An adjustable self-supporting eyelid speculum.

Abstract

I have modified a Maumenee-Park eyelid speculum to permit eyelid retraction in the direct plane of action of the lids and to avoid pressure on the globe from the speculum weight. A ball-joint at the end of the blade allows the blade to adjust with the eyelid. Increased angulation of the sidearm places the blade perpendicular to the eyelid. An adjustable rod at the screw end removes the weight of the speculum and secures the device.

Subcutaneous emphysema secondary to pulmonary cavity in absence of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum.

Subcutaneous emphysema is a common condition occurring after chest injury. It may also be observed in association with pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum as a result of pathological changes in the respiratory tract. Spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema in absence of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum is rare. We report a case of spontaneous subcutaneous emphysema in isolation secondary to fibrocavitatory lesion in the chest along with review of the literature.
