Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) are uncommon neoplasms originating primarily in the pleura but occasionally in the orbit. Despite their generally benign nature, they can exhibit aggressive behaviour. This study focuses on a rare case of a giant SFT located in the orbit, emphasizing diagnostic challenges and treatment considerations. A 69-year-old male with a history of progressive eyelid swelling, proptosis, and vision loss underwent a subconjunctival approach for the removal of an orbital SFT. Histopathological analysis, along with immunohistochemistry markers, confirmed the tumour’s identity. Successful tumour resection was achieved through the subconjunctival approach, highlighting the efficacy of this method for orbital SFTs. The histopathological examination revealed typical features of SFT, characterized by spindle cells and unique architectural patterns. Immunohistochemistry further supported the diagnosis. This case underscores the importance of considering orbital SFTs in the differential diagnosis of orbital tumours, particularly when confronted with proptosis and visual disturbances. Surgical excision, guided by radiological imaging and immunohistochemically analysis, remains the primary therapeutic approach. However, due to the potential for aggressive behaviour, further research is needed to optimize management strategies, especially in cases of incomplete resection or atypical behaviour.

Mucocele is a benign, cystic lesion of the paranasal sinus which grows slowly and becomes symptomatic after a long time. As its size increases the lesion expands out of the sinus. We reported a 16-year-old patient who presented with complaints such as left periorbital pain, shifting in the left eye and proptosis. Mucocele is most commonly seen in the frontal and ethmoid sinuses, while it is rare in the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. We presented a case of maxillary sinus mucocele with orbital complaints.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orbital fat decompression and observe the shortterm results. In order to decrease the amount of proptosis, fat was removed from the temporal and medial compartments of the bilateral upper eyelids via transcutanous surgery and transconjunctival surgery in the right lower lid of a 35-year-old man with Graves ophthalmopathy. Short-term results were reviewed at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Thirty mm proptosis was measured preoperatively; 23 mm proptosis was measured in the right eye and 26 mm proptosis was measured in the left eye postoperatively. A 2 mm opening remained in the left eye with eye closure. Limitation of the upper eyelid in downward gaze and conjunctival and scleral conjection were all diminished postoperatively. With the exception of compressive optic neuropathy, decreasing orbital volume via orbital fat removal produces satisfactory results in regression of proptosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A 24-year-old woman with a recent history of visual abnormality (obscurations) had bilateral optic disc swellings, dilatation of the optic nerve sheaths, monocular proptosis, and increased cerebrospinal fluid pressures. She was diagnosed as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). IIH can present with both papilledema and dural ectasia although the latter is usually seen as an isolated entity. Various conditions also have been implicated in IIH. However, apart from female sex, recent weight gain and obesity, there are no proven associations. In this case report, we present a case of IHH associated with two different pathologies: dural ectasia of the optic nerve sheaths and monocular proptosis [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: It is aimed to evaluate the amount of proptosis caused by injection of retrobulber anesthetic by Hertel exophthalmometer. Materials and Methods: One hundred eyes of 100 cases operated under retrobulber anesthesia were investigated. The Hertel exophthalmometric values of the cases were determined before anesthesia. Each patient had 3ml lidocaine as retrobulber injection. Hertel exophthalmometric values were obtained after anesthesia and compared with baseline. Results: In the study group, 54 (54.0%) female and 46 (46.0%) male patients with a mean age of 67.7±10.7 years were considered. All the patients had intraocular surgery (90 cataract surgery, 8 trabeculectomy, 2 secondary IOL implantation). The Hertel exophthalmometric value before injection was 15.73±2.52 mm. Following anesthesia, it was measured 18.37±2.85 mm. There was 2.64±1.15 mm proptosis caused by retrobulber anesthesia (pª0.001). Discussion: It was demonstrated that a significant amount of proptosis was caused by retrobulber anesthesia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Orbital pseudotumor or idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome (IOIS) is a very rare condition in childhood. Here we presented a case who had ocular pain, swelling, red eye and cloudy vision and consequently was diagnosed as IOIS. We aimed with this case report to discuss the differential diagnose of persistent ocular pain, redness and swelling in childhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
