    Abstract Due to their relatively high prevalence and commensalism, the pathogenicity of Demodex mites has been debated. Recent data, however, show Demodex to be associated with skin and ocular surface diseases such as rosacea, blepharitis, and keratitis. Here the authors report the first known case, to the best of the their knowledge, of Demodex infestation mimicking preseptal cellulitis in an adult human. A 29-year-old male bilaterally blind from advanced retinopathy of prematurity presented with a 2-month history of right-greater-than-left upper eyelid and periocular/cheek swelling, redness, and ocular discharge that did not resolve with oral antibiotics or oral steroids. Based on MRI findings, biopsies of the right lacrimal gland, right orbital fat, and right upper eyelid preseptal skin were obtained which revealed marked intrafollicular Demodex mite density and budding yeasts in the upper eyelid skin. This case serves to alert clinicians to this entity that may not otherwise be usually considered in ophthalmic clinical practice.

    Abstract A healthy 32-year-old woman presented with the acute onset of left sided eye pain, upper eyelid fullness, and binocular diplopia during light weightlifting. Examination elevated intraocular pressure, proptosis, upper eyelid ptosis, and motility deficits. CT demonstrated a well-circumscribed, homogeneous-appearing extraconal mass in the superior left orbit. The patient underwent an urgent orbitotomy with the excision of a hemorrhagic mass. Histopathology showed a glomus tumor with atypical features and hemorrhagic infarction, best classified as having uncertain malignant potential. A B-Raf proto-oncogene V600E mutation was detected with immunohistochemistry, which suggests a more aggressive tumor behavior yet presents an opportunity for targeted primary or adjunctive therapy. This is the first reported case of a B-Raf proto-oncogene-mutant atypical glomus tumor arising in the orbit.

    Abstract Purpose: Two cases are described of necrotizing Sweet syndrome (nSS), a rare variant of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis that mimics necrotizing soft tissue infections.
    Observation: A 74-year-old female with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) presented with isolated periorbital nSS that closely mimicked necrotizing fasciitis (NF); she displayed pathergy to debridement, was exquisitely responsive to corticosteroids, and underwent successful first-stage reconstruction of the eyelid with full-thickness skin grafting. A second 40-year-old female patient with relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) presented with multifocal nSS most prominently involving the eyelid. Positive herpes zoster virus (HSV) PCR and bacterial superinfection complicated the diagnosis. She improved with chemotherapy for AML and corticosteroid therapy.
    Conclusion: nSS is rare and a high level of clinical suspicion as well as an understanding of its distinguishing features is necessary to avoid undue morbidity. Identification of pathergy, histopathology, microbiology, and clinical context are critical to avoid misdiagnosis of infection.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the perceived age of patients before and after functional upper blepharoplasty.
    Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty by a single surgeon at an academic center. The inclusion criterion was having external photographs before and after blepharoplasty. Exclusion criteria included any other concurrent eyelid or facial surgery. Primary endpoint: perceived change in age after surgery as judged by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) surgeons.
    Results: Sixty-seven patients (14 men, 53 women) were included. Mean pre-operative age was 66.9 years (range 37.8-89.4) and mean post-operative age was 67.4 years (range 38.6-89). The mean perceived age pre-operatively was 68.9 years, and the mean perceived age post-operatively was 67.1 years, a change of 1.8 years (
    Discussion: Functional upper blepharoplasty by an experienced ASOPRS surgeon was shown to reduce the perceived age of a patient by an average of 1.8 years.

    Abstract Purpose: Utilization of antibiotics for endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (endo-DCR) is largely dependent on individual surgeon preference. This study aimed to investigate prescribing practices of pre-, peri-, and postoperative antibiotics and effects on postoperative infection rates in patients who underwent endo-DCR.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review of institutional data at two academic centers of endo-DCR cases from 2015-2020 was performed. Postoperative infection rates for patients who received pre-, peri-, and postoperative antibiotics, individually or in combination, and those who did not, were compared via odds ratio and ANOVA linear regression.
    Results: 331 endo-DCR cases were included; 22 cases (6.6%) had a postoperative infection. There was no significant difference in the infection rates between patients without an active preoperative dacryocystitis who received different permutations of peri- and postoperative antibiotics. Patients who received preoperative antibiotics within two weeks of surgery for preexisting acute dacryocystitis, but did not receive peri- or postoperative antibiotics, had a higher rate of postoperative infections (
    Conclusions: Our data suggest antibiotics may be beneficial only when patients have a recent or active dacryocystitis prior to surgery. Otherwise, our data do not support the routine use of antibiotic prophylaxis in endo-DCR.

  9. Article ; Online: Orbital Involvement by Biphenotypic Sinonasal Sarcoma With a Literature Review.

    Abstract Purpose: To document a case of a biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma that impinged on the orbit via a tumor-induced mucocele and review the previous literature devoted to this condition.
    Methods: A clinicopathologic case report with detailed histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and radiological studies with tabulations of previously reported cases and immunohistochemical stains for ruling out mimicking lesions.
    Results: A biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma arose from the ethmoid sinus in a middle-aged man. The tumor induced a mucocele that bowed the medial orbital lamina papyracea into the orbit and caused diplopia and mild proptosis. The biopsy's dual positivity for S100 and smooth muscle actin together with positive paired box 3 immunohistochemical staining established the diagnosis of biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma.
    Conclusion: Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma, which can involve the orbit in 25% of cases, is a rare head and neck malignancy that has only recently been described. Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma is a low-grade, locally aggressive, nonmetastasizing sarcoma displaying both neural and muscle differentiation. It is further characterized by rearrangements of the PAX3 gene with multiple fusion partners, most commonly MAML3 (Mastermind like transcriptional coactivator 3). It occurs predominantly in middle-aged women and exclusively in the sinonasal tract. However, it can spread throughout the central facial structures to invade the brain if not detected early. Ophthalmologists should be aware of this new entity to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. The previous literature devoted to this condition was reviewed and analyzed for clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features. In circumstances where molecular testing is not available, paired box 3 immunohistochemical staining can be used as an alternative diagnostic marker. The current case is most unusual because the orbital findings were induced by a mucocele caused by the tumor that obstructed the sinus ostium. This produced diplopia without direct tumor invasion into the orbital fat.

    Abstract Purpose: To present a case of adult onset asthma with periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX), and discuss existing literature on adult orbital xanthogranulomatous diseases (AOXGDs) and their treatment.
    Observations: A 63 year old male presented with progressive bilateral eyelid swelling with overlying yellow plaques associated with asthma. CT scan showed periorbital swelling with enlargement of the superior and lateral rectus muscles bilaterally. Biopsy demonstrated orbital xanthogranulomatous disease with increased IgG4 plasma cells. The patient was treated with intralesional triamcinolone, oral prednisone, and cyclophosphamide without significant improvement. Surgical debulking was eventually performed which improved his external symptoms until he was lost to follow up 15 months later.
    Conclusions and importance: AOXGDs are a group of rare infiltrative diseases of the eyelids and orbit that can be associated with significant systemic morbidities. While they all have similar underlying histopathologic features, appreciating the clinical difference between these diseases is important in understanding patient prognosis and ensuring appropriate clinical monitoring. There is also growing research demonstrating that AAPOX, along with other AOXGDs, may represent part of a continuum of IgG4 related disease, similar to what is seen in this case. There is currently no reliably effective treatment for AOXGDs, and additional research into the management of these diseases is necessary.
