Clinical characteristics of CHARGE syndrome. (1/37)

CHARGE syndrome, first described by Pagon, was named for its six major clinical features. They are: coloboma of the eye, heart defects, atresia of the choanae, retarded growth and development including CNS anomalies, genital hypoplasia and/or urinary tract anomalies, and ear anomalies and/or hearing loss. We experienced three cases of CHARGE syndrome who displayed ocular coloboma, heart defects, retarded growth and development, and external ear anomalies, and we also review the previously reported literature concerning CHARGE syndrome.  (+info)

Everting suture correction of lower lid involutional entropion. (2/37)

AIMS: To assess the long term efficacy of everting sutures in the correction of lower lid involutional entropion and to quantify the effect upon lower lid retractor function. METHODS: A prospective single armed clinical trial of 62 eyelids in 57 patients undergoing everting suture correction of involutional entropion. Patients were assessed preoperatively and at 6, 12, 24, and 48 months postoperatively. The main outcome variables were lower lid position and the change in lower lid retractor function. RESULTS: When compared with the non-entropic side, the entropic lid had a greater degree of horizontal laxity and poorer lower lid retractor function. These differences however, were not significant. At the conclusion of the study and after a mean follow up period of 31 months, the entropion had recurred in 15% of the patients. There were no treatment failures in the group of five patients with recurrent entropion. The improvement in lower lid retractor function after the insertion of lower lid everting sutures did not reach statistical significance. There was no significant difference between the treatment failure group and the group with a successful outcome with regard to: the degree of horizontal lid laxity or lower lid retractor function present preoperatively; patient age or sex; an earlier history of surgery for entropion. There was neither a demonstrable learning effect nor a significant intersurgeon difference in outcome. The overall 4 year mortality rate was 30%. CONCLUSIONS: The use of everting sutures in the correction of primary or recurrent lower lid involutional entropion is a simple, successful, long lasting, and cost effective procedure.  (+info)

Role of reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor on involutional entropion. (3/37)

AIMS: To verify and evaluate the effect of reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor aponeurosis to correct involutional entropion. METHODS: The involutional entropion is one affection that occurs mainly in the lower eyelid of patients over 60 years old. The surgical techniques proposed to correct this condition are based on correction of horizontal laxity-the preseptal orbicularis muscle overrides the pretarsal muscle, and the reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor aponeurosis. 30 patients clinically diagnosed with involutional entropion and randomly selected underwent reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor aponeurosis to the tarsal plate, without horizontal shortening or resection of the skin or orbicularis muscle. RESULTS: Good anatomical and functional correction was achieved in 96.6% of the patients and no recurrence was observed on 29 month follow up examination. The surgical result was very satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that this procedure is effective and has low recurrence rate, showing the important role of the reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor aponeurosis in this surgical correction.  (+info)

Report of a family with dominantly inherited upper lid entropion. (4/37)

AIM: To report the occurrence of late onset, bilateral, idiopathic upper lid entropion, occurring in three members of the same family, with a known family history. METHODS: Five family members were examined, and a history taken, at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Three patients were treated surgically, and one also had a tarsoconjunctival biopsy. RESULTS: In all cases, no aetiology was found. The family history suggests an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. All patients were treated with anterior lamellar repositioning, and had optimal results. CONCLUSION: The family reported seems to be affected by a familial form of primary acquired upper lid entropion, that shows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.  (+info)

Refractive changes of congenital entropion and epiblepharon on surgical correction. (5/37)

In order to investigate the refractive error, amblyopic frequency, and refractive change, if any, following recovery of cornea injury through surgery of epiblepharon and congenital entropion patients, we retrospectively reviewed the sex distribution, age at operation, chief complaints, preoperative and postoperative refractive errors, and best corrected visual acuity in 160 previously operated patients. The average age at operation was 7.9 years. The preoperative best corrected visual acuity of 133 eyes (41.6%) was below 5/9. Ninety-five eyes (29.7%) were preoperative myopes above -1.0D; 77 eyes (24%) were hyperopes above +1.0D; and 163 eyes were astigmatic above -1.0D. Of 228 eyes that were followed up for more than one year, 66 eyes demonstrated a best corrected visual acuity of below 5/9. There was no significant difference in the change in corneal astigmatism following surgery between the group under the age of 7 and the group over the age of 7. However, the mean best corrected visual acuity at postoperative one year was 6/9, which was significantly different from the preoperative value (P=0.006). Concurrent postoperative glasses correction and amblyopic therapy is indicated because the incidence of refractive errors and amblyopia is higher in epiblepharon and congenital entropion.  (+info)

Cautery for lower lid entropion. (6/37)

A prospective study was undertaken to evaluate a simple cautery technique for the correction of involutional lower lid entropion in 50 patients. After a 12 month follow-up period all patients were free of entropion. Only one patient needed to have the procedure repeated because of recurrence. The technique was found to be simple, effective, safe, and required very little time and skill.  (+info)

Blinding trachoma: prevention with the safe strategy. (7/37)

Trachoma, the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, differentially affects the poorest communities, which may have the least access to resources. With the establishment of the Global Elimination of Blinding Trachoma by 2020 (GET 2020) goal, the World Health Organization has set an ambitious target for country programs. The currently recommended surgery for trichiasis/entropion, antibiotics for active disease, facial cleanliness, and environmental change to reduce transmission (SAFE) strategy targets all key elements believed to be necessary for a short- and long-term intervention program. This report reviews the need for a multi-faceted strategy, and the evidence supporting the elements of SAFE. Concerns about the implementation are discussed. Additional research is suggested that will enhance the implementation of the SAFE strategy. In the current climate of significant political and social momentum for trachoma control, the SAFE strategy is a safe bet to accomplish the elimination of blinding trachoma.  (+info)

Community-based transconjunctival marginal rotation for cicatricial trachoma in Indians from the Upper Rio Negro basin. (8/37)

The objective of the present study was to describe, for the first time in Brazil, the use by a non-ophthalmologist of a community-based marginal rotation procedure by a posterior approach in the indigenous population from the Upper Rio Negro basin. Seventy-three upper eyelids of 46 Indians (11 males and 35 females) with cicatricial upper eyelid entropion and trichiasis were operated in the Indian communities using a marginal rotational procedure by a posterior approach by a non-ophthalmologist physician who had general surgery experience but only an extremely short period (one week) of ophthalmic training. Subjects were reevaluated 6 months after surgery. Results were classified according to the presence and location of residual trichiasis and symptoms were assessed according to a three-level subjective scale (better, worse or no change). Fifty-six eyelids (76.7%) were free from trichiasis, whereas residual trichiasis was observed in 17 eyelids (23.3%) of 10 subjects. In these cases, trichiasis was either lateral or medial to the central portion of the lid. Of these 10 patients, only 4 reported that the surgery did not improve the irritative symptoms. We conclude that marginal rotation by a posterior approach is an effective and simple procedure with few complications, even when performed by non-specialists. Due to its simplicity the posterior approach is an excellent option for community-based upper eyelid entropion surgery.  (+info)

Entropion is a medical condition in which the eyelid, particularly the lower eyelid, turns inward or rolls in toward the eye. This can cause the eyelashes or skin to rub against the cornea, which can lead to discomfort, irritation, and potentially damage the front surface of the eye. Entropion can be caused by various factors such as aging, eye inflammation, injury, or congenital defects. Treatment typically involves surgical correction to tighten or reposition the eyelid. If left untreated, entropion may result in corneal abrasions, infections, and vision loss.

Eyelashes are defined in medical terms as the slender, hair-like growths that originate from the edges of the eyelids. They are made up of keratin and follicles, and their primary function is to protect the eyes from debris, sweat, and other irritants by acting as a physical barrier. Additionally, they play a role in enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the eyes and can also serve as a sensory organ, helping to detect potential threats near the eye area.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The primary goal of blepharoplasty is to improve the appearance of the eyes by reducing signs of aging such as drooping eyelids, bags under the eyes, and wrinkles around the eyes.

In an upper blepharoplasty, an incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid, allowing the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat, and sometimes tighten the muscle. In a lower blepharoplasty, an incision may be made just below the lashes or inside the lower lid, depending on whether skin or fat needs to be removed.

Blepharoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Recovery time varies but usually includes some swelling and bruising for several days to a week or two. The results of blepharoplasty can be long-lasting, although they may not completely stop the aging process.

Eyelids are the thin folds of skin that cover and protect the front surface (cornea) of the eye when closed. They are composed of several layers, including the skin, muscle, connective tissue, and a mucous membrane called the conjunctiva. The upper and lower eyelids meet at the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus) and the inner corner of the eye (medial canthus).

The main function of the eyelids is to protect the eye from foreign particles, light, and trauma. They also help to distribute tears evenly over the surface of the eye through blinking, which helps to keep the eye moist and healthy. Additionally, the eyelids play a role in facial expressions and non-verbal communication.

Ectropion is a medical condition that affects the eyelid, specifically the lower eyelid. It occurs when the lower eyelid is turned outward, away from the eye, causing the inner surface of the lid to be exposed. This can lead to various symptoms such as dryness, redness, irritation, and tearing of the eye. Ectropion can be caused by a variety of factors including aging, facial paralysis, scarring, or previous eyelid surgery. Treatment typically involves surgical correction to tighten the eyelid and restore it to its normal position.

Eyelid diseases refer to a variety of medical conditions that affect the function and/or appearance of the eyelids. These can include structural abnormalities, such as entropion (inward turning of the eyelid) or ectropion (outward turning of the eyelid), as well as functional issues like ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid). Other common eyelid diseases include blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid margin), chalazion (a blocked oil gland in the eyelid), and cancerous or benign growths on the eyelid. Symptoms of eyelid diseases can vary widely, but often include redness, swelling, pain, itching, tearing, and sensitivity to light. Treatment for these conditions depends on the specific diagnosis and may range from self-care measures and medications to surgical intervention.

Hair removal is the deliberate elimination or reduction of body hair. This can be achieved through various methods, both temporary and permanent. Some common temporary methods include shaving, waxing, tweezing, and depilatory creams. Permanent methods may involve laser hair removal or electrolysis, which target the hair follicle to prevent future growth. It's important to note that some methods can have side effects or risks, so it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist before starting any new hair removal regimen.

Trachoma is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It primarily affects the eyes, causing repeated infections that lead to scarring of the inner eyelid and eyelashes turning inward (trichiasis), which can result in damage to the cornea and blindness if left untreated.

The disease is spread through direct contact with eye or nose discharge from infected individuals, often through contaminated fingers, shared towels, or flies that have come into contact with the discharge. Trachoma is prevalent in areas with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water, making it a significant public health issue in many developing countries.

Preventive measures include improving personal hygiene, such as washing hands regularly, promoting facial cleanliness, and providing safe water and sanitation facilities. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to eliminate the infection and surgery for advanced cases with trichiasis or corneal damage.

Hallermann-Streiff syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a distinctive combination of skeletal, craniofacial, and skin abnormalities. The main features include a bird-like face with a prominent forehead, small chin, and beaked nose; widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism) with a short eyelid fissure; a thin beak-shaped upper jaw (maxilla); underdeveloped cheekbones (malar hypoplasia); and a small receding lower jaw (micrognathia).

Individuals with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome often have sparse hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes; thin skin; and an increased risk of developing cataracts and other eye abnormalities. They may also have dental anomalies, such as missing or malformed teeth, and a high-arched palate.

Hallermann-Streiff syndrome is caused by mutations in the GJA1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called connexin 43. This protein is important for the normal development and function of various tissues, including the bones and skin. The exact role of connexin 43 in the development of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome is not well understood.

Hallermann-Streiff syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, which means that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition.

Ophthalmologic surgical procedures refer to various types of surgeries performed on the eye and its surrounding structures by trained medical professionals called ophthalmologists. These procedures aim to correct or improve vision, diagnose and treat eye diseases or injuries, and enhance the overall health and functionality of the eye. Some common examples of ophthalmologic surgical procedures include:

1. Cataract Surgery: This procedure involves removing a cloudy lens (cataract) from the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
2. LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis): A type of refractive surgery that uses a laser to reshape the cornea, correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
3. Glaucoma Surgery: Several surgical options are available for treating glaucoma, including laser trabeculoplasty, traditional trabeculectomy, and various drainage device implantations. These procedures aim to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent further optic nerve damage.
4. Corneal Transplant: This procedure involves replacing a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy donor cornea to restore vision and improve the eye's appearance.
5. Vitreoretinal Surgery: These procedures focus on treating issues within the vitreous humor (gel-like substance filling the eye) and the retina, such as retinal detachment, macular holes, or diabetic retinopathy.
6. Strabismus Surgery: This procedure aims to correct misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) by adjusting the muscles responsible for eye movement.
7. Oculoplastic Surgery: These procedures involve reconstructive, cosmetic, and functional surgeries around the eye, such as eyelid repair, removal of tumors, or orbital fracture repairs.
8. Pediatric Ophthalmologic Procedures: Various surgical interventions are performed on children to treat conditions like congenital cataracts, amblyopia (lazy eye), or blocked tear ducts.

These are just a few examples of ophthalmic surgical procedures. The specific treatment plan will depend on the individual's condition and overall health.

Catgut is a type of surgical suture that is made from the natural fibrous collagen tissue found in the walls of sheep or goat intestines. Despite its name, catgut sutures do not contain any material from cats. The term "catgut" is believed to have originated due to the similarity in texture and handling between these surgical sutures and actual cat gut.

The process of creating catgut sutures involves cleaning, disinfecting, and treating the intestinal tissue with various chemicals to make it stronger, more flexible, and less likely to cause an immune response when implanted in the body. Catgut sutures are absorbable, which means that they gradually break down and are absorbed by the body over time. This makes them ideal for use in soft tissues where a permanent suture is not necessary.

Catgut sutures have been used in surgical procedures for many years, but their popularity has declined in recent decades due to the development of synthetic absorbable sutures that are more consistent in strength and duration of absorption. However, catgut sutures are still used in some medical applications today, particularly in ophthalmic surgery and certain types of orthopedic procedures.

Ear cartilage, also known as auricular cartilage, refers to the flexible connective tissue that makes up the structural framework of the external ear or pinna. The ear cartilage provides support and shape to the ear, helping to direct sound waves into the ear canal and towards the eardrum.

The ear cartilage is composed of type II collagen fibers and proteoglycans, which give it its flexibility and resiliency. It is covered by a thin layer of skin on both sides and contains no bones. Instead, the ear cartilage is shaped and maintained by the surrounding muscles and connective tissue.

There are three main parts of the ear cartilage: the helix, the antihelix, and the tragus. The helix is the outer rim of the ear, while the antihelix is the curved ridge that runs parallel to the helix. The tragus is the small piece of cartilage that projects from the front of the ear canal.

Ear cartilage can be affected by various conditions, including trauma, infection, and degenerative changes associated with aging. In some cases, surgical procedures may be required to reshape or reconstruct damaged ear cartilage.

Fascia lata is a medical term that refers to the thick, fibrous sheath of connective tissue that envelops and surrounds the thigh muscles (specifically, the quadriceps femoris and hamstrings). It is a type of fascia, which is the soft tissue component of the deep (internal) fascial system.

The fascia lata is continuous with the fascia of the hip and knee joints and plays an important role in providing stability, support, and protection to the muscles and other structures within the thigh. It also helps to facilitate the gliding and movement of muscles and tendons during physical activity.

Injuries or inflammation of the fascia lata can cause pain and discomfort, and may limit mobility and range of motion in the thigh and lower extremity. Conditions such as fascia lata strain, tears, or myofascial pain syndrome may require medical treatment, including physical therapy, medication, or in some cases, surgery.

Corneal opacity refers to a condition in which the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, becomes cloudy or opaque. This can occur due to various reasons such as injury, infection, degenerative changes, or inherited disorders. As a result, light is not properly refracted and vision becomes blurred or distorted. In some cases, corneal opacity can lead to complete loss of vision in the affected eye. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include medication, corneal transplantation, or other surgical procedures.
