    Abstract Purpose: To describe a reconstructive technique of the superior eyelid with flaps and free grafts after excision of a basal cell carcinoma.
    Methods: Single case report of a 79-year-old woman who presented to our hospital with a basal cell carcinoma of the upper eyelid margin with initial erosion.
    Results: A large and full-thickness excision of the carcinoma was performed. The reconstruction technique should be customized to the individual patient. In this case, the use of a full-thickness tarsal graft from the contralateral upper eyelid, followed by an ipsilateral bipedicled flap and finally by a skin graft, was an effective surgical procedure, performed in one stage, without complications, and with good functional and esthetic results.
    Conclusions: Malignant neoplasms represent the leading cause of plastic reconstruction in the orbital region. Surgical techniques must be individualized for each patient and for each type of carcinoma. Reconstructive techniques with free grafts and flaps yield excellent results in the orbital region, particularly when some advice and a few fundamental rules are followed, namely accurate hemostasis of the receiving graft bed by moderate use of diathermy, careful suturing of the edges, and application of a compressive dressing for at least 4 days. Postoperative complications are very rare.

    Abstract Purpose: This retrospective study reviews a group of patients with retinal breaks or retinal detachment following ocular trauma.
    Methods: A total of 94 patients were included in the study. They underwent closed globe injuries causing multiple retinal breaks or retinal detachment at time of presentation in the emergency department. Analysis concerned epidemiologic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects, both in short-term (1 and 3 months) and long-term (6-12 months) follow-up.
    Results: A total of 85% of patients were male, involved in work-related injuries, and complaining visual function decrease. Retinal breaks were mostly singular, U-shaped, and located in the upper temporal quadrant. At presentation, visual acuity ≥5/10 and Ocular Trauma Score of 4 were the most represented. Fifty-eight patients (61.70%) underwent repair within 48 hours of the trauma, 27 (28.73%) within 7 days, and 9 (9.57%) more than 7 days after trauma. Procedures performed were photocoagulation with argon laser (52%), episcleral buckle (34.45%), or vitrectomy associated with episcleral buckle and intraoperative argon laser (13.55%). A total of 92% of patients treated within 48 hours had better or unchanged visual acuity in 6-12 months of follow-up. All patients treated more than 7 days after trauma had worse visual acuity (p<0.01 with Student t test).
    Conclusions: Detailed clinical history, well-done preoperative examination, early diagnosis, and prompt parasurgical or surgical repair are significant prognostic factors for better visual outcome and lower incidence of relapse.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the morphology of optic discs in eyes suffering from retinal vein occlusion (RVO) alone or in combination with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
    Methods: Prospective, observational study. 48 consecutive patients were enrolled, 30 with unilateral RVO diagnosis, 18 with unilateral retinal vein occlusion (RVO) associated with POAG. We divided RVOs on the basis of occlusion site: arterio-venous crossing (AV-RVO), optic cup (OC-RVO), optic nerve (ON-RVO) with head nerve swelling (ONHS-RVO) or without it (NONHS-RVO). A control group of 25 patients who were sex and age matched was selected.
    Results: Comparing the fellow eyes of the patients with RVO and control healthy eyes, no differences emerged in cup/disc ratio but they came out for the HRT values in Rim Area, cup shape measure and height variation contour (p<0.05). The most frequent occlusion site was at the level of an arteriovenous crossing in patients not suffering from POAG (36.7%) and at the level of the optic cup in patients with RVO and POAG (50%). In the RVO group without POAG, the OC-RVO subgroup has shown an higher cup area (0.366±0.094) and cup/disc area ratio (0.184±0.063), a lower rim volume (0.374±0.021) and a different cup shape measure (-0.221±0.066) (p<0.05) compared with the AV and NONHS sites. Compared with NONHS group differences emerged also for the fibres parameters and in the height variation contour (0.346±0.081). Also in the RVO group with POAG significant differences (p<0.05) have been surveyed between OC-RVO and other occlusion sites in cup area (0.119±0.029), cup/disc area ratio (0.532±0.09), rim volume (0.374±0.07), cup/shape measure (-0.079±0.013).
    Conclusions: Classification of the analyzed parameters on the basis of the occlusion site provides a basis for which clinical decisions and research on causal factors in future studies can be based on.
