Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...
Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study analyzed 116 ocular dermoid cases, finding orbital dermoids most common. Corneal dermoids were more prevalent in females, and Goldenhar syndrome was frequently observed.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Ocular dermoids are congenital choristomas.
  • They can occur in various locations including the orbit, conjunctiva, and cornea.
  • Associated syndromes like Goldenhar syndrome can impact management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the demographic and clinical characteristics of 116 ocular dermoid cases.
  • To identify the prevalence of different types of ocular dermoids.
  • To investigate associated conditions and treatment needs.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series.
  • Review of clinical records for 116 patients with ocular dermoids.
  • Descriptive statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • Orbital dermoids (44%) were most frequent, followed by dermolipomas (38%) and corneal dermoids (18%).
  • Females constituted 65% of cases, and 46% were detected at birth.
  • Amblyopia (14%) and strabismus (6.8%) were noted secondary manifestations; Goldenhar syndrome occurred in 7.5%.

Conclusions:

  • Orbital dermoids are the most common type, contrary to some reports.
  • Corneal dermoids showed higher prevalence in females.
  • Goldenhar syndrome is the most frequent associated syndromic entity.
