Surgery stands as the primary treatment for spheno-orbital meningiomas, following a symptoms-oriented approach. We discussed decision-making process behind surgical strategies through review of medical records from 80 patients who underwent resection at University Naples Federico II. Different approaches were employed based on tumor’s location relative to optic nerve’s long axis, categorized into lateral (type I), medial II), and diffuse III). examined clinical, neuroradiological, surgical,...
Ocular trauma remains a significant cause of vision loss, often resulting from penetrating injuries caused by foreign bodies such as glass, metal, wood, and other materials. Despite advancements in ocular surgery, retained intraorbital may lead to delayed complications if not promptly identified managed. We present the case 59-year-old male who reported severe right eye pain diplopia seven years following work-related facial injury. Initially asymptomatic, computed tomography (CT) scan later...
Object: This study proposes a topographical classification of spheno-orbital meningiomas. Its aim was to define whether the different intraorbital localizations require surgical approaches and have recurrence rates outcomes.
The purpose of this retrospective follow-up study is to evaluate the prevalence patients with thyroid eye disease presenting apparent unilateral proptosis and determine occurrence exophthalmos in contralateral non-proptotic over time. Associated features event were evaluated.A cohort 655 consecutive affected by a minimum 10 years was reviewed. Exophthalmos assessed using both Hertel exophthalmometer computed tomography (CT). influence age, gender, hormonal status different therapies such as...
Summary A total of 145 patients with orbital dermoid cysts examined at the Orbital Clinic, Institute Ophthalmology, School Medicine, University Naples "Federico II" over a period 16 years were reviewed. The classified as exophytic and endophytic, according to their site attachment in relation rims. This classification can explain different natural history these lesions. growing externally are discovered childhood, whereas endophytic ones later life when they produce bone damage, or without...
This study defines the indications, results, and limits of lateral orbitotomy coupled with resection sphenoid wing for removing meningiomas intraorbital extension.Eighteen patients tumor extension into or superolateral compartments orbital cavity were treated by microsurgical without craniotomy. The approach consisted a linear skin incision along upper eyelid crease extending to 2 cm from canthal angle rim, wall, infiltrated wing.A complete (Simpson I), including bone, dura, periorbita, was...
Background/Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of methotrexate for treatment thyroid eye disease (TED). Methods. 36 consecutive patients with active TED, previously treated corticosteroids but stopped due to occurrence side effects, were commenced on therapy. Two different weekly doses administered depending weight patient (7.5 mg or 10 mg). Clinical activity score (7-CAS), visual acuity (VA), ocular motility, exophthalmos, and eyelid position retrospectively evaluated at 3, 6, 12 months compared...
To describe a series of Italian patients with orbital metastasis focusing on the outcomes in relation to different primary site malignancy.Retrospective chart review 93 collected tertiary referral centre period 38y and literature.Out patients, 52 were females 41 males. Median age at diagnosis was 51y (range 1 88y). The have been divided into four groups basis year diagnosis. frequency recorded cases had decreased significantly (P<0.05) during last 9.5y. Primary tumor breast 36 (39%), kidney...
To compare the number of eye surgical procedures performed in Italy during first month lockdown with those same period 2019.Review from 10 March to 9 April 2019 and 2020 (the because COVID-19 outbreak) at six academic institutional centers Italy. A distinction was made between urgent procedures: any trauma repairment, trabeculectomy/drainage implant for glaucoma, operation rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) vitreous hemorrhage (VH), macular hole, or...
Primary orbital lymphoma is a rare disease that accounts for 10% of all tumors. Radiotherapy on the cavity treatment choice this unusual presentation localized non-Hodgkin's (NHL). The aim study to retrospectively evaluate effectiveness and toxicity radiation in patients with primary lymphoma.Forty-seven consecutive having treated our department between May 1983 September 2006 were investigated retrospective study. Either 60Co gamma rays or 6 MV X used deliver daily fractions 1.8 2.0 Gy, 5...
This study was designed to validate a novel semi-automated segmentation method measure regional intra-orbital fat tissue volume in Graves' ophthalmopathy. Twenty-four orbits from 12 patients with ophthalmopathy, 24 controls, ten five MRI simulations and two digital model were used. Following manual region of interest definition the orbital volumes performed by operators different levels expertise, an automated procedure calculated (global regional, four quadrants). In disease, clinical...
