[Surgical rehabilitation in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy; favorable results of orbital decompression via coronal approach].

Bilateral decompression of the orbit by a coronal approach was performed for cosmetic rehabilitation in 53 female patients with proptosis in the non-inflammatory stage after Graves' ophthalmopathy. Proptosis reduction averaged 5.9 mm Hertel value one year after surgery. All patients were satisfied with the cosmetic result obtained. Advantages of the technique used are: good access to all orbital walls facilitating adequate proptosis reduction; no visible scars after surgery; only very few complications. In our group there was no loss of visual acuity and the incidence of diplopia after surgery of only 4% is the lowest reported in the literature.

Glued fixation of split-skin graft to the bony orbit following exenteration.

A technique is described to fix a split-skin graft to the bony orbit with a new homologous fibrin adhesive system. This shortens the time between the exenteration and the fitting of an epithesis to the bony orbit as compared with the granulation technique or fitting the graft with a prolonged pressure bandage. The advantages and risks connected to the glue system are discussed.

Lymphoid proliferations in the orbit: malignant or benign?

Clinical, pathological, and immunological analysis of 20 patients with ocular adnexal lymphoid disease has demonstrated several parameters which are useful for distinguishing malignant from benign lesions. Patients in the fourth or fifth decade of life presenting with an acute history of pain, oedema, epiphora, double vision, and ptosis, with a mass localised in the lacrimal gland area, are more likely to have a pseudolymphoma or a chronic inflammatory lesion than a true non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). It is not possible to obtain a definite diagnosis without surgical intervention, because only three out of nine patients with orbital NHL had evidence of a monoclonal B cell population in peripheral blood on admission to the Orbital Centre. Furthermore it was confirmed that the identification of the various orbital lymphoid infiltrates becomes more distinct when immunological techniques are added to the clinical and histopathological methods of investigation. Multidisciplinary cooperation leads to further improvement of diagnosis and treatment of ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative disease.
