A 45-year-old male presented with active progressive thyroid eye disease refractory to intravenous steroids and right orbital radiation. Visual acuity, left relative afferent pupillary defect, Humphrey visual field defects were consistent worsening dysthyroid optic neuropathy. Orbital MRI demonstrated extraocular muscle enlargement effacement of the nerve sheath. After 2 infusions teprotumumab, patient’s fields, proptosis, size improved.

High-pressure diesel soft tissue injuries are uncommon, especially in the orbit. These can initially have a deceivingly benign clinical appearance and may radiographically mimic emphysema but rapidly progress with vision-threatening outcomes; cases of complete vision loss eye been reported. Early diagnosis intervention essential to minimize chemical injury tissues vital structures. We present case severe from compressed orbit, face, neck requiring multidisciplinary management, serial...
Purpose: To review the treatment response of advanced conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to systemic immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy at a single institution. Methods: A retrospective patients treated institution from 2015 2024 was conducted identify those with SCC who had been ICI therapy. Advanced disease included orbital invasion tumors, unresectable disease, or metastatic disease. Computed tomography imaging and tumor mutational burden data were evaluated for all...
