An unusual case of intraorbital foreign body and its management.
(49/94)
Intraorbital foreign bodies are usually the result of accidental trauma and can lead to considerable morbidity. We report an unusual case of an industrial injury in a plastic manufacturing unit wherein hot molten plastic splashed and solidified inside the orbit. The resultant increased intraorbital pressure led to loss of vision in that eye. The extreme temperature of the foreign body caused extensive thermal damage to the surrounding adnexal structures. Staged reconstructive surgery was undertaken to repair the damage, with an acceptable final cosmetic outcome. Employment of protective eye wear to prevent such accidents in high-risk occupations should be made mandatory. (+info)

A case of fat injection for treating subcutaneous atrophy caused by local administration of corticosteroid.
(52/94)
A 42 year old female received intramuscular injection of 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide on the right upper arm for the treatment of pollen allergy at another clinic. Subcutaneous atrophy appeared at the injection site a few days after. Since there were no signs of improvement, the patient visited our clinic for further examination. The subcutaneous atrophy after local injection of corticosteroids is generally considered to be reversible and it improves within about 1 year after the injection. After one year since local injection, subcutaneous atrophy did not improve and we performed fat injection using autologous fat. As a treatment, we thought that the fat injection method is a superior method since it is less invasive from a cosmetic standpoint. (+info)

A case of mimicking angioedema: chin silicone granulomatous reaction spreading all over the face after receiving liquid silicone injection forty years previously.
(56/94)
Liquid injectable silicone has been used for soft tissue augmentation for five decades. Many complications following liquid silicone injection have been reported. To diagnose and manage silicone granuloma remains difficult. Silicone granuloma must be diagnosed with the history of liquid silicone injection and the histology of tissue biopsy. We presented a case of granulomatous reaction after the injection of liquid silicone for chin augmentation forty years ago, causing total facial swelling, which mimicking angioedema initially. We administered methylprednisolone to the patient. Initial response to methylprednisolone was favorable. (+info)
