Surgical revision of the oriental lid.
In many oriental upper lids the levator aponeurosis does not insert into the skin as it does in the occidental lid. The upper lid fold is therefore absent in these oriental eyes. In addition, epicanthus tarsalis is common in the oriental, and the caruncle is often hidden. In the revision of the oriental lid any one of a number of medial canthoplasty techniques may be used in conjunction with the surgical formation of an upper lid fold. A double Z-plasty for the epicanthus revision combined with the formation of the lid fold by attaching the levator aponeurosis to the skin is technically simple and yields cosmetically acceptable results.
Granular cell myoblastoma of the lid: case report.
Granular cell myoblastoma, a tumor found commonly in the tongue and subcutaneous tissue, has rarely been reported in the orbital region. The second case of primary granular cell myoblastoma in the eyelid is reported.
Cicatricial upper lid entropion. Treated with banked scleral graft.
Bank sclera is used as a graft in the treatment of cicatricial entropion of the upper lid. Banked bare sclera is sutured into the tarsoconjunctival layer of the entropic lid and is allowed to epithelialize spontaneously.
Repair of cicatricial entropion of the upper eyelid.
The disparity in vertical length between the skin muscle lamellae and the tarsoconjunctival lamellae in cicatricial entropion of the upper eyelid secondary to contracture of the transconjunctival layer was corrected by a transconjunctival incision allowing the eyelid to straighten. The resultant defect in the tarsoconjunctival lamellae was corrected by means of a bare scleral graft 20% larger than the defect in the eyelid. The graft was allowed to epithelialize spontaneously and was not covered with mucuous membrane.

Embolism of a cilioretinal artery following cardiac surgery.
While embolic phenomena involving the central retinal artery or its branches have been often observed, reports of emboli to the cilioretinal artery are rare. A case is described in which a relatively young patient with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease sustained an embolus to a cilioretinal artery following heart surgery.
Multiple myeloma involving the lacrimal gland.
The third case of myeloma presenting as a lacrimal gland tumor is reported. The lesion was originally diagnosed as a solitary extramedullary myeloma, but on follow-up, the patient was seen to develop other myelomas. This case illustrates the necessity for careful follow-up of patients with solitary myelomas, even in the absence of bone marrow pathology, for the solitary extramedullary myeloma may represent an early stage in the development of multiple myeloma.
