  • Treatment of Congenital Ptosis

Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, Director of Ophthalmic Plastic and Orbital Surgery, Oculoplastics Fellowship Director, Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada; 1st Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Congenital ptosis is an abnormally low position of the upper eyelid, with respect to the visual axis in the primary gaze. It can be present at birth or manifest itself during the first year of life and can be bilateral or unilateral. Additionally, it may be an isolated finding or part of a constellation of signs of a specific syndrome or systemic associations. Depending on how much it interferes with the visual axis, it may be considered as a functional or a cosmetic condition. In childhood, functional ptosis can lead to deprivation amblyopia and astigmatism and needs to be treated. However, even mild ptosis with normal vision can lead to psychosocial problems and correction is also advised, albeit on a less urgent basis. Although, patching and glasses can be prescribed to treat the amblyopia, the mainstay of management is surgical. There are several types of surgical procedure available depending on the severity and etiology of the droopy eyelid. The first part of this paper will review the different categories of congenital ptosis, including more common associated syndromes. The latter part will briefly cover the different surgical approaches, with emphasis on how to choose the correct condition.

  • Endoscopic Supraorbital Eyebrow Approach for the Surgical Treatment of Extraaxial and Intraaxial Tumors
    See the corresponding editorial in this issue (E21). Neurosurg Focus 37 (4):E20, 2014 ©AANS, 2014 Endoscopic supraorbital eyebrow approach for the surgical treatment of extraaxial and intraaxial tumors ROBERTO GAZZERI, M.D.,1,2 YUYA NISHIYAMA, M.D., PH.D.,1,3 And CHARLES TEO, M.D.1 1Centre for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, Prince of Wales Private Hospital, Sydney, Australia; 2Department of Neurosurgery, San Giovanni Addolorata Hospital, Rome, Italy; and 3Department of Neurosurgery, Fujita Health University School of Medicine, Toyoake, Japan Object. The supraorbital eyebrow approach is a minimally invasive technique that offers wide access to the anterior skull base region and parasellar area through a subfrontal corridor. The use of neuroendoscopy allows one to extend the approach further to the pituitary fossa, the anterior third ventricle, the interpeduncular cistern, the an- terior and medial temporal lobe, and the middle fossa. The supraorbital approach involves a limited skin incision, with minimal soft-tissue dissection and a small craniotomy, thus carrying relatively low approach-related morbidity. Methods. All consecutive patients who underwent the endoscopic supraorbital eyebrow approach were retro- spectively analyzed for lesion location, pathology, length of stay, complications, and cosmetic results. Results. During a 56-month period, 97 patients (mean age 58.5 years) underwent an endoscopic eyebrow ap- proach to resect extra- and intraaxial brain lesions. The most common pathologies treated were meningiomas (n = 41); craniopharyngiomas (n = 22); dermoid tumors (n = 7); metastases (n = 4); gliomas (n = 3); and other miscel- laneous frontal, parasellar, and midbrain (n = 23) lesions. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 2.7 days (range 1–8 days).

  • Orbital Imaging in Thyroid-Related Orbitopathy
    Orbital imaging in thyroid-related orbitopathy Christopher Lo, MD, Shoaib Ugradar, MD, and Daniel Rootman, MD, MS SUMMARY A broad understanding of the different imaging modalities used to assess the physiologic changes seen in Graves’ orbitopathy complement clinical examination. Subtle applications of radiographic imaging techniques allow for a better understanding of the overall physiology of the orbit, quantify progression of disease, and differentiate it from orbital diseases with overlapping features. A nuanced approach to interpreting imaging features may allow us to delineate inactive from active thyroid eye disease, and advances within this field may arm clinicians with the ability to better predict and prevent dysthyroid optic neuropathy.

  • Atlas of the Facial Nerve and Related Structures
    Rhoton Yoshioka Atlas of the Facial Nerve Unique Atlas Opens Window and Related Structures Into Facial Nerve Anatomy… Atlas of the Facial Nerve and Related Structures and Related Nerve Facial of the Atlas “His meticulous methods of anatomical dissection and microsurgical techniques helped transform the primitive specialty of neurosurgery into the magnificent surgical discipline that it is today.”— Nobutaka Yoshioka American Association of Neurological Surgeons. Albert L. Rhoton, Jr. Nobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton, Jr., MD have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies of complex facial nerves and related structures. An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton’s microanatomy lab, writing in the preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical innovation. Special Features • Exquisite color photographs, prepared from carefully dissected latex injected cadavers, reveal anatomy layer by layer with remarkable detail and clarity • An added highlight, 3-D versions of these extraordinary images, are available online in the Thieme MediaCenter • Major sections include intracranial region and skull, upper facial and midfacial region, and lower facial and posterolateral neck region Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well as other conditions and injuries.
