Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

360
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

355
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Accessory Structures of the Eye

1.3K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

465
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cherubism, a rare fibro-osseous disease, can cause orbital complications. Surgical debulking and orbital decompression successfully corrected persistent unilateral scleral show in a young adult patient.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Cherubism is a rare genetic disorder causing jaw expansion.
  • Orbital involvement can lead to eye displacement.
  • Bony changes often regress after puberty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of persistent unilateral scleral show post-craniofacial correction for cherubism.
  • To describe the surgical management of residual orbital mass and displacement.

Main Methods:

  • Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the orbits.
  • Surgical mass debulking.
  • Inferomedial orbital decompression.

Main Results:

  • CT revealed a residual right orbital mass with superiorly displaced inferior orbital rim.
  • Surgical intervention fully corrected the abnormal eye and eyelid margin relationship.
  • The patient's unilateral scleral show was resolved.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical intervention is effective for managing residual orbital complications of cherubism.
  • Mass debulking and orbital decompression can restore normal orbital anatomy and function.
  • This case highlights the importance of addressing persistent orbital abnormalities.
