Direct browplasty.

Abstract

To the facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, direct browplasty is a useful adjunct to other facial rejuvenative procedures. Unlike other procedures designed to correct the ptotic brow, direct browplasty allows the surgeon to reposition the brow more accurately. In addition, use of a layered plastic closure results in an acceptable surgical scar that can further be camouflaged with appropriate cosmetic techniques in selected patients. The indications, surgical technique, and postoperative care are described.

Absorbable screws in endoscope-assisted forehead lifting.

Many methods have been used to make the soft tissue fixation in endoscope-assisted forehead lifting (EAFL). Since we started doing EAFL, we have employed the fixation with stainless screws and absorbable screws. After noticing that the temporary fixation with metallic screws had some negative effects, we changed to temporary fixation by bioabsorbable (polylactic acid copolymer) screws. The purpose of this study is to transmit our experience and to comment on some points that we believe will improve this method. Our study includes the endoscopic surgeries we have performed over the last four years. Ninety-nine patients were operated on. In 61 of them, absorbable screws were used. We have had very good results using these screws without important complications. We think that they offer a great improvement to endoscopic facial surgery.

Tonic pupil and sarcoidosis.

PURPOSE: To present a case of tonic pupil associated with enhancement in the region of the ciliary ganglion on magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with sarcoidosis. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: A 52-year-old woman with sarcoidosis had a right pupil exhibiting sectoral palsy to light and light-near dissociation. RESULTS: Topical administration of 0.1% pilocarpine demonstrated supersensitivity of the right pupillary sphincter muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast revealed enhancement in the region of the right ciliary ganglion. CONCLUSIONS: Tonic pupil may be a manifestation of sarcoidosis, and in such cases, MRI may show enhancement at the level of the ciliary ganglion. Sarcoidosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of tonic pupil.
