Cushing's syndrome of the orbit: congestive orbitopathy and optic neuropathy associated with steroids
Orbit. 2023 Oct 19:1-4. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2023.2268158. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 56-year-old female with a history of chronic systemic steroid use for asthma control displayed orbital congestion, exophthalmos, a mild abduction deficit, and optic neuropathy. Laboratory workup was unrevealing. Neuroimaging showed increased orbital fat compartments, though the orbital fat was unremarkable on biopsy. The patient was diagnosed with iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome of the orbit and underwent orbital decompression. Early published literature declared this orbitopathy benign. However, newer cases describe more pathologic c...

Paraneoplastic orbital myositis as a first manifestation of renal cell carcinoma
Orbit. 2023 Oct 14:1-5. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2023.2264916. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParaneoplastic syndromes (PNSs) are remote effects of the primary tumor on tissues and organs, not related to direct invasion or metastasis. Ophthalmological involvement has been reported in 0.01-0.1% cases of PNSs. It may present as retinopathy, optic neuritis, myasthenia-like syndromes, or orbital myositis (OM), among others. An 89-year-old male with bilateral ocular pain and chemosis, was given an initial diagnosis of bilateral acute conjunctivitis. After 5 days, the patient presented worsening of the pain and bilateral complete op...

Orbital and paranasal sinuses changes after neonatal orbital exenteration for massive teratoma management
Orbit. 2023 Oct 5:1-4. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2023.2264957. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA neonate at 13 days of age underwent a lid and conjunctiva-sparing orbital exenteration for a massive right orbital teratoma. To reduce the degree of orbital contraction, the entire temporalis muscle was rotated into the orbit along with a dermis-fat graft. Sequential postoperative orbital imaging showed that hyperostosis developed in the orbital apex at the age of two months. Despite a significant expansion of the fat graft, by the age of 4 years, hyperostosis had progressed to the anterior portion of the orbit associated with over-p...

Lacrimal hyperalgesia: a case series of post-operative painful lacrimation
Orbit. 2023 Oct 5:1-4. doi: 10.1080/01676830.2023.2263892. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLacrimal hyperalgesia is a rare type of periorbital neuralgia triggered by tear production. Two female patients in their mid-forties underwent orbital surgery and, several weeks following their procedures, developed pain when they produced tears. The symptom was described as a sharp, debilitating, and transient periocular pain. A possible mechanism for this lacrimal hyperalgesia is through the formation of an artificial synapse along the superolateral aspect of the orbit. Two mechanisms for this type of hyperalgesia are described herei...
