Some of the patients requesting blepharoplasty have a combination of excessive eyelid fat and brow ptosis but little or no dermatochalasis. Coronal brow lift, combined with transcoronal fat removal, serves these patients well. The prelevator fat pocket is easily entered from above by incising the periosteum of the anterior orbital roof just inside the orbital rim. Since the orbital septum and anterior lamella of the eyelid rim remain undisturbed, the result appears natural. Contraindications to the procedure include significant medical pocket fat and hair patterns that would exclude a coronal or hairline incision. Two complications, unilateral ptosis and unilateral chemosis, were temporary and totally reversible. Minor changes in the procedure have prevented the recurrence of these problems.

Pelvic abscesses and fluid collections are relatively common complications of major pelvic surgery. When a radical cystectomy has been performed, the ultrasonic acoustic window to normal anatomic landmarks is lost and bowel loops prolapse into the anatomic pelvis. This makes standard suprapubic ultrasonography (US) either difficult or nondiagnostic and often obscures significant pathology. The current use of high-frequency endocavitary US transducers permits an alternate view of the remaining pelvic structures. Coronal transgluteal scans also permit a limited view of the presacral area. These approaches were used in drainage of pelvic abscesses after cystectomy using the transrectal, transurethral, transperineal, and transabdominal routes under US guidance.

We reported an autopsy case with recent memory disturbance, characterized by localized atrophy of parahippocampal gyrus, subiculum and amygdala. This patient initially exhibited recent memory disturbance at the age of 73. She was disoriented to time and place and immediately forgot having had a meal. At the age of 75, she was hospitalized because of progressive forgetfulness and congestive heart failure. One year later, she was admitted to our medical center. On admission, she was alert, but showed severe recent memory disturbance and disorientation to time and place. By contrast, she had neither aphasia nor apraxia. No other neurological symptoms were found. Brain CT showed localized atrophy of the medial part of bilateral temporal lobes and brain SPECT (123I-IMP) revealed a decrease of cerebral blood flow in the same regions. We considered her as early stage of Alzheimer type dementia (ATD) clinically. She died of pneumonia and DIC at the age of 78. Her illness lasted about 5 years. General autopsy showed prolapse of mitral valves, bronchopneumonia and DIC. The brain weighed 1,150 gm. Coronal sections of the brain revealed locarized atrophy of bilateral mediobasal part of the temporal lobes including the rostral parahippocampal gyrus, subiculum and amygdala. There were severe neuronal loss with astrogliosis and a few neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the rostral para-hippocampus, CA1 of the hippocampal formation, prosubiculum and amygdala. There were neither senile plaques (SP) nor NFT in the cerebral neocortex. This case lacked neocortical SP and NFT and showed bilateral localized atrophy of rostral parahippocampal gyrus, CA1, subiculum and related structure of the ventromedial temporal lobe with severe neuronal loss and astrogliosis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A 7-year-old boy presented with recurrent meningitis after head trauma. Coronal computed tomography (CT) revealed prolapse of the intracranial soft tissue into the right ethmoidal sinus, leading to the diagnosis of right frontal skull base fracture. Three-dimensional CT with bone windows provided a lifelike image of the fracture lateral to the right olfactory groove. This image was most useful in the preoperative planning of the repair surgery.

Direct browlift and the traditional fascial suspension technique sometimes leave a prominent scar above the eyebrow. Coronal browlift, mid-forehead browlift, and endoscopic browlift leave no prominent scar, but they are sometimes not suitable for patients with facial paralysis because they have been developed for rejuvenative surgery. The authors present a new browlift fascial suspension technique for patients with facial paralysis. This method uses a semiautomatic suturing device (Maniceps), which they have used to graft three fascial strips to the forehead from the fascia lata, and to suspend and lift the eyebrow with only two small incisions posterior to the hairline. The authors treated 13 facial paralysis patients, with follow-up periods of more than 6 months. The lifted eyebrows adapted to stabilized positions within 3 months. The results in all 13 patients were satisfactory, with no severe complications. This new technique is very useful because it has wide applicability, including facial paralysis patients who experience severe ptosis.
