Meningioma en plaque are extremely rare, not only dose it form a thin layer on the inside of the dura but also infiltrates it an invades the adjacent bone. Painless, slowly developing exophthalmos with palpable swelling in the ipsilateral temporal region, and later impairment of vision and ocular motility indicate menigioma "en plaque" in the temporal region. The authors report a case of meningioma "en plaque" arisen from the outer third of sphenoid ridge.

To detect differences among the measurements of the Hertel exophthalmometers at different bar sizes and with different anufacturer`s models, exophthalmometries were performed for 27 normal subjects and 24 patients with thyroid ophthalmopathy at the three different bar sizes and with the models of three different manufacturers. The measurements decreased with the decrease of the bar size and increased with the increase of the bar size in all situations. The measurements of three different manufacturer`s models at the same bar size were different from each other. Therefore, Hertel exophthalmometries should be performed at the same bar size and with the same manufacturer`s model to find the exact changes of exophthalmos between repetitious examinations.

Orbital venography was performed on four eyes which showed the unilateral exophthalmos and were suspected as orbital tumors. One eye was confirmed in the nature and location of tumor by the tophographic finding and tumor-staining figure of venography. One eye was confirmed in only the location of the tumor by surgery, which is consistent with the venographic picture. The other two eyes were not confirmed by surgery but we can speculate the some space occupying lesion by viewing the topogra phic findings of venography. Neither complication nor sequela was observed during or after the venographic procedures. We think orbital venography is preferably valuable for diagnosing the orbital lesion.

ABSTRACT Kimura disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology that primarily affects the head and neck region with lymph node involvement. Young to middle-aged adult Asian males are predominantly affected. The most common presentation is painless subcutaneous swelling in the head and neck region, while proptosis or orbital involvement is very rarely reported. KD shares some features with other inflammatory and neoplastic disorders, including lymphoma; thus, investigations to confirm the diagnosis should not be delayed. Systemic corticosteroids are commonly used to treat KD and show an excellent response; however, the optimal treatment is still uncertain, and KD has a high recurrence rate. We describe the case of a patient with KD who presented with proptosis and post-auricular swelling, which responded well to oral prednisolone treatment.

The meningioma constitutes 12 to 16 percent of all intracranial tumors. Generally, meningiomas arise from intracranial arachnoid villi and located intracranially. Extension of an intracranial meningioma onto the frontal and ethmoidal sinus occurs occassionally, but primary meningiomas of the frontal and ethmoidal sinus are extremely rare. The authors experienced a case of cystic, meningotheliomatous meningioma containing lamellated calcification involving of the lest frontal and ethmoidal sinus, which presented with protrusion of frontal bone and exophthalmos. In addition to our case, other types of extracranial meningioma are discussed with review of literature.

We presented several cases of the exophthalmos due to the orbital tumors, with the review of the literatures. We performed modified Kronlein operation and anterior orbitotomy, appropriately for each cases to improve the visual acuity and at least to correct cosmetically the proptosed eye. It will be better to do one's best in order to search a possible way to save the eye ball by which the ophthalmologist can remove the orbital tumor even if the patient lost his vision.
