1/244. Congenital upper eyelid retraction.

    This report describes a six-year-old boy born with a unilateral upper eyelid retraction resulting in mild exposure keratopathy. The fissure on that side was 4 millimeters larger and lagophthalmos was present. At the time of levator recession surgery, the muscle was found to have a restriction at the medial and lateral horns preventing downward excursion. This condition has some of the features of congenital orbital fibrosis and is postulated to have been due to an intrauterine infection or inflammation.

2/244. Bilateral abortive cryptophthalmos associated with oculocutaneous albinism.

    PURPOSE: To document a case of bilateral abortive cryptophthalmos associated with oculocutaneous albinism. methods: We describe a 13-year-old female patient with blond skin and hair who had anomalous face and eyes first noted at birth. RESULTS: The patient had fair hair and complexion, bilateral anomalous wedge of scalp hair, upper eyebrow and eyelid deformities, cup-shaped ears, broad based nose with depressed bridge and midline groove, iris transillumination and diffuse hypopigmentation and foveal hypoplasia in fundus examination. CONCLUSION: Based on the clinical and laboratory findings, the reported case represents tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism together with bilateral abortive cryptophthalmos. The oculocutaneous albinism can either be an entirely new criterion to the whole syndrome of cryptophthalmos, or, more probably, the condition can be due to a double affliction which is primarily related with consanguinity of the parents. The importance of ante-natal diagnosis and genetic counseling are emphasized in such cases where the two recessive genes for two different conditions coexist.

3/244. Kimura's disease of bilateral upper eyelids: a case report.

    We present a rare case of Kimura's disease of bilateral upper eyelids. A 41-year-old Chinese male had multiple masses over retroauricular, submandibular regions and bilateral upper eyelids since 13 years previously. Tumor recurred after each surgical excision, chemotherapy and Co 60 radiotherapy. eosinophilia and elevation of blood immunoglobulin e (IgE) were noted in this admission. We operated on left upper eyelid to relieve the blocking of vision. A diffuse infiltration with numerous fibrotic bands was noted. Histological section showed a lymphoid hyperplasia, remarkable infiltration of eosinophils and proliferation of capillaries. Oral prednisolone 60 mg was given postoperatively. The patient had a satisfactory appearance and a relief of visual block.

4/244. Chronic dacryoadenitis misdiagnosed as eyelid edema and allergic conjunctivitis.

    PURPOSE: To report the case of a 53-year-old woman with a 2-year history of episodic upper eyelid swelling and nonspecific complaints, who was diagnosed as having allergic conjunctivitis. methods: A complete ocular examination, orbital computerized tomographic (CT) scans followed by complete physical and systemic examinations. RESULTS: The results of physical and systemic examinations were unremarkable for systemic lymphoma and a primary focus of cancer. The results of the ocular examination were normal. CT scans demonstrated well-defined lesions bilaterally with a homogeneous internal structure in the lacrimal gland fossa, which suggested a diagnosis of chronic dacryoadenitis. The differential diagnosis included lymphoma and orbital metastases. The patient refused a biopsy and was started on a tapering dose of 60 mg oral prednisolone daily. The follow-up CT scans 1 month after cessation of 6-week oral corticosteroid treatment showed near complete resolution of the orbital lesions. CONCLUSION: This case demonstrates that orbital inflammation can be misdiagnosed as refractory allergic conjunctivitis.

5/244. Milia en plaque.

    Milia plaque is an unusual and rare variant of milia. We now report a Chinese man with numerous milia within an erythematous plaque of the upper and lower eyelids; histology confirmed the diagnosis and showed pericystic inflammation. All but one of the previous 10 reported cases affected the ear or adjacent sites, and to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of milia en plaque affecting the eyelids.

6/244. Spontaneous resolution of upper eyelid retraction in thyroid orbitopathy.

    This study was conducted to document in the literature case reports of spontaneous resolution of eyelid retraction in patients with thyroid orbitopathy. Two cases of thyroid orbitopathy associated with eyelid retraction were observed without surgical treatment. Spontaneous resolution of upper eyelid retraction occurred during an 8- to 12-month period.

7/244. Castleman disease presenting with ophthalmic signs and symptoms.

    PURPOSE: To describe a patient with multicentric Castleman disease who was initially examined with ophthalmic signs and symptoms. methods: Case report. A 71-year-old man was initially examined with swelling of both upper eyelids and diplopia of 2 months' duration. RESULTS: Medical evaluation and right axillary lymph node biopsy disclosed Castleman disease. Systemic corticosteroid treatment temporarily resolved signs and symptoms, but the patient died of recurrence with cytomegalovirus and aspergillus infection 10 months after initial examination. CONCLUSIONS: Multicentric Castleman disease is a rare but distinct disorder that may present initially with ocular signs and symptoms. This disease must be included in the differential diagnosis of orbital pseudotumor and lymphoma.

8/244. Floppy eyelid syndrome: a diagnostic dilemma.

    BACKGROUND: Floppy eyelid syndrome may be the underlining cause of papillary keratoconjunctivitis. patients initially report a nonspecific irritation, redness, or a foreign body sensation. methods: As a result of its vague presentation, floppy eyelid syndrome is frequently misdiagnosed. A careful slit-lamp evaluation and a complete history aids in the diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: The most distinctive feature of floppy eye syndrome is a pliant upper tarsus that is easily everted without excess manipulation. Histopathology has attributed the laxity of the lid to a decreased amount of elastin within the tarsus. Treatment includes prevention of the upper lid from everting during sleep or surgical procedures such as horizontal eyelid shortening. Our case report illustrates a patient with a classic case of floppy eyelid syndrome.

9/244. Tarsal switch procedure for the surgical rehabilitation of the eyelid and socket deficiencies of the anophthalmic socket.

    PURPOSE: To describe a tarsal transfer procedure, which we have named the "tarsal switch," to correct the eyelid malpositions and camouflage the socket defects of acquired anophthalmos. methods: The technique consists of an upper eyelid tarsectomy, with transfer of the autologous tarsoconjunctival graft to the posterior lamella of the lower eyelid. RESULTS: The operation was performed in 21 anophthalmic patients. In 16 patients with eyelid malpositions, excellent results (within 1 mm of the fellow eye) were attained in 100% of the patients with ptosis, and in 88% of patients with lower eyelid retraction. In the remaining 5 patients, orbital volume loss with secondary implant migration, inferior prosthetic displacement and eyelid asymmetry predominated. In these patients the anophthalmic orbital defects and eyelid asymmetry were masked well. patient satisfaction was high and complications were few during an average follow-up interval of 16 months. CONCLUSION: The tarsal switch procedure is useful in managing the eyelid malpositions and masking the orbital deficiencies of the anophthalmic socket.

10/244. Total upper eyelid reconstruction with mucosalized tarsal graft and overlying bipedicle flap.

    Total or near-total upper eyelid reconstruction with a mucosalized tarsal graft and overlying bipedicled myocutaneous flap was performed on 12 patients. This technique offers several advantages over other reconstructive methods: (1) the opportunity for immediate visual rehabilitation through a single-staged procedure without obscuration of the visual axis, (2) preservation of eyelid blinking and closure by relocation of functional orbicularis muscle, (3) excellent eyelid contour, and (4) use of tissue physiologically similar to that removed. The technique and clinical results are presented herein.
