RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the diagnostic value of whole-orbit-based multiparametric assessment on Dixon MRI for the evaluation of the thyroid eye disease (TED) activity. METHODS: The retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed as TED and obtained their axial and coronal Dixon MRI scans. Multiparameters were assessed, including water fraction (WF), fat fraction (FF) of extraocular muscles (EOMs), orbital fat (OF), and lacrimal gland (LG). The thickness of OF and herniation of LG were also measured. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was applied to construct prediction models based on single or multiple structures. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was also implemented. RESULTS: Univariable logistic analysis revealed significant differences in water fraction (WF) of the superior rectus (P = 0.018), fat fraction (FF) of the medial rectus (P = 0.029), WF of OF (P = 0.004), and herniation of LG (P = 0.012) between the active and inactive TED phases. Multivariable logistic analysis and corresponding receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis of each structure attained the area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.774, 0.771, and 0.729 for EOMs, OF, and LG, respectively, while the combination of the four imaging parameters generated a final AUC of 0.909. CONCLUSIONS: Dixon MRI may be used for fine multiparametric assessment of multiple orbital structures. The whole-orbit-based model improves the diagnostic performance of TED activity evaluation.

RESUMO

Purpose: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is characterized by proliferation of orbital tissues and complicated by compressive optic neuropathy (CON). This study aims to utilize a deep-learning (DL)-based automated segmentation model to segment orbital muscle and fat volumes on computed tomography (CT) images and provide quantitative volumetric data and a machine learning (ML)-based classifier to distinguish between TED and TED with CON. Methods: Subjects with TED who underwent clinical evaluation and orbital CT imaging were included. Patients with clinical features of CON were classified as having severe TED, and those without were classified as having mild TED. Normal subjects were used for controls. A U-Net DL-model was used for automatic segmentation of orbital muscle and fat volumes from orbital CTs, and ensemble of Random Forest Classifiers were used for volumetric analysis of muscle and fat. Results: Two hundred eighty-one subjects were included in this study. Automatic segmentation of orbital tissues was performed. Dice coefficient was recorded to be 0.902 and 0.921 for muscle and fat volumes, respectively. Muscle volumes among normal, mild, and severe TED were found to be statistically different. A classification model utilizing volume data and limited patient data had an accuracy of 0.838 and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.929 in predicting normal, mild TED, and severe TED. Conclusions: DL-based automated segmentation of orbital images for patients with TED was found to be accurate and efficient. An ML-based classification model using volumetrics and metadata led to high diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing TED and TED with CON. By enabling rapid and precise volumetric assessment, this may be a useful tool in future clinical studies.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TDUS), computed tomography angiography (CTA), and transcranial Doppler ultrasound to detect cerebral blood flow are among the adjunctive tests in diagnosing brain death. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of orbital doppler ultrasound (ODUS). METHODS: This prospective, single-blind study included 66 patients for whom brain death was to be diagnosed. Primary outcome measures were ODUS measurements, Ophthalmic artery peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistive indices (RI) measurements recorded during the brain death determination process. Secondary outcome measures were computed tomography angio (CTA), transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TDUS), and demographic data. RESULTS: This study investigating the effectiveness of ODUS in diagnosing brain death provided diagnostic success with 100% sensitivity and 93% specificity compared to CT angiography. It was noted that anatomical variations may limit its use. CONCLUSION: ODUS was found to have high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of clinical brain death. It may assist in early prognostic assessment and shorten patient follow-up and diagnostic processes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Preclinical validation study to assess the feasibility and accuracy of electromagnetic image-guided systems (EM-IGS) in orbital surgery using high-fidelity physical orbital anatomy simulators. METHODS: EM-IGS platform, clinical software, navigation instruments and reference system (StealthStation S8, Medtronic) were evaluated in a mock operating theatre at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital, a tertiary academic hospital in Dublin, Ireland. Five high-resolution 3D-printed model skulls were created using CT scans of five anonymised patients with an orbital tumour that previously had a successful orbital biopsy or excision. The ability of ophthalmic surgeons to achieve satisfactory system registration in each model was assessed. Subsequently, navigational accuracy was recorded using defined anatomical landmarks as ground truth. Qualitative feedback on the system was also attained. RESULTS: Three independent surgeons participated in the study, one junior trainee, one fellow and one consultant. Across models, more senior participants were able to achieve a smaller system-generated registration error in a fewer number of attempts. When assessing navigational accuracy, submillimetre accuracy was achieved for the majority of points (16 landmarks per model, per participant). Qualitative surgeon feedback suggested acceptability of the technology, although interference from mobile phones near the operative field was noted. CONCLUSION: This study suggests the feasibility and accuracy of EM-IGS in a preclinical validation study for orbital surgery using patient specific 3D-printed skulls. This preclinical study provides the foundation for clinical studies to explore the safety and effectiveness of this technology.

RESUMO

Vascular anomalies comprise a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations related to disturbances in the blood or lymph vessels. They correspond to mainly tumors (especially hemangiomas), characterized by high mitotic activity and proliferation of the vascular endothelium, and malformations, endowed with normal mitotic activity and no hypercellularity or changes in the rate of cell turnover. However, the classifications of these lesions go beyond this dichotomy and consist various systems adapted for and by different clinical subgroups. Thus, the classifications have not reached a consensus and have historically caused confusion regarding the nomenclatures and definitions. Cavernous venous malformations of the orbit, previously called cavernous hemangiomas, are the most common benign vascular orbital lesions in adults. Herein, we have compiled and discussed the various evidences, including clinical, radiological, morphological, and molecular evidence that indicate the non-neoplastic nature of these lesions.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) can present with asymmetric disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of asymmetric TED in an Australian cohort and investigate clinical, biochemical, and radiological associations of asymmetric TED. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of patients with TED who underwent Hertel exophthalmometry and orbital computed tomography (CT) scans. Asymmetry was defined as a difference in the globe protrusion of ≥ 3 mm using Hertel exophthalmometry. Data was collected on patient demographics, clinical disease presentation, thyroid function tests and antibody levels. Muscles volumes were determined by manually segmenting the extraocular muscles on CT scans using a commercially available software. RESULTS: 172 orbits from 86 patients were included in the study. 28 (33%) patients had asymmetric TED. No significant differences were observed in age, gender, thyroid hormone status, anti-thyroid peroxidase levels, thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies, disease activity status, or dysthyroid optic neuropathy between the asymmetric and non-asymmetric groups. The extraocular muscle volumes were significantly higher in the asymmetric orbit compared to its contralateral orbit. CONCLUSION: Asymmetric TED is a reasonably common occurrence in the course of TED. It is associated with higher extraocular muscle volumes, suggesting muscle enlargement as one of the underlying contributors to asymmetric proptosis. Thyroid eye disease should be considered in the differential of asymmetric orbital inflammatory disease.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Awareness of normative values of extra orbital structures would provide useful information to interpret the radiological images better and use them for diagnostic purposes. This study aimed to reveal the average values of major extraocular structures measured on magnetic resonance images. METHODS: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, magnetic resonance (MR) images of 256 orbits of 128 patients were re-interpreted regarding the measurements of major orbital structures. Extraocular muscles, superior ophthalmic vein, and optic nerve-sheath complex were measured on orbital MR images of these patients. The data distributions were presented by box-plot analyses for each parameter, and the measurement results were analyzed regarding gender and age groups. RESULTS: Lateral rectus muscle thickness (LR), inferior rectus muscle thickness (IR), globe position (GP), and interzygomatic line (IZL) values were higher in the male group than in the female group (p values were < 0.001, 0.003, 0.020, and < 0.001 respectively). LR, the thickness of the superior group muscles (SUP GR), IR, superior oblique muscle thickness (SOBL), and the thickness of optic nerve-sheath complex (ON) values indicated a significant relationship between age groups. There was a significant, positive, and low-level correlation between age and LR, SUP GR, and IR values (p values were < 0.001, 0.001, and < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION: This study provides quantitative data on normative values of orbital structures with gender and age group comparisons. Clinicians or surgeons can easily use the measured values to gather diagnostic information from the orbital region.

RESUMO

RATIONALE: Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is considered to be a kind of benign IgG4-related disease, and it is more often found in the nasal cavity. We present a pretty rare case of orbital EAF that is unlike any other reported case for this case is an IgG4 negative orbital EAF and successfully treated by the fronto orbitozygomatic approach surgery. PATIENT CONCERNS: This is a 68-year-old man from a rural area of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, went to our hospital for a 2-month history of vision loss with a local hospital orbital computer tomography which showed that there was a lesion in his left orbit. The inspection of the patient revealed that the patient left eye was protruding outward and the left eyelid unable to complete open or close. And his left eyeball movement had difficulty in all directions. Postoperative pathology diagnosed that this was a case of IgG4-negative EAF case. DIAGNOSES: Orbital EAF. INTERVENTIONS: Surgical radical resection and postoperative glucocorticoid therapy. OUTCOMES: After surgery, the left eye vision of this patient increased to 0.6 tested in the standard logarithmic visual acuity chart. And his left eyeball movement dysfunction and eyeball outward protruding get a partially relief. LESSONS: EAF occurring in the orbit is a very rare disease and immunohistochemical results of EAF can be IgG4 negative.

RESUMO

Thyroid orbitopathy (TO) is the most common cause of orbital tissue inflammation, accounting for about 60% of all orbital inflammations. The inflammatory activity and severity of TO should be diagnosed based on personal experience and according to standard diagnostic criteria. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbit is used not only to identify swelling and to differentiate inflammatory active from non-active TO, but also to exclude other pathologies, such as orbital tumours or vascular lesions. However, a group of diseases can mimic the clinical manifestations of TO, leading to serious diagnostic difficulties, especially when the patient has previously been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder. Diagnostic problems can be presented by cases of unilateral TO, unilateral or bilateral TO in patients with no previous or concomitant symptoms of thyroid disorders, lack of symptoms of eyelid retraction, divergent strabismus, diplopia as the only symptom of the disease, and history of increasing diplopia at the end of the day. The lack of visible efficacy of ongoing immunosuppressive treatment should also raise caution and lead to a differential diagnosis of TO. Differential diagnosis of TO and evaluation of its activity includes conditions leading to redness and/or swelling of the conjunctiva and/or eyelids, and other causes of ocular motility disorders and eye-setting disorders. In this paper, the authors review the most common diseases that can mimic TO or falsify the assessment of inflammatory activity of TO.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In recent years, the endoscopic transorbital (TO) approach has gained increasing interest for the treatment of middle cranial fossa lesions. We propose a technical refinement to the conventional superior eyelid TO approach, which improves the surgical exposure and augments the working angles when targeting the opticocarotid region. METHODS: Four embalmed adult cadaveric specimens (8 sides) were dissected at the Laboratory of Surgical Neuroanatomy of our institution. A TO approach was performed, with removal of the anterior clinoid process and the lateral orbital rim. Subsequently, the MacCarty keyhole was drilled in the superolateral orbital wall. Given that the lesser sphenoid wing was already drilled in the conventional TO craniectomy, the opening of the keyhole was essentially a lateral extension of the craniectomy. RESULTS: The procedure was successfully conducted in all 4 orbits. Clinoidectomy was performed either before or after extending the craniectomy to the MacCarty point. Extending the craniectomy made anterior clinoidectomy easier, by increasing the surgical exposure, and allowing a more lateral entrance for the endoscope. The extension also facilitated frontal lobe retraction, and it facilitated the optic nerve and carotid artery manipulation. Postoperative computed tomography scans showed a minimal 10-mm craniectomy extension, which remained covered by the temporal muscle after reconstruction. CONCLUSIONS: The modified endoscopic TO approach with the extension of the craniectomy to MacCarty point improves surgical access and visualization of the opticocarotid region. This facilitates anterior clinoidectomy and optic nerve decompression. Although it implies judicious instrument manipulation and a larger incision size, further studies can define its potential benefits.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the anatomy of the infraorbital artery (IOA) is crucial for the rejuvenation of the anterior medial aspect of the midface; however, studies adequately describing the anatomy of the IOA branches are lacking, and their connection with the ophthalmic artery branches remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to elucidate the anatomical characteristics of the IOA in its deployment within the lower eyelid using three-dimensional (3D) technology, thereby offering an anatomical foundation for clinical surgical procedures. METHODS: An analysis was conducted on computed tomography scans of 132 cadaveric head sides post-contrast injection, utilizing the Mimics software for reconstruction. The study focused on examining the anastomosis of the IOA, its principal branches, and the branches emanating from the ophthalmic artery. RESULTS: The prevalence of type I IOA was observed at 38.6% (51/132), while Type II IOA was found in 61.4% (81/132) of cases. A 7.6% incidence (10/132) of IOA directly anastomosing with the angular artery was noted. The presence of palpebral branches (PIOA) was identified in 57.6% (76/132) of instances. In the lower eyelid, four distinct distribution patterns of IOA were discerned: The likelihood of Type I PIOA was 5.3%, whereas for Types IIA, IIB, and IIC PIOA, the probabilities were 8.3%, 32.6%, and 11.4%, respectively. The occurrence of the orbital branch of IOA was recorded at 41.7% (55/132). CONCLUSIONS: 3D technology can map IOA variants and identify the deployment patterns of IOA branches in the lower eyelid vascular vesicles at high resolution as a guide in clinical practice.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This research aims to enhance understanding of the anatomy of the supraorbital nerve (SON) and greater occipital nerve (GON), focusing on their exit points, distal trajectories, and variability, utilizing a novel 3D representation. METHODS: Ten cadaveric specimens underwent meticulous dissection, and 3D landmarks were registered. Models were generated from CT scans, and a custom 3D method was employed to visualize nerve trajectories. Measurements, including lengths and distances, were obtained for the SON and GON. RESULTS: The SON exhibited varied exit points, with the lateral branches being the longest. The GON showed distinct branching patterns, which are described relative to various anatomical reference points and planes. No systematic left-right differences were observed for either nerve. 3D analysis revealed significant interindividual variability in nerve trajectories. The closest approximation between the SON and GON occurred between lateral branches. CONCLUSION: The study introduces a novel 3D methodology for analyzing the SON and GON, highlighting considerable anatomical variation. Understanding this variability is crucial for clinical applications and tools targeting the skull innervation. The findings serve as a valuable reference for future research, emphasizing the necessity for personalized approaches in innervation-related interventions.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the alterations in retrobulbar color Doppler imaging (CDI) parameters and retinal/choroidal optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters and their association with the clinical activity and severity in thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) patients. METHODS: In this study, the retrobulbar flow parameters including resistance index (RI), Pulsatile Index(PI), peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end diastolic velocity (EDV) in posterior ciliary artery (PCA), central retinal artery (CRA) and ophthalmic artery (OA) were determined by CDI. Moreover, the retina and choroidal vascularity including the superficial vessel density (SVD), deep vessel density (DVD), choroidal thickness (ChT) and choroidal vascularity, including total choroidal area (TCA), luminal area (LA), stromal area (SA) and Choroidal Vascularity Index (CVI), were determined by OCTA. All patients grouped as active TAO and inactive TAO based on Clinical activity score (CAS). We picked the severe eye among the subjects and compared all parameters between two groups. We analyzed the correlations among those parameters. RESULTS: There was a significant difference in CAS score, proptosis value, ChT, LA, CVI between patients with active TAO and inactive TAO. In the active group, PSV and EDV of PCA were significantly higher than the inactive group. On logistic regression analysis, CAS was closely associated with PSV-PCA. On multiple linear regression, proptosis value was closely associated with ChT, LA, SA and CVI. CONCLUSION: Choroidal vascularization and retrobulbar blood flow were concurrently higher in active TAO patients and several variables in choroid circulation was closely related to TAO clinical features.

RESUMO

Endocrine orbitopathy (EO), also known as Graves' orbitopathy or thyroid-associated orbitopathy, is a self-limiting, immunologically induced co-reaction of the retrobulbar tissue of the eye triggered by an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland. It is particularly associated with Graves' disease and is its most common extrathyroidal manifestation. In addition to typical anamnestic data, characteristic local findings and laboratory changes in immunothyroidism, orbital imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis and management of this disease. This review article provides comprehensive insight into various imaging modalities used to assess morphologic changes associated with EO. A detailed presentation of imaging findings provides a better understanding of orbital physiology.

RESUMO

Experimental maxillofacial surgery is commonly performed in pigs; however, locoregional anesthesia of this area has not been described. This study evaluated the feasibility of a novel maxillary nerve block approach. In part I, cadavers were used to determine anatomic landmarks and assess maxillary nerve dye staining by using 0.03 mL kg-1 of a 1:10 mixture of commercial food dye and 0.5% bupivacaine. In part II, 10 additional pig cadavers underwent bilateral ultrasound-guided maxillary nerve blocks by using trans-infraorbital canal needle placement. The maxillary nerve was harvested and scored based on degree of staining (0 and 1, absent or incomplete staining; 2, staining; >1 cm circumferentially). Intracranial and intraconal spread of dye was evaluated. A Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare infraorbital canal length estimated either externally via landmarks, internally via ultrasound, or actually measured after dissection. In 18 of 20 (90%) injections, successful staining (score = 2) of maxillary nerves was obtained for a nerve length of 2.4 ± 0.3 cm. Two of 20 cases (10%) had inadequate staining (score <2). At dissection of these 2 cases, the needle tip was observed to have collided with an unerupted tooth (third molar). No intracranial or intraconal spread of dye was observed. We detected no statistical differences between the estimated external, estimated internal, or actual dissection methods for measurement of infraorbital canal length (P = 0.3). Ultrasound-guided trans-infraorbital maxillary nerve block in pigs is a feasible technique, warranting further work to evaluate its in vivo efficacy and safety.

RESUMO

The segmentation of the orbit in computed tomography (CT) images plays a crucial role in facilitating the quantitative analysis of orbital decompression surgery for patients with Thyroid-associated Ophthalmopathy (TAO). However, the task of orbit segmentation, particularly in postoperative images, remains challenging due to the significant shape variation and limited amount of labeled data. In this paper, we present a two-stage semi-supervised framework for the automatic segmentation of the orbit in both preoperative and postoperative images, which consists of a pseudo-label generation stage and a semi-supervised segmentation stage. A Paired Copy-Paste strategy is concurrently introduced to proficiently amalgamate features extracted from both preoperative and postoperative images, thereby augmenting the network discriminative capability in discerning changes within orbital boundaries. More specifically, we employ a random cropping technique to transfer regions from labeled preoperative images (foreground) onto unlabeled postoperative images (background), as well as unlabeled preoperative images (foreground) onto labeled postoperative images (background). It is imperative to acknowledge that every set of preoperative and postoperative images belongs to the identical patient. The semi-supervised segmentation network (stage 2) utilizes a combination of mixed supervisory signals from pseudo labels (stage 1) and ground truth to process the two mixed images. The training and testing of the proposed method have been conducted on the CT dataset obtained from the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a mean Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 91.92% with only 5% labeled data, surpassing the performance of the current state-of-the-art method by 2.4%.

RESUMO

To clinically and radiographically evaluate patient-specific titanium meshes via a trans-antral approach for correction of enophthalmos and orbital volume in patients with recent unilateral orbital floor fracture. Seven patients with unilateral orbital floor fractures received patient-specific titanium meshes that were designed based on a mirror-image of the contralateral intact orbit. The patient-specific implants (PSIs) were inserted via a trans-antral approach without endoscopic assistance. The patients were evaluated clinically for signs of diplopia and restricted gaze as well as radiographically for enophthalmos and orbital volume correction. Diplopia was totally resolved in two of the three patients who reported diplopia in the upward gaze. Whereas enophthalmos significantly improved in all but two patients, with a mean value of 0.2229 mm postoperatively compared to 0.9914 mm preoperatively. CT scans showed excellent adaptation of the PSIs to the orbital floor with a mean reduction of the orbital volume from 29.59 cc to 27.21 cc, a mean of 0.6% smaller than the intact orbit. It can be concluded that the proposed PSI can offer good reconstruction of the orbital floor through an isolated intraoral transantral approach with minimal complications. It could of special benefit in extensive orbital floor fractures.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Radiomics analysis of orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows preliminary potential for intravenous glucocorticoid (IVGC) response prediction of thyroid eye disease (TED). The current region of interest segmentation contains only a single organ as extraocular muscles (EOMs). It would be of great value to consider all orbital soft tissues and construct a better prediction model. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we enrolled 127 patients with TED that received 4·5 g IVGC therapy and had complete follow-up examinations. Pre-treatment orbital T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) was acquired for all subjects. Using multi-organ segmentation (MOS) strategy, we contoured the EOMs, lacrimal gland (LG), orbital fat (OF), and optic nerve (ON), respectively. By fused-organ segmentation (FOS), we contoured the aforementioned structures as a cohesive unit. Whole-orbit radiomics (WOR) models consisting of a multi-regional radiomics (MRR) model and a fused-regional radiomics (FRR) model were further constructed using six machine learning (ML) algorithms. RESULTS: The support vector machine (SVM) classifier had the best performance on the MRR model (AUC = 0·961). The MRR model outperformed the single-regional radiomics (SRR) models (highest AUC = 0·766, XGBoost on EOMs, or LR on OF) and conventional semiquantitative imaging model (highest AUC = 0·760, NaiveBayes). The application of different ML algorithms for the comparison between the MRR model and the FRR model (highest AUC = 0·916, LR) led to different conclusions. CONCLUSIONS: The WOR models achieved a satisfactory result in IVGC response prediction of TED. It would be beneficial to include more orbital structures and implement ML algorithms while constructing radiomics models. The selection of separate or overall segmentation of orbital soft tissues has not yet attained its final optimal result.
