Orbital inflammatory disease (OID) includes all inflammatory processes affecting the orbit. Although several aetiologies are recognised, a cause may not be elucidated. We describe 2 cases in which drugs (hyaluronidase and zoledronic acid) were the cause of OID. In patients with a clinical picture of OID simulating an orbital cellulitis, the recent drug history should be considered as a possible aetiology, and treatment with steroids with or without a biopsy should be considered after an infection has been excluded.

A 38 Year-old-female presented with diplopia and bilateral lower eyelid swelling 1.5 months after hyaluronic acid filler injection of tear trough deformity. Comprehensive eye examination showed an inferior oblique muscle restriction on the right eye. Diplopia and bilateral lower eyelid puffiness were treated by injection of hyaluronidase which resulted in disappearance of both diplopia and bilateral lower eyelid puffiness.

The aim of this study is to describe the experience of 33 physicians, dermatologists and surgeons, with the use of a semi-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) gel as a tear trough deformity filler within one month following injection, and to assess patient satisfaction with the procedure. This study is a case series conducted between February 2012 and December 2012 with the use of semi-cross-linked HA to correct tear trough deformity. The filler was administered in the preperiosteal tissues. The study involved case note review and a patient satisfaction survey. A total of 302 eyes of 151 patients were treated by 33 physicians, with a mean follow-up of 3 weeks. Patients were mainly female (86%), and middle-aged (mean age 48 years old). The gel was placed preperiosteally, deep to the orbicularis, anterior to the inferior orbital rim, with a mean volume of 0.48 ml per eye to achieve correction. The injection procedure was performed without local anesthetic for 79% of the patients. No serious adverse event was recorded. Side effects reported by investigators immediately after injection included bruising (11%), swelling (12%), and redness (inflammation 12%). Very few transitional blue discolorations (2.6%) were observed. No patient required dissolution with hyaluronidase. According to our satisfaction survey, all patients had cosmetic improvement. Most patients (97%) described marked or moderate satisfaction with the treatment. At one month, 18% requested additional hyaluronic acid gel for a touch-up injection. This case series confirms the effective use of a semi-cross-linked HA gel in tear trough rejuvenation. It has excellent patient tolerability, minimal complications, and excellent patient satisfaction.

A 72-year-old Caucasian female presented for evaluation of bilateral lower eyelid "fluid filled" bags that had been present and slowly worsening for 7 years. She reported a history of lower eyelid blepharoplasty in her 40s, as well as hyaluronic acid tear trough fillers 8 years prior to presentation. Her malar edema completely resolved following injection of hyaluronidase. To our knowledge, this is the longest reported interval for presentation and treatment of hyaluronic acid associated malar edema.
