There is an imperfect correlation between the histology and behavior of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). In addition, recurrence is common, and dedifferentiation may occur over time. Preferred primary treatment is intact excision, but friable pseudocapsules and tenacious attachments can thwart this goal in the crowded, visually sensitive orbit. This study addresses the fate and appropriate management of incompletely excised orbital SFT.

It is generally believed that large eyelid defects must be repaired using a vascularized flap for 1 lamella, while the other can be a free graft. Recent studies indicate that the pedicle of a tarsoconjunctival flap does not contribute to blood perfusion. The purpose of this study was to explore whether large eyelid defects can be repaired using a free bilamellar eyelid autograft alone.

The direct brow lift is a simple and popular technique, particularly in patients with brow ptosis secondary to facial palsy. It provides a high degree of control in determining the degree of brow elevation and shape achieved. However, it is arguably the least debated in terms of addressing some of its sequelae, namely the risks of a visible or indrawn scar and forehead paraesthesia. In this article, we report outcomes using four alternative principles to those outlined in current published literature.

Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis is a rare, although highly morbid, infection primarily affecting immunosuppressed individuals. The same population is at particularly high risk of complications and mortality in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome. The authors present a case of acute invasive fungal rhino-orbital mucormycosis in a patient with COVID-19 and discuss the prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of fungal coinfections in COVID-19. Prompt recognition, initiation of therapy, and consideration of the challenges of rapidly evolving COVID-19 therapy guidelines are important for improving patient survival.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibro-inflammatory condition characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates rich in IgG4-positive plasma cells, often with elevated serum IgG4. Multiple organs may be affected. Coronary arteritis may be one form of fatal involvement in IgG4-RD. IgG4-RD can manifest as periocular lesions, called IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD). Here, the authors describe a patient with asymptomatic coronary arteritis detected after the diagnosis of IgG4-ROD. A 58-year-old male complained of eyelid swelling and diplopia without systemic symptoms. Swelling of bilateral lacrimal glands and infraorbital nerves, high serum IgG4 levels, and histopathology of lacrimal gland tissue fulfilled diagnostic criteria for IgG4-ROD. After diagnosis, systemic and coronary CT showed coronary lesions and coronary artery stenosis. After prednisolone at 40?mg/day was administered, swelling of the lacrimal glands, diplopia, and coronary lesions improved. This case emphasizes the importance of systemic screening, even if initial symptoms are solely associated with periocular regions.

A 60-year-old woman had blood-stained discharge with intermittent hemolacria from the left eye, of 3 months duration. The ophthalmic examination showed a firm, nontender, and immobile mass in the left lacrimal sac region. The sac regurgitation test was positive with purulent blood-stained discharge. Lacrimal punctum and canaliculi of both sides were normal. CT scan of orbits showed a hyperdense lesion in the left lacrimal sac region without bone erosion. A complete dacryocystectomy was performed, and the histopathology revealed actinomycosis of the lacrimal sac. At 14 months of follow-up visit, the patient has no clinical evidence of recurrence.

The association between Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP) and neoplasia is rare and has been more commonly reported in cases of solid tumors rather than hemotological malignancies. To the authors’ knowledge, HSP in association with orbital lymphoma has not been previously reported. An 84-year-old man underwent anterior orbitotomy with biopsy for a rapidly growing orbital mass. Immediately following this procedure, he developed petechial rash, flash pulmonary edema, and kidney dysfunction with hematuria and proteinuria. Orbital biopsy revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma while skin and kidney biopsies showed features consistent with HSP. Multidisciplinary team involvement and treatment with chemotherapy and corticosteroid resulted in an excellent clinical response. Clinicians should be aware that HSP and orbital diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can co-occur, potentially leading to life-threatening rapid fluid shifts and metabolic derangements.

Intramuscular choristomatous cystic lesions within the orbit are rare but may require removal due to their volume effects. The authors describe 2 such cases of intramuscular cysts in adult patients. Both patients presented with symptoms due to local mass effects with swelling, proptosis and diplopia. Imaging confirmed cystic intramuscular masses. Surgical removal involved intraoperative decompression of the cyst to aid dissection with excision of some muscle fibers. Histology confirmed a keratinized stratified squamous lined dermoid cyst within lateral rectus for case 1 and stratified squamous non-keratinized conjunctival epithelium (simple primary conjunctival cyst) within inferior oblique for case 2.

An 81-year-old woman presented with a progressively enlarging indurated, firm lesion encompassing one-third of the left upper eyelid. Four years prior, a similar lesion at that same site had been excised and diagnosed as a basal cell carcinoma. The patient underwent a full-thickness excision of the lesion with frozen section, cryotherapy, and reconstruction. A free tarsal graft and hard palate composite graft was used to reconstruct the posterior lamella. A Mustarde myocutaneous rotational flap was used to reconstruct the anterior lamella. Histopathology illustrated nests of pleomorphic basophilic cells with varying mitotic activity and immunohistochemical staining consistent with eccrine porocarcinoma. This case highlights similarities in the presentation and appearance of basal cell carcinoma and periorbital eccrine porocarcinoma. It is possible that there was de novo development of the 2 tumors on the eyelid or recurrence of a misdiagnosed eccrine porocarcinoma. Eccrine porocarcinomas are rare malignant sweat gland tumors associated with a risk of recurrence after excision and metastasis.

Chagas disease is an inflammatory, infectious disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi found in the feces of the triatomine bug, which can cause a sudden, brief acute illness, or it may become a long-lasting chronic condition. Chagas disease is common in South America and Central America, however, the constantly expanding global community has brought Chagas disease to the forefront of non-endemic areas, particularly the United States and Europe. The authors present a case of a 47-year-old healthy farmer diagnosed with a right orbital cellulitis refractory to systemic antibiotics. Based on clinical symptoms, the patient’s medical/demographical history and a proper differential diagnosis, an acute phase of Chagas disease was diagnosed. After antiparasitic treatment, the patient had a proper recovery and continued with a regular follow-up to monitor the possible development of a chronic phase.

Recurrence of cavernous venous malformation is exceedingly rare. In 1995, a 16-year-old woman was referred for left axial proptosis. Her left visual acuity was 20/200, and there were choroidal folds in the OS. MRI studies showed a well-circumscribed retrobulbar intraconal mass in the left orbit. The tumor was totally removed with intact capsule through a transconjunctival orbitotomy and proved to be a cavernous venous malformation. In 2020, at the age of 41 years and 25 years after the operation, she again presented with left proptosis. Imaging results were very similar to those at first presentation. This tumor was also extirpated in its entirety via an inferior forniceal orbitotomy with the histopathologic diagnosis of a cavernous venous malformation. Her final left visual acuity remained 20/50. Women with orbital cavernous venous malformations, especially those who undergo surgical removal at a relatively young age are advised to have long-term follow up complemented with occasional imaging studies.

A 63-year-old man reported a 2-year history of painless OS proptosis. The first MRI, performed in the institution of origin, resulted in a diagnosis of hemangioma versus orbital pseudotumor. Examination revealed proptosis and mild chemosis. Ancillary tests were normal, and oral prednisone was initiated without remarkable changes. Later, an incisional biopsy identified the lesion as an intramuscular myxoma of the left rectus, and a new MRI was ordered. It described a fusiform thickening of the medial rectus with and exophytic growth below the inferior rectus and upward toward the superior oblique. Due to the localization of the lesion, a combined transcaruncular and swinging eyelid approach with a lateral orbitotomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a proliferation of stromal origin composed of myxoid matrix with fusocellular and stellate-shaped cells. Cells were S-100, CD34, and CD56 positive and negative for epithelial membrane antigen, CD68, CD10, actin, and desmin. Results were consistent with a left medial rectus nerve sheath myxoma.

Eye disease due to pachymeningitis caused by immunoglobulin G4–related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare occurrence. Here, the authors report a unique case of a patient presenting with visual loss from raised intracerebral pressure from pachymeningitis most likely related to IgG4-RD. The patient was treated with acetazolamide and steroids, and an optic nerve sheath fenestration was performed to successfully save the patients vision.

A woman in her early 50s previously treated 7 years prior with iodine-125 plaque brachytherapy without a biopsy for gene expression profiling for uveal melanoma in the left eye presented with a 3-week history of intermittent diplopia and headache. Ophthalmic examination was significant for limitation in left eye upward gaze; otherwise, examination revealed a stable, regressed tumor in the left eye, and normal vision, pressure, and pupils in both eyes. Neuroimaging showed a left cavernous sinus lesion, suggestive of a meningioma. Excisional biopsy revealed metastatic melanoma. The patient was treated with radiotherapy, and her diplopia resolved. Slight enlargement of the lesion was noted on neuroimaging 20 months later, and was treated with stereotactic radiosurgery. Serial neuroimaging in the following 6 months did not reveal any recurrences or new metastases. This case demonstrates the importance of investigating persistent diplopia in a patient with a history of uveal melanoma, and the possibility of metastases occurring in organs besides the liver or lung.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum which is undergoing a global resurgence since its initial decline in the late 1980s. The authors present the case of a 30-year-old Caucasian female who was transferred to our institution for left-sided orbital cellulitis and ultimately diagnosed with ocular syphilis causing panophthalmitis. She was treated with intravenous penicillin and other broad-spectrum antibiotics, topical prednisolone, and cycloplegia, resulting in full recovery. Timely recognition of ocular syphilis by healthcare professionals is key in the prevention of visual sequelae from the infection.

A 65-year-old woman presented with a 6-week history of redness, eyelid swelling, and discharge in the right eye. Slit lamp examination revealed right medial canthal erythema with cicatricial lower lid ectropion, retraction, and inferior punctal obliteration. The patient was previously diagnosed with a medial canthal basal cell carcinoma 1.5 years ago, but opted for self-treatment with black salve, a commonly used naturopathic “cure” for skin cancer. Each application resulted in increasingly severe periorbital inflammation with eventual eschar formation. Over time, this led to cicatricial band formation over the medial canthus. After biopsy confirmation of residual basal cell carcinoma within the cicatricial tissues, the patient underwent Mohs surgery followed by multistaged reconstruction. Herein, we report a case of patient whose use of an unproven naturopathic “cure” led to persistent periorbital inflammation, persistence of malignancy, and significant tissue destruction.

Lower eyelid colobomas associated with Treacher Collins syndrome can be challenging to repair because of associated orbital and midfacial dysostosis. Alloplastic implants such as porous polyethylene have been advocated as readily available malar implants to help improve eyelid retraction. The authors report the first case of porous polyethylene implant insidious migration into the orbit with subsequent scleral penetration. A 14-year-old male with Treacher Collins syndrome, presented with a 3-week history of left eye pain, redness, and eyelid swelling unresponsive to topical treatment. He previously had bilateral lower lid coloboma repair with alloplastic implant placement and full-thickness skin grafts. On exam, he had left eye injection and chemosis, with left hypotropia and complete restrictive ophthalmoplegia. Imaging revealed displacement of implant into the orbit with adherence and impingement on the eye globe.

Late-onset orbital hemorrhage is a rare complication of alloplastic implant use in orbital wall reconstruction following trauma. The authors report 3 patients with chocolate cysts presenting 3 to 9 years after orbital fracture repair with porous polyethylene implants. All patients were managed by implant removal and evacuation of cyst contents. Complete excision of the cyst was performed in 1 patient, while partial excision of the capsule was performed in 2 patients. Improvement of symptoms associated with the mass effects of the cyst was noted after surgical intervention. The authors also report the first case of orbital volume expansion from a chocolate cyst associated with a nonbarriered porous polyethylene implant. Delayed hemorrhage with capsule formation, although extremely rare, is a possible complication following orbital fracture repair with porous polyethylene implants.
