ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the upper and lower blepharoplasty technique associated with canthopexy with double pre septal orbicularis muscle elevation with a single suture in order to evaluate the efficacy of the technique. Methods: This is a retrospective study in which the medical records of 5,882 patients who underwent this technique between January 1999 and July 2015 were evaluated. The frequency and main causes of clinical complications and surgical reoperation were analyzed. Results: The incidence of complications found was 12.7% (n=750), being 0.8% (n=47) due to persistent chemosis, 3% (n=176) due to poor lower eyelid positioning, 4.17% (n=245) due to mild eyelid retraction and 4.8% (n=282) because of mild to moderate chemosis. Conclusion: The technique appears to be effective as it is simple and practical, and capable of resulting in positive functional and aesthetic outcomes with low rates of complications.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: La cirugía oculoplástica estudia y trata los trastornos de párpados, órbita y vías lagrimales. Entre las patologías más importantes por frecuencia e impacto tenemos: ptosis palpebral, blefarochalasis, ectropión y entropión. OBJETIVO: Analizar la experiencia del Hospital El Pino en cuanto al manejo de patología oculoplástica en manos de un cirujano plástico. MATERIALES Y MÉTODO: Estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo. Se revisaron fichas de pacientes operados con diagnóstico de blefarochalasis, ptosis palpebral, ectropión y entropión entre los años 2010 y 2017. Se analizaron datos como edad, sexo, comorbilidades, causa del defecto, cirugía oculoplástica, tipo de anestesia, complicación posoperatoria, tiempo de seguimiento y resultados. RESULTADOS: Entre los años 2010 y 2017 se operaron 79 pacientes con patología oculoplástica, 17 por ptosis palpebral, 42 por blefarochalasis, 14 por ectropión y 6 por entropión, siendo la principal causa senil (93,7%). Las cirugías realizadas fueron: pexia del elevador para Ptosis palpebral, blefaroplastía para blefarochalasis y para ectropión-entropión tarsal strip. La principal técnica anestésica utilizada fue anestesia local + sedación (54,4%). Entre el total de complicaciones posoperatorias tenemos: lagoftalmo (2 casos), ectropión residual (3 casos), conjuntivitis (3 casos), dehiscencia de herida (2 casos) y hematoma palpebral (1 caso). Se reintervinieron 6 pacientes por complicaciones. Los resultados obtenidos según la evaluación subjetiva del cirujano plástico y pacientes fueron regular (5 casos), bueno (20 casos) y muy bueno (54 casos). CONCLUSIÓN: El manejo de la patología oculoplástica requiere en su mayoría de cirugías ambulatorias con buenos resultados y poca morbilidad, lo cual es factible de realizar en un hospital público. Creemos necesario el uso de algún instrumento objetivo para evaluar de mejor manera los defectos palpebrales y su corrección.


INTRODUCTION: The oculoplastic surgery studies and treats disorders of the eyelids, orbit and lacrimal ways. Among the most important pathologies by frequency and impact are: palpebral ptosis, blepharochalasis, ectropion and entropion. AIM: Analyze the experience of El Pino Hospital regarding the management of oculoplastic pathology in the hands of a plastic surgeon. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Descriptive and retrospective study. We reviewed files of patients operated with diagnosis of blepharochalasis, palpebral ptosis, ectropion and entropion between the years 2010 and 2017. Data were analyzed as age, sex, comorbidities, cause of the defect, oculoplastic surgery, type of anesthesia, postoperative complication, follow-up time and results. RESULTS: Between the years 2010 and 2017, 79 patients with oculoplastic pathology operated, 17 for palpebral ptosis, 42 for blefarochalasis, 14 for ectropion and 6 for entropion, being the main senile cause (93,7%). The surgeries performed were: elevator pexis for palpebral ptosis, blepharoplasty for blefarochalasis and for ectropion-entropion tarsal strip. The main anesthetic technique used was local anesthesia + sedation (54,4%). Among the total postoperative complications, we have: lagophthalmos (2 cases), residual ectropion (3 cases), conjunctivitis (3 cases), wound dehiscence (2 cases) and palpebral hematoma (1 case). Six patients were reoperated due to complications. The results obtained according to the subjective evaluation of the plastic surgeon were regular (5 cases), good (20 cases) and very good (54 cases). CONCLUSION: Management of oculoplastic pathology requires mostly ambulatory surgeries with good results and low morbidity, which is feasible to perform in a public hospital. We believe it is necessary to use some objective instrument to better evaluate the palpebral defects and their correction.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A reconstrução de pálpebra inferior representa um desafio peculiar ao cirurgião plástico, uma vez que traduz uma região facial de importância estética e funcional. O objetivo é apresentar uma técnica opcional para a reconstrução de defeitos da pálpebra inferior com o retalho cutâneo zigomáticopalpebral. Esta técnica mostra uma alternativa nos casos de pele escleroatrófica de pessoas idosas, bem como para pessoas jovens, que não apresentam redundância da pele palpebral superior, impossibilitando por exemplo o uso de enxertos de pálpebra superior ou retalhos como o de Fricke ou Tripier. Métodos: Os autores mostram a indicação do retalho em casos de ectrópio cicatricial, reconstrução após ressecção de neoplasias, associação com outros retalhos como de Hughes ou para cobertura de enxertos cartilaginosos. É um retalho de transposição composto por pele e subcutâneo, randomizado. A técnica baseia-se no uso de retalho local, de características muito semelhantes à área do defeito, o que permite mimetização, segurança e exequibilidade. Resultados: Os resultados imediatos e tardios são satisfatórios e bem aceitos pelos pacientes e pela equipe cirúrgica em termos estéticos e funcionais, com oclusão palpebral adequada e lubrificação ocular preservada. Conclusão: O retalho zigomático-palpebral apresenta como vantagens a simplicidade de execução, sangramento mínimo, baixa morbidade de área doadora e feito sob anestesia local. O objetivo de reconstruir defeitos da pálpebra é restaurar a anatomia e função. Esta pode ser uma tarefa desafiadora, especialmente em defeitos maiores que podem estar presentes nos procedimentos oncológicos em jovens e em idosos com pele escleroatrófica e mínima frouxidão.


Introduction: Lower eyelid reconstruction represents a unique challenge to plastic surgeons, since it involves a facial region of aesthetic and functional importance. The objective is to present an optional technique for the reconstruction of lower eyelid defects using zygomatic-palpebral skin flap. This technique represents an alternative in cases of scleroatrophic skin in older patients, and for young people who do not have an upper eyelid skin redundancy, which prevents, for example, the use of upper eyelid grafts or flaps such as those of Fricke or Tripier. Methods: The authors describe the flap used in cases of cicatricial ectropion and reconstruction after resection of neoplasms and association with other flaps, such as those of Hughes, or for coverage of cartilage grafts. The flap consisted of a transposition flap made up of skin and underlying subcutaneous tissues, randomized . The technique was based on the use of a local flap with highly similar characteristics to the defect area, which allowed it to mimic functions, while being safe and feasible. Results: The immediate and late results in terms of aesthetics and function were satisfactory and well accepted by patients and the surgical team, with adequate eyelid occlusion and preserved ocular lubrication. Conclusion: The advantages of the zygomatic-palpebral flap are its ease of execution, minimal bleeding, low morbidity of the donor area, and the use of local anesthesia. The reconstruction of eyelid defects aims to restore anatomy and function. This can be a challenging task, especially in cases with larger defects that may be present after oncologic procedures both in young and old patients presenting with scleroatrophic skin and minimal tissue laxity.

ABSTRACT

El anquilobléfaron es la fusión parcial o total de los bordes palpebrales. En dependencia de la localización, este puede clasificarse como medial o interno y lateral o externo. Es una malformación congénita que constituye una condición muy infrecuente. Puede estar genéticamente determinada, aunque su causa exacta o mecanismo de producción no se conoce claramente. El primer caso corresponde a una lactante femenina, de 57 días de nacida, antecedentes de madre con paladar hendido ya operado. Al examen oftalmológico se constata en el ojo derecho fusión a nivel de todo el borde palpebral y en el izquierdo brida hacia sector temporal, además de presentar paladar hendido. El segundo caso, es una paciente femenina de 24 meses de edad, que en el examen ocular se observa brida que fusiona ambos bordes palpebrales del ojo izquierdo, en zona temporal. Se confirma diagnóstico de anquilobléfaron. En el primer caso se decide, por la edad, mantener una conducta expectante y posponer el tratamiento quirúrgico hasta que se realice la cirugía de la fisura labial, la cual se realiza a los 3 meses. En ambos casos la conducta fue quirúrgica, con buenos resultados estéticos y funcionales. El diagnóstico de esta anomalía es clínico y el examen físico minucioso, el cual, unido a los conocimientos del especialista sobre estas anomalías, juega un papel primordial. El tratamiento siempre es quirúrgico, el procedimiento a ejecutar es sencillo, incluso cuando requiere de reconstrucción palpebral(AU)


Ankyloblepharon is the partial or total fusion of eyelid margins. According to its location, it may be classified as medial or internal and lateral or external. This congenital malformation is a very rare condition. Though it may be genetically determined, its exact cause or development mechanism is not clearly known. The first case is a 57-day-old female infant whose mother had undergone cleft palate surgery. Ophthalmological examination revealed fusion of the entire eyelid margin of the right eye and bridling toward the temporal sector of the left eye, as well as a cleft palate. The second case is a 24-month-old female patient whose ophthalmological examination revealed bridling fusing the two eyelid margins of the left eye in the temporal zone. Ankyloblepharon diagnosis was confirmed. In the first case, due to the patient's age it was decided to postpone surgical treatment until lip fissure surgery was performed at 3 months. In both cases management was surgical, with good esthetic and functional results. Diagnosis of this condition is based on meticulous clinical and physical examination, supported by the decisive role played by the specialist's knowledge about these anomalies. Treatment is always surgical and the procedure to be performed is simple, even when palpebral reconstruction is required(AU)

ABSTRACT

El lagoftalmo secundario a daño del nervio facial trae como consecuencia alteraciones funcionales y estéticas que pueden tributar a serias complicaciones corneales y eventualmente a la ceguera. El correcto manejo depende de su severidad y del tiempo de recuperación. El implante de pesas de oro en el párpado superior juega un importante papel en el tratamiento a mediano y largo plazo de esta afección. Se presenta un paciente masculino de 74 años con síntomas y signos de parálisis facial periférica derecha, incluyendo lagoftalmo ipsilateral con gran deterioro corneal. Se le implantó una pesa de oro pretarsal en el párpado superior para corregir el lagoftalmo paralítico y se obtuvieron excelentes resultados funcionales y estéticos. Mientras novedosas modalidades de tratamiento se encuentran en el horizonte con gran potencial para alterar el algoritmo de tratamiento actual, este proceder continúa siendo una técnica confiable, segura y efectiva para la rehabilitación permanente del párpado superior(AU)


Lagophthalmos secondary to facial nerve damage brings about functional and esthetic alterations which may result in serious corneal complications and eventual blindness. Appropriate management depends on severity and recovery time. Gold weight implantation in the upper eyelid plays an important role in the medium- and long-term treatment of this condition. A male 74-year-old patient presents with signs and symptoms of right-side peripheral facial paralysis, including ipsilateral lagophthalmos with great corneal deterioration. A pretarsal gold weight was implanted in the upper eyelid to correct the paralytic lagophthalmos, and excellent functional and esthetic results were obtained. While novel treatment modes lie in the horizon with great potential to alter the algorithm of current treatment, this procedure continues to be a reliable, safe and effective technique for the permanent rehabilitation of the upper eyelid(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A ptose palpebral é uma afecção comum na prática clínica na qual uma perfeita avaliação torna-se mandatória. Definimos ptose quando a margem palpebral encontra-se abaixo de 2 mm da junção córneo escleral e pode ser classificada em leve, moderada e grave. Existem inúmeras técnicas de reparo e a escolha dependerá da classificação da função do músculo levantador. Métodos: Foram analisados de forma prospectiva, no período de março de 2013 a maio de 2015, quatorze (n = 14) pacientes submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico de ptose palpebral moderada e grave (n = 21). Inúmeros fatores foram estudados, tais como grau de ptose e função do músculo elevador da pálpebra, tipo de técnica de reparo, complicações imediatas e tardias, etc. Resultados: Quatorze pacientes foram opera-dos, totalizando 21 pálpebras, sendo que, 85% foram de etiologia adquirida e 15% congênita. Com relação ao grau de ptose, 64,3% (n = 9) foram moderadas e 35,7% (n = 5) graves. No que tange à função do músculo levantador, encontramos função boa 28,5% (n = 4), moderada 28,5% (n = 4) e pobre 43% (n = 6). Em relação às com-plicações, 2 casos de hiperemia conjutival e um caso de edema. Obtivemos um alto índice de satisfação com 85,7% (n = 12), com baixas taxas de complicações. Conclusão: A ptose palpebral é uma enfermidade comum na prática clínica e exige por parte do cirurgião um perfeito conhecimento anatômico da delicada estrutura palpebral e também de sua fisiopatologia. Uma perfeita avaliação desse paciente torna-se mandatória para o emprego do tratamento mais adequado.


Introduction: Eyelid ptosis is a common condition in clinical practice for which a complete evaluation is mandatory. Ptosis is defined when the eyelid margin is 2 mm below the corneoscleral junction and can be classified as mild, moderate, and severe. There are numerous repair techniques, and the choice will depend on the classification of the function of the levator muscle. Methods: We evaluated prospectively, from March 2013 to May 2015, 14 patients who underwent surgical treatment of moderate and severe ptosis (n = 21). Several factors were studied, such as degree of ptosis and function of the eyelid levator muscle, type of repair technique, and immediate and late complications. Results: Fourteen patients (21 eyelids) underwent operation. The etiology was acquired in 85% of the cases and congenital in 15%. With respect to the degree of ptosis, 64.3% (n = 9) of the cases were moderate and 35.7% (n = 5) were severe. With respect to the muscle function of the levator, good, moderate, and poor functions were observed in 28.5% (n = 4), 28.5% (n = 4), and 43% (n = 6) of the cases, respectively. With regard to complications, 2 cases of conjunctival hyperemia and one case of edema were observed. We obtained a high satisfaction rate of 85.7% (n = 12), with low complication rates. Conclusion: Eyelid ptosis is a common presentation in clinical practice and requires on the part of the surgeon a detailed anatomical knowledge of the delicate structure of the eyelid and its pathophysiology. A complete evaluation of these patients is mandatory for the employment of the most appropriate treatment.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction after upper blepharoplasty and to correlate the findings with changes between preoperative and postoperative eyelid measurements using a digital imaging system. Methods: A total of 60 eyelids in 30 patients with dermatochalasis who were treated in the ambulatory center of the Department of Oculoplastic Surgery at the Anápolis Ophthalmology Hospital were evaluated. Patients ranged from 40 to 80 years of age. Photographs were taken before the upper blepharoplasty procedure and 90 days after as well. The images were transferred to the ImageJ 1.34n program. The parameters analyzed were palpebral fissure height in primary position and margin-crease distance. The correlations between these measurements and patient satisfaction 90 days after surgery were evaluated. Results: This study revealed an increase in the margin-crease distance after upper blepharoplasty and a high positive correlation (0.64) between the increase in this height and the level of satisfaction that the patients attributed to the surgery. There was no statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative palpebral fissure heights. Conclusion: The margin-crease distance may serve as a quantitative measurement of a good cosmetic and functional outcome, since it has been found to be strong correlated with patient satisfaction.


Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar de maneira quantitativa e qualitativa o resultado pós-operatório e a satisfação de pacientes submetidos à blefaroplastia superior e correlacionar com as medidas palpebrais antes e após a cirurgia utilizando o sistema de imagem digital. Métodos: Foram avaliadas 60 pálpebras de 30 pacientes com dermatocálase atendidos no ambulatório de Plástica Ocular do Hospital Oftalmológico de Anápolis, com idade entre 40 e 80 anos. Foram realizadas fotografias antes e 90 dias após blefaroplastia superior. Essas imagens foram transferidas para o programa Image J 1.34n e analisados os parâmetros de altura da fenda palpebral em posição primária do olhar e distância margem-sulco palpebral. Foram avaliadas as correlações dessas medidas com a satisfação do paciente após 90 dias de pós-operatório. Resultados: O estudo mostrou um aumento da distância margem-sulco palpebral após blefaroplastia superior e uma correlação fortemente positiva (0,64) entre o aumento dessa medida e a nota de avaliação atribuída pelo paciente à cirurgia. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante na altura da fenda palpebral antes e após a cirurgia. Conclusão: A utilização da medida da distância margem-sulco pode servir como parâmetro quantitativo de um bom resultado estético e funcional, apresentando uma forte correlação com a satisfação dos pacientes no pós-operatório.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the Abbreviated National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ 9), which is shorter than those previously published, as a tool for assessing vision-related quality of life in patients with ptosis and dermatochalasis. Methods: This is a cohort study of 46 patients who underwent blepharoptosis and/or upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery by a single surgeon (CN) in 2013 in a public, academic, ambulatory care referral center. Patients included 29 who underwent blepharoplasty, 11 who underwent ptosis surgery, and 6 who underwent combined surgery. The NEI-VFQ 9 was administered pre- and postoperatively, and the composite scores were compared using Student's t-test. Survey duration was timed in a subset of patients. The hypothesis was that the NEI VFQ 9 could detect a statistically significant improvement in composite score after surgical intervention. Results: The mean pre- and postoperative NEI VFQ 9 composite scores were 74.9 and 86.8, respectively, in the blepharoplasty-only group (P<0.0001), 72.07 and 86.41, respectively, in the ptosis-only group (P=0.004), and 75.8 and 87.2, respectively, in the combined group (P=0.022). There was no correlation between the gain in composite score and the change in upper eyelid margin to reflex distance. Twenty-five patients were timed filling out the survey, and the mean was 2.3 min. Conclusions: The NEI VFQ 9 consistently demonstrates a significant increase in visual function for blepharoptosis and dermatochalasis patients. Thus, it may be a useful tool for assessing vision-related quality of life in patients with ptosis and dermatochalasis.


RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar o Questionário Abreviado de Função Visual do National Eye Institute (NEI VFQ 9) como uma ferramenta para avaliar a visão relacionada com a qualidade de vida (QoL) em pacientes com blefaroptose e dermatocálase. Método: Estudo de coorte de blefaroptose e dermatocálase pacientes tratados por um único cirurgião (CN) em 2013. O acompanhamento foi de 2-3 meses. Pacientes em um centro de referência acadêmico para a atenção pública ambulatorial com ptose funcional e/ou dermatocálase de pálpebra superior foram avaliados prospectivamente utilizando o NEI-VFQ 9. Quarenta e seis pacientes completaram o estudo: 29 pacientes se submeteram somente à blefaroplastia, 11 apenas à cirurgia de ptose, e 6 pacientes à cirurgia combinada. Foram excluídos pacientes com outra cirurgia simultânea da pálpebra. O teste foi repetido em uma visita pós-operatória. A duração teste foi cronometrada em um subgrupo de pacientes. Escores compostos pré e pós-operatórios foram comparados com o teste T de Student. O desfecho principal foi a pontuação composta. Os autores propõem que a NEI VFQ 9 seria capaz de detectar uma melhora estatisticamente significativa na pontuação composta após a intervenção cirúrgica. Resultados: No grupo de blefaroplastia apenas, o NEI VFQ 9 apresentou a média composta de 74,9 e 86,8 no pré e pós-operatório, respectivamente (p<0,0001). Para os pacientes submetidos apenas à cirurgia de ptose, a pontuação média composta foi 72,07 e 86,41, no pré e pós-operatório, respectivamente (p=0,004). No grupo de cirurgias combinadas combinação, a pontuação composta média pré-operatória foi de 75,8, e a pós-operatória foi de 87,2 (p=0,022). Não houve correlação entre o ganho de pontuação composta e a mudança no MRD1. Vinte e cinco pacientes foram cronometrados ao preencher o teste, a média foi de 2,3 minutos. Conclusões: O NEI VFQ 9 demonstra consistentemente um aumento na função visual para pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de blefaroptose e dermatocálase, sendo um instrumento de pesquisa mais curto do que daqueles publicados anteriormente.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACTLife expectancy is increasing in most countries. With increasing age, many individuals may develop involutional ophthalmic diseases, such as eyelid aging. Dermatochalasis, ptosis, ectropion, and entropion are common disorders in middle-aged and older adults. This review outlines the pathophysiology and clinical management of these involutional eyelid disorders. Recently, a decrease in elastic fibers with ultrastructural abnormalities and an overexpression of elastin-degrading enzymes have been demonstrated in involutional ectropion and entropion. This may be the consequence of local ischemia, inflammation, and/or chronic mechanical stress. Eyelid aging with progressive loss of tone and laxity may affect the ocular surface and adnexal tissues, resulting in different clinical symptoms and signs. Surgical management depends on the appropriate correction of the underlying anatomical defect.


RESUMOA expectativa de vida está aumentando na maioria dos países. Com o envelhecimento, muitos indivíduos desenvolverão doenças oculares crônicas e involucionais, tais como o envelhecimento palpebral. Dermatocálase, ptose, ectrópio e entrópio são doenças frequentes em adultos e idosos. Esta revisão destaca a fisiopatologia e a clínica de doenças palpebrais involucionais. Recentemente, uma diminuição de fibras elásticas com anormalidades ultraestruturais e um aumento de enzimas degradantes de elastina foram demonstrados em ectrópio e entrópio involucionais. Isto pode ser consequência de isquemia local, inflamação e/ou estresse mecânico crônico. O envelhecimento palpebral com perda progressiva de tônus e flacidez pode afetar a superfície ocular e os anexos oculares, resultando em sinais e sintomas clínicos diferentes. O tratamento cirúrgico depende da correção apropriada do defeito anatômico subjacente.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: describir los resultados del tratamiento quirúrgico aplicado a los pacientes adultos mayores con diagnóstico de afecciones palpebrales seniles. Métodos: estudio descriptivo en pacientes atendidos en el Servicio de Cirugía Plástica Ocular en el Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer, entre enero y julio de 2011. La muestra estuvo constituida por 174 pacientes operados con diagnóstico de afecciones palpebrales de causa involutiva durante ese periodo. Estos fueron evaluados a las 24 horas de la cirugía, a los 7 días, luego a los 15 días, al mes y por último, a los 3 meses. En estas consultas de seguimiento se les realizó examen ocular minucioso en dependencia de la afección palpebral. Las variables que se utilizaron fueron: edad, sexo, color de piel, afección palpebral degenerativa, complicaciones posoperatorias y corrección de la afección después de la cirugía. Resultados: la dermatochalasis fue la entidad más frecuente (n= 62; 36 por ciento) seguida del ectropión senil (n= 40; 23 por ciento). El sexo femenino predominó (n= 127; 73 por ciento), así como el grupo de edad de 60-69 años (n= 92; 52 por ciento). En la mayoría de los pacientes la cirugía logró la corrección del defecto palpebral. Conclusiones: el tratamiento quirúrgico constituye una buena opción para los pacientes adultos mayores con afecciones palpebrales degenerativas


Objective: to describe the surgical outcomes in elderly patients diagnosed with senile palpebral diseases. Methods: Aadescriptive study conducted in patients treated in the Ocular Plastic Surgery in the period of January to July 2011. The sample included 174 patients with palpebral involutional diseases during this period. The surgical patients were evaluated at 24 hours, 7 days, 15 days, one month and 3 months after the surgery. In these follow-up visits, thorough ocular examination was performed depending on the eyelid condition. The analyzed variables were age, sex, race, degenerative palpebral disease, postoperative complications and defect correction. Results: dermatochalasis was the most common condition (n=62; 36 percent) followed by senile ectropion (n=40; 23 percent). Females predominated (n=127; 73 percent) as well as the 60-69 years age group (92 patients; 52 percent). In most patients, the surgery achieved palpebral defect correction.Conclusions: the surgical treatment is a good option for elderly patients with degenerative palpebral conditions

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To report the outcomes of acquired lower eyelid epiblepharon after various surgeries in thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients. METHODS: A retrospective review of the medical records of 53 TAO patients with acquired lower eyelid epiblepharon between October 1999 and June 2011 was performed. Data were collected on demographics, type of lower eyelid epiblepharon, the detailed surgical history such as orbital decompression, retraction repair, or epiblepharon repair and surgical outcomes including follow-up period, recurrence of epiblepharon, and post-operative complications. RESULTS: Among the 53 TAO patients with acquired lower eyelid epiblepharon, 25 eyes of 17 patients underwent surgical management; 6 eyes of orbital decompression, 1 eye of orbital decompression followed by retraction repair, 2 eyes of orbital decompression followed by epiblepharon repair, 6 eyes of lower eyelid retraction repair, and 10 eyes of epiblepharon repair. Twenty two lower eyelid epiblepharons (88%) were resolved after final surgical treatment without complication during mean 16.2 months (SD, +/-29.9 months) of follow up period; three of 6 epiblepharons that remained after orbital decompression underwent subsequent surgical management of retraction repair or epiblepharon repair, and epiblepharons were well-corrected. Mean amount of lower eyelid retraction was decreased from 1.68 mm (SD, +/-1.17 mm) to 0.29 mm (SD, +/-0.44 mm) after surgery, regardless of the type of surgery (n = 25, p < 0.000, Wilcoxon signed rank test). CONCLUSIONS: Acquired lower eyelid epiblepharon of TAO should be managed sequentially according to the general serial order of surgical managements in TAO; orbital decompression, correction of lower eyelid retraction and epiblepharon repair. Acquired lower eyelid epiblepharon was well resolved after surgical management in consecutive order, especially after repair of the lower eyelid retraction with a graft, or lower eyelid epiblepharon repair. Decreased lower eyelid retraction with a resolution of epiblepharon after surgery implied that lower eyelid retraction was associated with lower eyelid epiblepharon.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Estudar os efeitos clínicos da secreção das glândulas salivares labiais na lubrificação das cavidades anoftálmicas secas, avaliar a durabilidade dos resultados e apresentar a técnica do transplante. A aplicação desse procedimento em cavidades anoftálmicas secas é inédita na literatura. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo das cirurgias de enxertos glândulo-mucosos, compostos pela mucosa labial e glândulas salivares subjacentes, colocados no fórnice conjuntival de 5 pacientes com cavidades anoftálmicas que apresentavam grave xeroftalmia e retração dos fórnices conjuntivais. As cirurgias foram realizadas durante o período de julho/00 a janeiro/09. Dois pacientes já haviam sido tratados previamente com enxertos de mucosa ou de pele. A técnica do procedimento é descrita em detalhes. Os parâmetros que serviram para a análise comparativa dos resultados foram o quadro clínico, o aspecto do revestimento da cavidade, o ressecamento da superfície da prótese e a frequência do uso de colírios lubrificantes. RESULTADOS: Em todos os casos foi constatada a integração do enxerto e a melhora dos parâmetros avaliados. A evolução mostrou persistência e estabilidade dos resultados. CONCLUSÕES: A lubrificação da superfície da cavidade produzida pela secreção salivar mostrou ser eficiente, bem tolerada e constante, resultando maior conforto do uso da prótese. Infere-se que essa melhor lubrificação obtida ajuda a prevenir a evolução do processo de retração da cavidade. O transplante das glândulas salivares labiais para o fórnice conjuntival demonstrou ser um procedimento de fácil execução, acessível a qualquer cirurgião oftalmologista.


PURPOSE: To study the clinical effects of labial salivary glands' secretion used as ocular lubricant in anophthalmic cavities with severe xerophthalmia; to evaluate the evolution of the results; and to present the surgical technique. This procedure application in dry anophthalmic cavities is new in the literature. METHODS: Prospective study of patients presenting anophthalmic cavities with severe xerophthalmia and conjunctival fornix retraction treated with labial salivary glands transplantation to the conjunctival fornices. The surgeries were performed in five patients during the period of July 2000 to January 2009. In two cases the fornix retraction was previously treated with mucosa or skin graft. The surgical procedure technique is described in details. The postoperative comparative analysis was based on the clinical picture, the cavity surface aspect, the dryness of the cavity and prosthesis and the frequency of lubricant eye drops use. RESULTS: In all cases both graft integration and improvement of the evaluated parameters were observed. The evolution proved the persistence and stability of the results. CONCLUSION: The salivary secretion produced by the transplanted labial glands proved to be efficient as conjunctival lubricant, well tolerated and permanent, making the use of the prosthesis more comfortable. This improvement helps to prevent the progression of the cavity retraction process. Labial salivary glands graft into the anophtalmic cavity is a simple procedure and accessible to any ophthalmic surgeon.

ABSTRACT

Sixteen years after scleral buckle surgery with a hydrogel episcleral exoplant, a 43-year-old woman presented with progressive binocular diplopia, ptosis, and an expanding mass in her upper eyelid. She underwent surgical removal of the hydrogel exoplant through an anterior approach. The exoplant proved to be friable, fragmented, and encapsulated in a fibrous tissue; the exoplant was removed in its entirety. Postoperatively, the eyelid mass resolved, while her diplopia and ptosis improved slightly.

ABSTRACT

Ocular complications from facial nerve paralysis can be quite devastating. Facial nerve paralysis results in cosmetic as well as functional problems. Paralysis of the upper eyelids leads to lagophthalmos, which results in incomplete closure of the lid over the cornea, leading to potential complication of corneal ulceration. The management of the affected eye in patients with facial palsy has been improved. Previously, ointment, eye drops, taping, partial or complete tarsorrhaphy was the primary treatment for inability to close the eyelid. Other mechanical techniques for reanimating lid closure are palpebral springs, encircling the upper and lower eyelids with silicone or fascia lata and temporalis muscle transfer. The most popular and widely used static procedure in facial nerve palsy is the upper eyelid gold weight implant. Gold eyelid implants are designed for the gravity assisted treatment of the functional defect of lagophthalmos resulting from facial paralysis. We report a case of a patient with facial paralysis who underwent gold weight implantation of the upper eyelid for correction of paralytic lagophthalmos.

ABSTRACT

La enfermedad de Graves corresponde a un síndrome que comprende: bocio hipertiroídeo habitualmente, oftalmopatía asociada a la tiroides y dermatopatía. No se cuenta con estadísticas nacionales, sin embargo la mayoría de los estudios internacionales muestran una frecuencia mayor en la mujer. Desde el punto de vista del manejo quirúrgico de esta enfermedad, éste se basa en tres etapas fundamentales: descompresión orbitaria, cirugía de los músculos extraoculares y finalmente la cirugía de reposicionamiento palpebral, no todos los pacientes requieren estos tres tipos de tratamiento, pero en caso de necesitarlos esta debe ser la secuencia. La indicación quirúrgica dependerá de la fase en que se encuentre el paciente, idealmente deberá realizarse en la fase de inactividad de la enfermedad caracterizada por la ausencia de signología inflamatoria periocular. Este artículo está destinado a mostrar las alternativas quirúrgicas en el tratamiento de las complicaciones oculares de la Orbitopatía de Graves orientado principalmente hacia el exoftálmo y la patología palpebral


Graves' disease is a syndrome comprising usually hyperthyroid goiter, thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy and dermopathy. We do not have national statistics, however International studies show a grater frequency in females. Surgical management is based in three stages: orbital decompression, eye muscle surgery and finally eyelid repositioning, not every patient needs all of these surgical treatments, but in case they do need them this must be the sequence. Surgical indication will depend on the phase of the disease; ideally it will be performed in the phase of inactivity of the disease, which is characterized by the absence of periocular inflammatory signs. This article describes the surgical alternatives in the treatment of the ocular complications in the Graves' orbitopathy, oriented mainly towards exophthalmos and palpebral disease

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a three-year-old male child who presented with a single painless subcutaneously located upper lid mass of 1.2 × 1.5 cm with a central depression. The mass could be easily separated from overlying skin on complete excision biopsy and showed a never described before whitish brain like appearance consisting of multiple lobes and gyri, which histopathologically proved to be molluscum contagiosum (MC). Tests to investigate underlying immunodeficiency did not show any evidence of immunocompromised state.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Blefaroespasmo essencial é bilateral, progressivo e pode levar a cegueira funcional. Predomina em pacientes do sexo feminino e sua causa é desconhecida. Relato do Caso: Paciente de 52 anos, com espasmos palpebrais progressivos em dois anos de evolução, recebeu cinco aplicações de toxina botulínica, com resposta apenas após as primeiras infiltrações. Na avaliação inicial, apresentava fenda palpebral com abertura voluntária máxima de 2 mm. Foi submetida à ressecção de um fuso de pele da pálpebra superior contendo o músculo orbicular e, pela mesma via de acesso, foram ressecados os músculos corrugadores, com preservação dos nervos supra-orbitários e supratrocleares. No pós-operatório, evoluiu com abertura voluntária máxima da fenda palpebral de 12 mm. Com cinco meses de pós-operatório, houve recidiva parcial, com fenda palpebral de 8 mm. Submetida a tratamento com toxina botulínica, em menor dose, apresentou abertura de 10 mm. Conclusão: Esta técnica cirúrgica alternativa para o tratamento do blefaroespasmo demonstrou resultado semelhante às técnicas descritas na literatura, porém ressecando os músculos orbiculares apenas superiormente e os corrugadores pela mesma via de acesso palpebral, preservando a inervação da região frontal.


Background: Essential blepharospasm is bilateral, progressive and can lead to functional blindness. It predominates in female patients and its cause is unknown. Case report: A52-year patient, with progressive eyelid spasms along two years of evolution, received five applications of botulinum toxin, responding only to the first ones. In the initial evaluation she showed a palpebral fissure of 2 mm with maximum voluntary opening. She was submitted to resection of an ellipse of skin of upper eyelid along with the orbicular muscle and, by thesame surgical access, the corrugators muscles were resected, with preservation of the supra-orbitaland supra-trochlear nerves. In the postoperative period, she evolved with maximum voluntary opening of the palpebral fissure of 12 mm. With five months postoperatively, there was partial recurrence, with palpebral fissure of 8 mm. Receiving botulinum toxin on lower dose, she presented opening of 10 mm. Conclusion: This alternative surgical technique for treatment of blepharospasm showed a similar result to the techniques described in the literature, however resecting the orbicularis muscle only superiorly and the corrugators by the same surgical approach, preserving the innervations of the frontal region.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A reconstrução da pálpebra inferior se constitui em um importante capitulo de reconstruçãofacial, tanto por seu aspecto estético quanto por sua importância funcional, evitandocomprometimentos oculares mais graves. Dissertamos neste artigo sobre uma excelente opçãoterapêutica para esse tipo de reconstrução, especialmente em casos de defeitos extensos da pálpebra.Relato dos casos: Foram operados dois pacientes, em junho de 2008, que apresentavamdefeitos da pálpebra inferior entre 50% e 75% da mesma após ressecção de tumores de pele.Esses pacientes foram submetidos à reconstrução com retalho de Imre, descrito, em 1903, pelocirurgião Joseph Imre, seguindo sua marcação original, evoluindo com resultado efetivo quantoa sua importância funcional e estética. Os casos operados apresentaram bom posicionamento daspálpebras inferiores, sem ectrópio, apresentando apenas uma leve esclera aparente, porém semrepercussão funcional em um dos casos operados. As cicatrizes resultantes localizaram-se nossulcos naturais da face. Discussão: Consideramos que a técnica proposta por Imre se adequaàs necessidades da reconstrução palpebral inferior, proporcionando bom resultado funcionale estético, com pouca morbidade de área doadora. Conclusão: O retalho de Imre se constituiem mais uma opção para reconstrução da porção medial da pálpebra inferior, sendo de fácilexecução e reprodutível, mesmo em grandes defeitos da mesma.


Introduction: The inferior eyelid reconstruction is one of the important issues about facialreconstruction. Besides its aesthetical importance, there is its functional one, avoiding ocularproblems. In this article we present an excellent option of eyelid reconstruction - the Imreflap - especially in defects greater than 50% of extension. Cases report: In July 2008, twopatients were gone under surgery because skin cancer on inferior eyelid. The ejelid defectswere about 50 to 75% of the extension of them. The Imre flap was described first by JosephImre, in 1903. His original technique was followed and the results were functional and aestheticaleffective. Discussion: We considered that the Imre flap is applicable and useful toreconstruct the inferior eyelid, with little morbidity of the donor area and a great final result.Conclusion: The Imre flap is one more option to reconstruct the inferior eyelid portion. It’sa reproducible and an easy technique available to reconstruct large defects of inferior eyelid.
