The Orbitomalar Ligament: A Cleavage Plane in Oculofacial Trauma.

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg

December 2024

Section of Ophthalmology, Department of Surgery.

We describe an oculofacial injury phenotype manifesting as a cleavage plane following the orbitomalar ligament in 5 cases. Across these cases, curvilinear wounds followed the course of the orbitomalar ligament, running clean planes through orbicularis oculi down to the infraorbital rim and arcus marginalis. One case involved bilateral orbitomalar ligaments, and 1 case involved the inferior canaliculus.

Background: Anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) encompasses a range of congenital disorders affecting the development of the eye's anterior segment, often leading to significant visual impairment and glaucoma. Although numerous studies have focused on the genetic basis of ASD, few have comprehensively compared the clinical features across ASD subtypes. This study aims to address this gap by describing and comparing the clinical characteristics and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) imaging features of various ASD subtypes in a Chinese tertiary medical center.

Background Transconjunctival blepharoplasty using the postseptal technique provides direct access to orbital fat, offering reduced risk of complications, such as ectropion, entropion, fat over-resection, and inferior oblique muscle palsy. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and safety of transconjunctival blepharoplasty using the postseptal technique, focusing on the incidence of postoperative complications, the recovery time, and the feasibility of combining ancillary procedures with this approach. Methods In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed the outcomes of 88 patients who underwent transconjunctival postseptal blepharoplasty at a private hospital in northern India between July 2022 and January 2024.

Adverse effects associated with the irresponsible use of phenol peeling - literature review.

Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol

August 2024

Department of Oral Surgery, Stomatology, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology, Bauru School Dentistry, University of São Paulo, Bauru, Brazil.

Carbolic acid or phenol is considered a chemical agent that produces intense facial rejuvenation when used correctly, however, solutions containing this substance are dangerous and their action must be controlled. The aim of this study was to collect information on the adverse effects of the use of phenolic compounds for facial esthetic purposes. Phenol promotes the denaturation and coagulation of epidermal keratin proteins, deep chemical peels carried out with phenol, when well indicated and properly conducted, produce incomparable results, however, the ignorant use of these solutions can produce ectropion, keloids, and unsightly scars on the face and neck, in addition, systemic absorption is related to hepatorenal and cardiac toxicity.

Article Synopsis
  • Oral commissure stenosis and lower eyelid ectropion from burns are difficult to treat due to a lack of preclinical models; this study describes a method for inducing controlled burns in swine to aid future research.
  • The experiment involved inducing burns of various durations (10 to 30 seconds) on swine and observing changes over time using techniques like laser speckle imaging for assessing tissue health and healing.
  • Results indicated that longer burn times led to more severe tissue damage and inflammation, but no significant functional impairments were noted, suggesting the need for further exploration of treatments with this new burn model.
