Surgical approaches to blowout fracture have been made through a skin inci-sion in the lower eyelid placed just below the eyelashes[a subciliary pproach], a conjunctival approach, a transantral approach, or a combined approach. Authors repaired the orbital floor fracture through the transconjunctival and transantral approaches simultaneously in 4 patients confirmed orbital floor fracture on CT scan from April to September 1998. Transconjunctival approach could avoid ectropion, lower eyelid retraction and transantral endoscopic orbital floor exploration could allow precise determination of fracture size, location, and replacement of prolapsed tissue and placement of implant over the bony defect. So it was possible to repair with a minimal size of implant and could avoid the complications caused by a too large implant in the posteriorly located orbital floor fracture.

PURPOSE: This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of autogenous dermis graft in managing the exposed porous orbital implants. METHOD: Nine cases with exposed orbital implants(hydroxyapatite or Medpor(R)) were included in this study: six cases with hydroxyapatite and the remaining three cases with Medpor(R). Each of the cases was repaired with autogenous dermis graft. RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 13.3 months. Of nine cases, seven implants remained covered at the last visit. During the follow-up period, three of them received a second dermis patch graft surgery for re-exposure. The final success rate was 77.7%. CONCLUSION: These results suggested that autogenous dermis graft served as an excellent material for repair of the exposed porous orbital implants.

Acardiac twinning affects 1 in 100 monozygotic twin pregnancies and 1 in 35,000 pregnancies overall. This condition is characterized by the absence or rudimentary development of fetal heart, and associated with various anomaly. The presence of an acardiac twin requires the normal (or "pump") twin to provide circulation for itself, as well as the acardiac sibling. The acardiac malformations are uniformly fatal in the affected twin, and mortality in the co-twin is as high as 55%. The principal perinatal problems associated with acardiac twinning are pump-twin congestive heart failure, maternal hydramnios, and preterm delivery. We recently experienced a case of acardius anceps associated with a normal male infant, so present with a brief review of the literature.
