradiological imaging, particularly MRI, is key for diagnosing these tumors, with adults often experiencing lymphoproliferative diseases and children more frequently dealing with dermoid cysts and optic gliomas.
  • Specific tumors like optic glioma, which is a type of pilocytic astrocytoma, and retinoblastoma, an aggressive childhood tumor, have distinct characteristics that help doctors narrow down their diagnoses based on patient age, tumor location, and imaging results.

Ophthalmological and Interdisciplinary Surgical Approaches to the Orbit.

Klin Monbl Augenheilkd

November 2023

Augenklinik, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Deutschland.

The treatment of orbital masses often requires an interdisciplinary approach. Ophthalmological surgical approaches include the anterior transcutaneous approach for removal of dermoids or taking biopsies. Anterior transconjunctival orbitotomy is suitable for masses of the inferior orbit or the intraconal compartment, but is inappropriate for masses of the orbital apex.
