Fungal rhinitis-sinusitis with orbital involvement was diagnosed in a dog with profuse unilateral ocular and bilateral nasal discharge, enophthalmos, and a corneal descemetocele. The descemetocele was treated with a conjunctival pedicle graft. Frontal sinusotomy was performed, and clotrimazole was infused through catheters placed in the frontal sinuses and nasal cavities to saturate the tissues for 1 hour. Successful resolution of orbital infection may have been aided by a fistula between the frontal sinus and orbit that allowed delivery of clotrimazole to the orbit. The dog retained sight in the affected eye, and clinical signs of infection were not detected 14 months later, although enophthalmos and medial strabismus may have been caused by persistent postinflammatory fibrosis.

Metastatic carcinoma to the extraocular muscles is extremely rare; it is reported to occur from breast, lung, and gastric carcinoma as well as skin melanoma. (1-3) Overall, intraocular metastases occur much more frequently than orbital metastases.(4) The most common primary tumors causing orbital metastases are breast and lung carcinomas.(5) Strabismus due to orbital metastases from breast carcinoma usually results from fibrosis of the muscle, which often causes painful ophthalmoplegia and enophthalmos. (6,7) We report a case of presumed metastatic carcinoma to the medial rectus muscle causing restrictive strabismus in which surgery was complicated by the "pulled in two syndrome," or PITS.

Clinical signs of orbital disease include exophthalmos, strabismus, or, less commonly, enophthalmos. Fungal orbital disease is uncommon. A case of nasal, frontal sinus, and orbital aspergillosis in a cat is described. Diagnostics for exophthalmos and therapy for retrobulbar abscesses are discussed.

Introduction: In recent years a new perforated PDS (poly-p-dioxanon) foil (0.15 mm) has become available and has not yet been proven to be successful in reconstruction of the orbital floor after blow-out-fractures in randomized studies. The main aim of this clinical trial is to compare this new PDS foil with titanium dynamic mesh (0.3 mm) (TD), which is well established in reconstruction of the orbital floor. Patients and Methods: In a prospective multicentre randomized trial, conducted between 1997 and 1998, out of 42 patients with fractures of the orbital floor, 28 patients needing material for reconstruction were randomized to receive either PDS foil or TD. In a comprehensive preoperative and postoperative protocol patients were monitored by the surgeon, radiologist and ophthalmologist with a postoperative follow-up of least 6 months. Results: Maximum defects of the orbital floor were comparable in both groups (PDS group: 13.3 mm, TD group: 13.9 mm). In both groups the surgical procedure was well tolerated, and functional and cosmetic results were evaluated as satisfactory by all patients. Ophthalmological evaluation, performed up to 6 months postoperatively, revealed double vision or vertical strabismus in nine patients (five PDS group, four titanium group). This was not confirmed subjectively in each single patient. Also ex- or enophthalmos, registered in seven patients of the PDS and four of the TD group (mainly +/-1 mm) were not considered as relevant by the patients. Conclusion: The new 0.15 mm perforated PDS foil was comparable to 0.3 mm titanium mesh concerning functional and cosmetic outcome. Obviously, persisting ophthalmometric disorders were compensated very well in both groups. PDS foil is felt to be the preferred material since it is bioresorbable and more convenient to handle.

The Brachmann de Lange syndrome (BDLS), first described in its full clinical presentation by Brachmann (1916) and Cornelia de Lange (1933) is a multi-system syndrome involving congenital malformations, growth retardation and neurodevelopmental delay. We describe here twelve Egyptian cases with this syndrome with emphasis on the orodental, ear and eye abnormalities and their relation to the severity of expreseion of the disorder. The crodental anomalies were high arched palate, Iong philtrum, micrognathia, macrostomia hypoplasia of upper anterior teceth, fissured tongue macroglossia. Ear malformations were low-set large ears. Otoscopy revealed normal drum appearance. Audiogram revealed conductive, sensorineural or mixed hearing loss. Ocular manifestations were nystagmus, convergentt squint, enophthalmos, myopia 8 blue scleca. The study emphasizes certain eye, ear and crodental anomalies as diagnostic features of the BDLS which correlate with the severity of expression of the syndrome. None of the cases had chromosomal aberrations and the parental consanguinity rate was not increased thus supporting dominant mutations or minor chromosomal etiology.

The authors report a case of hydrogel scleral explant (MIRAgel) causing an incomitant strabismus, diplopia, enophthalmos and a dehiscence in the roof of the orbit secondary to pressure-related atrophy due to swelling of the explant occurring 10 years after its placement.

Fibrosis of the extraocular muscles can be congenital or acquired. Acquired causes include trauma, myositis, thyroid eye disease, infection, and metastases. Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) runs in families and is known to have a genetic basis. It has been classified by Brown, Hansen, and Harley et al into the five following types: general fibrosis syndrome; fibrosis of the inferior rectus (IR) with blepharoptosis; strabismus fixus; vertical retraction syndrome; and unilateral fibrosis, blepharoptosis, and enophthalmos syndrome. In this report, a case of unilateral fibrosis with enophthalmos and blepharoptosis due to a fibrous band is described.

We report the case of a 38-year-old woman who developed a progressive bilateral disease in which the eye motility disorder-diplopia-is the outstanding feature over a period of 12 years. The muscle biopsy of the medial rectus muscle did not show any trace of striated muscle. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first pathological report in an affected extraocular muscle of a patient with Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS). Previous rare reports of diplopia in PRS have been attributed to enophthalmos, progressive atrophy of the orbit, ocular motor nerve dysfunction, or mechanical restrictions.

Certain forms of congenital incomitant strabismus are associated with abnormal cranial nerve development and resultant abnormal orbital innervation (eg, Duane retraction syndrome, congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles [CFEOM]); such conditions can be considered congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDDs). In addition to duction limitation and/or ptosis, orbital CCDD phenotypes include inappropriate extraocular muscle and/or levator innervation by nerves intended for innervation of other structures (eg, some of the innervation intended for the medial rectus muscle inappropriately innervating the ipsilateral lateral rectus muscle in Duane retraction syndrome). This report documents a unique orbital dysinnervational pattern-supraduction during attempted adduction and infraduction during attempted abduction in the left affected eye of a girl with exotropia and enophthalmos.

A 31-year-old pregnant woman presented with subacute painful proptosis due to an orbital apex mass arising from the right medial rectus muscle. The patient developed compressive optic neuropathy refractory to systemic prednisone and underwent orbitotomy with posterior orbital decompression through a transcaruncular approach. Pathologic examination showed intramuscular hemangioma, a benign vascular hamartoma of skeletal muscle, which rarely occurs in the orbit. The optic neuropathy and proptosis resolved without consecutive strabismus or enophthalmos.
