    Abstract Purpose: Unlike ptosis, upper eyelid retraction (ULR) is not a widely reported complication of the anophthalmic socket or post-enucleation socket syndrome (PESS). The clinical entity of post-enucleation ULR is investigated.
    Methods: 1) Two cases of post-enucleation ULR presenting to a specialist oculoplastic center (South Australian Institute of Ophthalmology, Adelaide, Australia) are described, 2) Single forced choice survey of 22 members of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons regarding their clinical experience of ULR in anophthalmia, and 3) English literature review.
    Results: One case of ULR occurred less than 1 year and the other several decades following enucleation, both cases underwent eyelid surgery. Eighty-two percent of oculoplastic surgeons surveyed believe ULR is a rare and late (50%) complication of anophthalmia and 13.5% had never seen a case. Ninety-five percent indicated that ptosis is more common than retraction. A literature review supports the rarity of ULR in anophthalmia and a number of etiological factors are discussed.
    Conclusions: Upper eyelid retraction is a rare and often late complication of the anophthalmic socket. It occurs less commonly than ptosis as part of PESS, but increased recognition and reporting may improve the understanding of its true incidence and cause.

    Abstract ABSTRACT A 78-year-old woman with dementia presented with functional visual loss secondary to bilateral chronic purulent dacryocystitis. A right external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) under local anaesthesia and sedation (LAS) was performed which failed after one month. Wound care was problematic as the patient removed all dressings and picked at the incision resulting in dehiscence and wound infection. She then underwent bilateral dacryocystectomy (DCT) under LAS and cauterisation of the common canaliculus via an endoscopic endonasal approach. Post-operatively her symptoms fully resolved. An endoscopic approach to lacrimal sac excision may be feasible in selected cases where a skin incision may not be desirable.

  7. Article ; Online: The Quantitated Internal Suture Browpexy: Comparison of Two Brow-Lifting Techniques in Patients Undergoing Upper Blepharoplasty.

    Abstract Purpose: To describe and evaluate 1) the quantitated internal suture browpexy (ISB), which combines the advantages of a browpexy and "brassiere suture," 2) the endoscopic Endotine browplasty, and 3) to compare these two techniques in patients undergoing simultaneous upper blepharoplasty.
    Methods: Retrospective review of patients undergoing bilateral upper blepharoplasty alone, bilateral ISB with upper blepharoplasty, and bilateral Endotine (MicroAire, Charlottesville, VA, U.S.A.) browplasty with upper blepharoplasty by one surgeon was performed. ImageJ 1.47v software (Wayne Rasband, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, U.S.A.) and standardized photographs were used to measure pre- and postoperative brow position at three positions (central, medial, lateral). Statistical analysis was performed using Sigmaplot version 12.5 for Windows (Systat Software, Inc., San Jose, CA, U.S.A.).
    Results: Thirty-three patients undergoing ISB with blepharoplasty, 33 undergoing Endotine browplasty with blepharoplasty, and 30 patients undergoing blepharoplasty alone were included. The 3 groups were matched for age and gender. Patients undergoing upper blepharoplasty alone showed statistically significant brow descent at all three brow positions (mean: -1.7 mm [p ≤ 0.04]). The quantitated ISB prevented brow descent but provided minimal brow elevation (mean lateral elevation: right eye (OD) +1.3 mm [p = 0.03]; OS +0.9 mm [p = 0.08]). Endotine browplasty with upper blepharoplasty provided significant brow elevation at all brow positions, particularly laterally (OD +4.0 mm [p < 0.001]; OS +3.5 mm [p < 0.001]). There were no complications.
    Conclusions: Upper blepharoplasty alone is associated with brow descent; performing ISB simultaneously effectively prevents this descent. Endotine browplasty with upper blepharoplasty achieves significant brow elevation. Quantitation of the browpexy allows reproducible placement of the suture thereby producing consistent and symmetrical results.

    Abstract Purpose: Anecdotal evidence suggests that detachment of the lateral canthal tendon during lateral orbitotomy results in shortening of the horizontal palpebral aperture (HPA) and rounding of the lateral canthal angle (LCA). This study investigated the change in HPA and LCA following lateral orbitotomy and the effect of proptosis on the HPA.
    Methods: Retrospective, single surgeon, review of all cases undergoing lateral orbitotomy, comprising of a canthotomy and cantholysis and reconstruction of the lateral canthus using a single suture. The HPA and lateral canthal height (LCH) were measured on pre- and postoperative photographs using ImageJ software. Changes in the LCA and degree of proptosis were also investigated. Exclusion criteria included previous eyelid surgery, acute trauma, and less than 6 months' follow up.
    Results: There were 41 cases of lateral orbitotomy in 27 patients, 67% female, average age 51 years. Twenty patients had thyroid eye disease of which 14 underwent bilateral surgery; the other 7 patients had a variety of orbital pathologies. Thirteen patients underwent unilateral orbitotomy with the contralateral eye serving as a control. Average follow up was 23 months. Overall, the HPA and proptosis were reduced by 0.6 mm (p = 0.143) and 3.4 mm (p < 0.001), respectively. A 0.2-mm reduction in HPA was observed for every 1-mm reduction in proptosis. A difference in post-orbitotomy HPA was observed between cases and their matched controls (p = 0.016). No rounding of the LCA or significant change in LCH was observed following lateral orbitotomy.
    Conclusions: The described technique of lateral orbitotomy and simple reconstruction do not appear to cause lateral canthal drift or rounding. There was no significant change in HPA or LCH. The degree of change of proptosis does appear to influence the change of HPA.

    Abstract A 31-year-old man with epiphora and mucous discharge from a traumatic lacrimal fistula underwent a computed tomographic dacryocystogram, revealing a fistula extending from the anterior ethmoid air cells through the lacrimal sac to the overlying skin with coexisting nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy enabled complete marsupialization of the lacrimal sac and agger nasi air cell, removing the tract between these structures. Simultaneous probing of the common canaliculus and fistula tract under direct visualization allowed the identification of the internal fistula origin in relation to the internal ostium on the lateral sac wall. The fistula was excised with a trephine over a guide wire via an external approach. Use of the endoscopic technique for excision of acquired lacrimal fistulas may be especially helpful in cases with coexisting nasolacrimal duct obstruction where the fistula extends to the sinus cavity or suspected foreign bodies.
