Ocular prosthetics: use of a tissue conditioner material to modify a stock ocular prosthesis.

The custom-made ocular prosthesis contributes to enhanced tissue health of the anophthalmic socket. For this purpose, an acrylic resin ocular prosthesis may be modified, by using an appropriate dental impression material and being adapted closely to the anophthalmic socket. The modeling impression material is subsequently replaced by acrylic resin. This article describes the application of a viscoelastic tissue conditioner material, as an impression medium for prosthetic modification of an ocular prosthesis. The tissue conditioner material exhibits favorable tissue compatibility, adhesion to acrylic resin, and detailed surface registration. These advantages facilitate the clinical procedure and evaluation of modifications made to the ocular prosthesis.

Visual recovery following treatment with very high dose corticosteroid in traumatic optic neuropathy.

Optic nerve compression is a true ophthalmic emergency. In addition to causes such as tumours, infection, mucoceles and granulomas, the majority of cases are the result of orbitofacial or closed-head trauma. The appropriate management of such cases is controversial; with some authors favouring surgical decompression while others advocate medical treatment using very high-dose corticosteroids, or a combination of both. We report a case of traumatic optic neuropathy in which there was marked improvement in visual acuity following the administration of methylprednisolone.

Oriental eyelids--anatomical and surgical considerations.

There are subtle anatomical differences between the oriental and occidental eyelids. Creation of upper eyelid crease, otherwise known as "Double Eyelid" has been the single most popular cosmetic surgical procedure among the affluent Asians to enhance the beauty of their eyelids. It is important for the surgeon to be familiar with the anatomical differences in order not to westernise their facial features but to blend his creation with the existing facial features. This is true of any surgical procedure in the lids, be it ptosis correction or blepharoplasty for excess skin and bags in the eyelids, in order to produce good cosmetic results.

Spontaneous hematic cysts of the orbit presenting with acute proptosis. A report of three cases.

Three cases of spontaneous hematic cyst of the orbit are described. All cases presented with acute onset of proptosis, conjunctival chemosis, choroidal folds, restricted ocular movement, and optic nerve compression syndrome with very poor vision. A computed tomography scan demonstrated a cystic lesion situated in the upper part of the orbit. Exploration revealed a cyst containing chocolate-colored fluid. Visual recovery was complete in two of three cases. There was no definite history of trauma in all three cases. Chronic hematic cysts have been described recently, but cases with acute onset such as ours have not to our knowledge been described clearly.

[Maxillofacial prosthesis].

The purpose of constructing prosthesis to restore post-surgical deformities of the jaws and the face is to enable such patients to cope better with the difficult process of rehabilitation. Patients with post-surgical maxillofacial defects are presented in this article to illustrate how prosthodontic restoration could improve their functional or cosmetic disability.
