Article: [Intraorbital cavernous hemangioma].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cavernous hemangioma is the most frequent primary vascular orbital tumor in adults. This slowly evolving lesion is usually located behind the ocular globe, between the extrinsic muscles. It leads to axial exophthalmia. Surgical treatment is indicated when there is a risk of visual impairment. The prognosis is related to the size of the lesion and its extension. CT scan is rather unspecific, but MRI is highly sensitive and specific in case of progressive painless exophthalmia.Revue de Stomatologie et de Chirurgie Maxillo-faciale 09/2008; 109(5):312-5. · 0.25 Impact Factor -
Article: [Orbital hydatid cyst].
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: CASE: A 72-year-old man presented with left exophthalmia, impaired visual acuity and ocular pain. CT revealed a posterolateral homogeneous unilocular cyst in the left orbital cavity. Ultrasound showed a 38 x 17 mm purely cystic retro-ocular thin lined mass. Hydatid serologic tests were positive. The cyst was completely enucleated, after irrigation with hypertonic saline solution. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically. DISCUSSION: The orbital hydatic cyst is a rare pathology in Western countries but remains relatively frequent in North-African countries. It can be observed in urban centers a high percentage of immigrant population. It is thus necessary to keep this pathology in mind when confronted to an intra-orbital cystic formation and to avoid its rupture.Revue de Stomatologie et de Chirurgie Maxillo-faciale 05/2008; 109(2):117-9. · 0.25 Impact Factor -

La tomodensitométrie localisait une formation ovalaire, de densité liquidienne, dans la partie postéroexterne de l’orbite gauche. L’échographie montrait une masse kystique oblongue rétro-oculaire, à paroi fine, mesurant 38 × 17 mm. La sérologie hydatique était positive. Le kyste a été énucléé après irrigation au sérum hypertonique. L’anatomopathologiste a confirmé le diagnostic de kyste hydatique.DiscussionFréquent au Maghreb, le kyste hydatique orbitaire est rare dans les pays occidentaux. Il peut être rencontré dans les centres urbains à forte population immigrée. Il faut évoquer ce diagnostic devant une formation kystique intraorbitaire de façon à prendre des précautions peropératoire et à éviter sa rupture.Revue de Stomatologie et de Chirurgie Maxillo-faciale. 109(2):117-119. -
Article: Les hémangiomes caverneux intra-orbitaires
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cavernous hemangioma is the most frequent primary vascular orbital tumor in adults. This slowly evolving lesion is usually located behind the ocular globe, between the extrinsic muscles. It leads to axile exophthalmia. Surgical treatment is indicated when there is a risk of visual impairment. The prognosis is related to the size of the lesion and its extension. CT scan is rather unspecific, but MRI is highly sensitive and specific in case of progressive painless exophthalmia.RésuméL’hémangiome caverneux – ou cavernome – est la plus fréquente des tumeurs vasculaires primitive de l’orbite de l’adulte. Cette lésion, d’évolution lente, est située le plus souvent en arrière du globe oculaire, dans le cône musculaire. Elle entraîne une exophtalmie axile. Lorsque la fonction visuelle est menacée, le traitement est chirurgical. Le pronostic dépend de la taille de la lésion et de ses rapports avec les structures de voisinage. L’aspect tomodensitométrique est relativement peu spécifique, l’IRM apporte des éléments sémiologiques caractéristiques, dans un contexte d’exophtalmie progressive et indolore.Revue de Stomatologie et de Chirurgie Maxillo-faciale.
