..To investigate the incidence of and reasons for voluntary resident attrition from ophthalmology training programs...

..It is currently unknown how much exophthalmos may be noticeable to an observer. The authors determined the threshold for detection of exophthalmos may be 4 millimeters...

..The goal of this paper is to provide a review of recent research investigating candidate genes involved in the pathophysiology of both Graves' disease per se and of thyroid orbitopathy...

..We review the differential of idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease, including IgG4-RD, and emphasize the need for biopsy for accurate diagnosis and to guide appropriate treatment...

..He was treated for presumed orbital cellulitis without improvement. Increasing the corticosteroid dose for his Addison disease resulted in complete resolution of the inflammation...

..A light-emitting diode (LED) photomodulation system can produce pulses of amber light expected to induce structural skin changes and reverse the effects of photoaging...

..This is the first example in the eyelid of an epidermoid cyst displaying malignant transformation. No matter how innocent they may appear, all small cystic or noncystic eyelid lesions should be submitted for pathologic evaluation...

..Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of underlying ocular cicatricial pemphigoid in all patients with entropion, including those without a cicatricial component...

..Complications from surgical management of canaliculitis are unusual. Clinicians should be aware of the rare but serious risk of spread of the infection to the orbit...

..Nearly all patients with measurements of 5 mm and greater had abnormal appearances. The point at which enophthalmos becomes detectable lies between 3 mm and 4 mm...

..To describe 6 patients representing a new entity of Meibomian gland keratinous cysts...

..Computed tomography demonstrated enlargement of each of the extraocular muscles in both orbits. Extraocular muscle biopsy confirmed rhabdomyosarcoma. She was treated with radiation but died 2 months after presentation...

..To describe periorbital changes induced by chronic topical therapy with daily bimatoprost 0.03% (Lumigan, Allergan Inc., Irvine, CA, U.S.A.)...

....

..CONCLUSIONS: Patients frequently perceive asymmetry in healing after bilateral eyelid surgery, but objective measurements show that asymmetry in bruising is typically small...

..Our case affirms that primary optic nerve meningiomas may rarely cause episodic manifestations resembling those of idiopathic orbital inflammation that resolve with corticosteroid treatment...

..This report reviews the anatomy of this artery to familiarize the reader with its existence and location to reduce the risk of intraoperative hemorrhage from this vessel...

....

..Her socket failed to epithelialize and contained a diffuse pyogenic granuloma that was caused by chronic Staphylococcus aureus infection. Extensive debridement and long-term intravenous antibiotics resulted in normal healing...

..To describe the incidence and patterns of orbital and adnexal injuries in patients with open-globe injuries...

..For example, identification of the molecules involved in the inflammatory cascade which results in TAO may help predict progression of disease and identify specific treatment modalities which may benefit individual patients [11,70]...

..Multiple biopsies revealed lipogranuloma consistent with chalazion. The induration resolved after multiple triamcinolone injections. This is the only case report to our knowledge of a chalazion that involved the entire upper eyelid...

..This procedure has not been associated with endophthalmitis...

..The absence or presence of intratumoral blood flow as demonstrated by CDI can help determine the nature of the orbital mass and can assist with surgical planning...

..No complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the T-bar through a transconjunctival approach is a simplified and effective technique for zygomatic fracture repair...
