This is a case report of a patient with parkinsonism on levodopa therapy who developed a lid margin melanoma. The possible association is discussed.
A retrospective study of 58 thyroid patients undergoing eyelid surgery for thyroid related lid malposition is reported. A treatment strategy is suggested, based on the results of this experience. The following points are stressed: (1) The importance of recognising and relieving the inferior rectus tethering component of upper lid retraction when present. (2) The usefulness of a scleral graft in lower lid retractor recession. (3) The inadequacy of lateral tarsorrhaphy in relieving lid retraction but its value in camouflage.
Oncocytic tumours of the eyelids are rare, only one previous case having been reported. This paper describes a second such lid tumour affecting the medial upper lid. We present the clinical features, surgical management, and histology of the lesion.
It has been observed that a vitrectomised, gas filled, phakic eye can produce a real, inverted, aerial image of the fundus anterior to the cornea. The optics of this phenomenon are discussed.
