OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical characters and therapeutic methods of orbital apex syndrome caused by sinus diseases.
METHOD:
Six cases of orbital apex syndrome originated from sinus diseases were retrospective analyzed in our hospital from August 2003 to February 2009. Different therapeutic methods were taken according to different causes of disease.
RESULT:
Four cases of sinus infection,one cases of sphenoethmoidal mucocele, one cases of sinus squamous cell carcinoma. The results of patients with orbital apex syndrome included cure and effectiveness in 2 cases respectively, death from myocardial infarction in one case, and one case is still following up.
CONCLUSION
Orbital apex syndrome originated from sinus diseases was rare, which was mainly caused by sinus infection. The key point is the correct etiology diagnosis in early phase. Treatment with endoscopic sinus surgery early is a good effective method for orbital apex syndrome caused by sinus diseases, in the same time with enough dosage of antibiotic and glucocorticoid therapy intravenously.

PURPOSE: We present a case of orbital abscess following porous orbital implant infection in a 73-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS: Just one month after a seemingly uncomplicated enucleation and porous polyethylene (Medpor(R)) orbital implant surgery, implant exposure developed with profuse pus discharge. The patient was unresponsive to implant removal and MRI confirmed the presence of an orbital pus pocket. Despite extirpation of the four rectus muscles, inflammatory granulation debridement and abscess drainage, another new pus pocket developed. RESULTS: After partial orbital exenteration, the wound finally healed well without any additional abscess formation. CONCLUSIONS: A patient who has risk factors for delayed wound healing must be examined thoroughly and extreme care such as exenteration must be taken if there is persistent infection.

We report the successful removal of a retrobulbar foreign body using a transcranial approach in a 63-year-old patient with a penetrating injury to the left eye. Initial ocular examination revealed a corneoscleral laceration, hyphema, a traumatic cataract, and vitreous hemorrhage. Visual acuity consisted only of the perception of hand motion. Computed tomography demonstrated an orbital foreign body in the retrobulbar area. Emergency corneoscleral suturing, phacoemulsification of the cataract, and vitrectomy with posterior vitreous detachment were performed. Fifteen days after the emergency operation, we successfully removed the orbital foreign body using a transcranial approach, although the foreign body was very close to the optic nerve. On fundus examination 6 months later, a white, fibrous lesion was seen inferior to the optic disc, and the corrected visual acuity was 20/30. These positive results may be due to the complete vitrectomy at the correct time performed by a retina specialist and the minimal pressure on the eyeball while removing the foreign body, which resulted from the use of a transcranial approach.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and therapy of surgical intervention for orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis in adults.
METHODSFour adults with orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis were retrospectively reviewed. The patients underwent transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery or combined with eyebrow incision after conservative treatments failed.
RESULTSThere were 2 cases with orbital abscess, 2 cases with subperiosteal abscess. Two of them suffered from diabetes. After operation, constitutional symptoms and ocular symptoms disappeared in all 4 patients. CT was rechecked during the postoperative follow-up. The imaging showed that the orbital and nasal lesions were obviously relieved or disappeared.
CONCLUSIONSThe orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis in adults are clinically rare. The patients are usually with low immunity or underlying conditions, such as diabetes. Based on the basis of controlling basic diseases, the treatment outcome of orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis in adults is affirmative by surgery and conservative managements.

OBJECTIVE:
To study curative effects of endoscopic sinus surgery performed on orbital periosteum abscess.
METHOD:
Application of ceftazidime and vancomycin 24 h later, operation on maxillary sinus and ethmoidectomy were performed under general anesthesia, Meanwhile bacterial culture and drug sensitive test were performed to the purulent secretion from accessory nasal sinuses. Nasal septum and middle turbinate, which hampered the drainage or clearing in nasal cavity, were undertaken operation in same or second stage. After operation 24 h, the wadding in nasal cavity was removed, and the effusion in nasal cavity was suctioned for 2 times daily until wound surface was covered by fresh granulation. Patients were used ceftazidime and vancomycin for 5 days, in which some patients was replaced antibiotics by drug sensitive test.
RESULT:
No complications occurred. Ophthalmagia, expanding of eye and headache were obviously improved, dropsy of blepharon and chemosis were decreased obviously and the movement of eye was increased much. After operation 13 - 22 days, the physical sign in ocular region recovered normal in all patients, no recurrence occurred during a 6 months follow-up, and only 6 patients presented discontinue pain in ocular region.
CONCLUSION
Endonasal endoscopic surgery for acute orbital of intraorbital abscess is safe and effective technique with obvious privillege.
