Two patients with orbital vascular malformation ipsilateral facial nevus flammeus were studied. The literature contains one similar case that interestingly shares with our cases the lack of leptomeningeal angiomatosis. Orbitofacial angiomatosis seems to be a distinct entity from meningofacial angiomatosis because of its true vascular malformation of the orbit.

Twelve adult patients with 17 chalazia underwent trial intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide. Seven chalazia resolved within two weeks after only one injection, and another six after two injections. Two lesions failed to respond to two injections, and two lesions responded to one injection, but either recurred or another lesion developed. Patients were satisfied with the procedure, which appears to be a safe, convenient, and effective altefnative to chalazion surgery.
