Relationship of The Characteristic Imaging Findings of Breast Cancer with Molecular Subtypes in Young Women.

BACKGROUND: The characteristic imaging findings of breast cancer in young women are not yet fully understood. It causes a delay in diagnosis by mixing with benign findings. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the imaging and histopathological features of breast cancer in women aged under 40 years. METHODS: In our center, 537 suspicious lesions were detected in a total of 15,223 adult female patients under 40 years who were evaluated by breast ultrasonography (US). As a result of the mammographic, histopathological, and immunohistochemical analysis, 101 lesions meeting the study criteria were included in the sample. RESULTS: The luminal subtypes of breast cancer mostly visualized as irregularly shaped spiculated lesions with calcification and architectural distortion mammography and presented as masses that were sometimes accompanied by increased echogenicity in the surrounding tissue on US. The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) enriched subtypes mostly had microlobulated or indistinct margins with heterogeneous echoes accompanied by high calcification on mammography. The triple-negative (TN) subtypes generally appeared as microlobulated lesions with angular or indistinct margins, hypo echogenicity, posterior enhancement or shadowing, and vascularization. CONCLUSION: Some radiological features of breast cancer in young women were found to be associated with molecular subtypes similar to other age groups in the literature. However, unlike other age groups, the incidences of the HER2-enriched subtype presenting with only calcification, TN subtypes presenting with circumscribed masses, and calcification were found to be low among the young women in our study.

Outcomes of high-risk breast lesions diagnosed using image-guided core needle biopsy: results from a multicenter retrospective study.

PURPOSE: The clinical management of high-risk lesions using image-guided biopsy is challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the rates at which such lesions were upgraded to malignancy and identify possible predictive factors for upgrading high-risk lesions. METHODS: This retrospective multicenter analysis included 1.343 patients diagnosed with high-risk lesions using an image-guided core needle or vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB). Only patients managed using an excisional biopsy or with at least one year of documented radiological follow-up were included. For each, the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category, number of samples, needle thickness, and lesion size were correlated with malignancy upgrade rates in different histologic subtypes. Pearson's chi-squared test, the Fisher-Freeman-Halton test, and Fisher's exact test were used for the statistical analyses. RESULTS: The overall upgrade rate was 20.6%, with the highest rates in the subtypes of intraductal papilloma (IP) with atypia (44.7%; 55/123), followed by atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) (38.4%; 144/375), lobular neoplasia (LN) (12.7%; 7/55), papilloma without atypia (9.4%; 58/611), flat epithelial atypia (FEA) (8.7%; 10/114), and radial scars (RSs) (4.6%; 3/65). There was a significant relationship between the upgrade rate and BI-RADS category, number of samples, and lesion size Lesion size was the most predictive factor for an upgrade in all subtypes. CONCLUSION: ADH and atypical IP showed considerable upgrade rates to malignancy, requiring surgical excision. The LN, IP without atypia, pure FEA, and RS subtypes showed lower malignancy rates when the BI-RADS category was lower and in smaller lesions that had been adequately sampled using VAB. After being discussed in a multidisciplinary meeting, these cases could be managed with follow-up instead of excision.

Unilateral Axillary Lymphadenopathy after the Inactivated SARS-COV-2 (CoronaVac) Vaccine: Ultrasonographic Imaging

Background: Currently, unilateral clinical and subclinical axillary adenopathy cases associated with the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are increasingly reported. However, only one study on axillary adenopathy due to the CoronaVac vaccine is published. Aims: To present the incidence, severity, and ultrasonographic findings of axillary adenopathy that developed in healthcare professionals in Turkey after they were vaccinated with CoronaVac against coronavirus disease-19. Study Design: A prospective study. Methods: In Turkey, the first dose of the CoronaVac vaccine for coronavirus disease-19 was administered to healthcare professionals on January 14, 2021, and the second dose on February 11, 2021. This study covered the period from January 21, 2021 (1 week after the first dose), and April 15, 2021 (9 weeks after the second dose). Individuals who had a history of COVID-19 more than 3 weeks after vaccine doses, systemic disease, and diagnosis and treatment history of breast cancer were excluded. The axillary lymph nodes of the vaccinated and contralateral arms were evaluated in 101 volunteer healthcare professionals using axillary ultrasonography. Results: A significant difference was found in the cortical thicknesses of the lymph nodes between the vaccinated and contralateral axilla after both the first (*p < 0.01) and second (*p < 0.01) doses. Accordingly, the rates of subclinical lymphatic hyperplasia on the vaccinated side were 25.7% (n = 26/101) after the first and 31.1% (n = 28/90) after the second dose. Lymph nodes with pathological appearance based on a reduced echogenic hilum with marked cortical thickening were found only in 2.2%. Among the 39 cases in which antibodies (immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M) were measured, the antibody level was classified as <10 and ≥10. No statistically significant difference was found in the cortical thickness of the axillary lymph nodes between patients with high antibody levels (≥10) and those with low antibody levels (<10) (p > 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, clinical signs of axillary lymph node hyperplasia were not detected after vaccination with CoronaVac. Mild and diffuse thickening of the CoronaVac vaccine-induced lymph nodes was more common than pathological and palpable lymph nodes.

Lateral Ligament Reconstruction for Ball-and-Socket Ankle Accompanying Lateral Ankle Instability: A Case Report and Literature Review.

The ball-and-socket ankle joint is a rare deformity characterized by the loss of concavity in the trochlear surface of the talus with rounding of the articular surfaces of the distal fibula and tibia. Frequently, tarsal coalitions, fibular hypoplasia, and shortening of the limb accompany this deformity. To date, no data have been reported on surgical treatment of lateral ankle joint instability and peroneal tendon dislocation concomitant with a ball-and-socket ankle joint. In the present study, we report the case of a 43-year-old male patient with right lateral ankle joint instability and peroneal tendon dislocation in a ball-and-socket ankle joint, with accompanying tarsal coalition. This was surgically treated by lateral ankle joint ligament reconstruction and tenodesis.

The Relationship Between Breast Cancer and Risk Factors: A Single-Center Study.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between breast cancer and known risk factors in patients who had mammography (MG) for breast cancer screening or ultrasonography and/or MG for diagnostic purposes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the period of January-December, 2011, a questionnaire composed of 17 questions was applied to 2862 female patients and MG and/or US examination was performed afterwards. Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The mean age was 51.05±8.98, age at menarche was 13.0±1.6 and age at menopause was 47±5.2. The first pregnancy was at 20±4.6. Out of 2862 cases, 242 had breast cancer diagnosis and 32 were newly diagnosed. There was no correlation between menarche age, age at menopause or first pregnancy and breast cancer. There was no relationship between breast cancer risk and hormone replacement therapy or oral contraceptive use. In patients with the diagnosis of breast cancer (242 cases), 61 had (25%) a positive family history. There was a significant correlation between the presence of a positive family history and having breast cancer (p=0.003). CONCLUSION: The presence of breast cancer in the family has the strongest relationship among all risk factors. It is important to have regular followup of these patients and to raise the awareness of patients.

The effect of deep sclerectomy on ocular blood flow: a 6-month clinical trial.

BACKGROUND/AIM: To investigate the effect of deep sclerectomy on retrobulbar blood flow. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective study included 20 eyes of 20 patients with open angle glaucoma. Color Doppler imaging (CDI) examinations were performed before and 2, 12, and 24 weeks after deep sclerectomy. Peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistance index (RI) were measured for the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and temporal and nasal short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCAs) at each examination and the results were compared. RESULTS: A significant decrease was determined in intraocular pressure (IOP) (P < 0.001) and a significant increase in ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) (P < 0.001) at all postoperative examinations. The EDV in OA increased significantly (P < 0.001), but the change in RI was not statistically significant (P = 0.67). EDV increased and RI decreased significantly in CRA and SPCA (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Deep sclerectomy decreases IOP and increases OPP significantly. Retrobulbar blood flow was seen to improve after deep sclerectomy.

Painful Chest Wall Swellings: Tietze Syndrome or Chest Wall Tumor?

BACKGROUND: Tietze syndrome (TS) is an inflammatory condition characterized by chest pain and swelling of costochondral junction. Primary chest wall tumors may mimic TS. In this article, we report our experience of approximately 121 patients initially diagnosed as TS and determined chest wall tumor in some cases at the follow-up. METHODS: This is a retrospective review of patients diagnosed as TS by clinical examination, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, routine laboratory tests, and computed tomography (CT) of chest: all treated and followed up between March 2001 and July 2012. There were 121 cases (41 males and 80 females; mean age, 39.6 ± 3.2 years) of TS. RESULTS: In 27 patients with initial normal radiological findings, the size of swellings had doubled during the follow-up period (mean, 8.51 ± 2.15 months). These patients were reevaluated with chest CT and bone scintigraphy and then early diagnostic biopsy was performed. Pathologic examination revealed primary chest wall tumor in 13 patients (5 malignant, 8 benign). CT had a sensitivity of 92.3% and a specificity of 64.2% in detection of tumors (kappa: 0.56, p = 0.002), whereas the sensitivity and the specificity of bone scan were 84.6 and 35.7%, respectively (kappa: 0.199, p = 0.385). CONCLUSION: Primary chest wall tumors could mimic TS. Bone scintigraphy or CT is not specific enough to determine malignant and other benign disorders of costochondral junction. Therefore, clinicians should follow TS patients more closely, and in case of increasing size of swelling, early diagnostic biopsy should be considered.

Diffusion-Weighted Mri of Postmenopausal Women with Vaginal Bleeding and Endometrial Thickening: Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Lesions.

PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in differentiating endometrial cancer from benign endometrial lesions in postmenopausal patients with vaginal bleeding and endometrial thickening and to predict the depth of myometrial invasion in endometrial cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Postmenopausal patients with vaginal bleeding and endometrial thickening were enrolled in this prospective study. T2-weighted, pre- and postcontrast T1-weighted and diffusion-weighted images were obtained. The ADC values of all the patients with endometrial pathologies were recorded. The staging accuracies of DWI and postcontrast T1-weighted images in the assessment of myometrial invasion were evaluated in histopathologically proven endometrial cancer patients. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients (mean age: 57 ± 10, range: 41-79) were enrolled in the study. Thirty-eight of the lesions were benign (27 as hyperplasia and endometritis; 11 as polyps). Fourteen of the 52 endometrial lesions were pathologically proven as cancers and underwent hysterectomy, and all the specimens were reported as endometrioid adenocarcinomas. The mean ADC value (10-3 mm2/second) of cancer (0.88 ± 0.10) was significantly lower than that of benign lesions (1.78 ± 0.27, p = 0,001). There was no significant difference between ADC values of endometrial tissue in patients with FIGO stage 1A (0.87 ± 0.11, n = 9) and FIGO stage 1B (0.91 ± 0.07, n = 5). The staging accuracy was 92.9 per cent (13/14) for DWI and 85.7 per cent (12/14) for postcontrast T1-weighted images. CONCLUSION: ADC values allow benign endometrial lesions to be differentiated from endometrial cancer in postmenopausal patients but do not correlate with the depth of myometrial invasion and histological tumor grading.

Ultrasound Findings in a Case of Myeloid Sarcoma of the Breast.

Myeloid sarcoma is a rare, solid extramedullary tumor originating from immature granulocytic cells or monocytes. Breast involvement without an aleukemic or myeloproliferative disorder is very infrequent. A 21-year-old female patient was admitted with bilateral palpable breast masses for four months. The patient had given birth approximately one year ago. The ultrasonographic examination revealed multiple, oval shaped-some of them with microlubulated margins-hypoechoic, solid masses of which, the largest mass measured 4.5 × 2.5 cm, evaluated as BI-RADS 4. The histopthological examination suggested hematolymphoid neoplasm. In the differential diagnosis of solid breast lesions, myeloid sarcoma should be kept in mind even without hematological findings. Early diagnosis of this tumor is important for the effectiveness of the medical treatment.

Modified tension band wiring technique for olecranon fractures: where and how should the K-wires be inserted to avoid articular penetration?

OBJECTIVE: Articular penetration of K-wires is a possible complication of the modified tension band wiring technique. However, there is no clear information or evidence regarding the entry point or introduction angle for K-wires to avoid this complication. The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effect of varying K-wire insertion points and angles on the risk for articular penetration during modified tension band wiring for olecranon fractures. METHODS: All anatomical measurements were made on 50 cadaveric ulnas, and all other measurements were performed on exact foam replications of the 50 cadaveric ulnas. Morphometric measurements, including olecranon height and heights of the central, radial and ulnar facets of the semilunar notch, were taken. In the sagittal plane, articular angle and tubercle angle were measured. Two 1.6-mm parallel K-wires were inserted from 0, 5 and 8 mm anterior to the dorsal cortex of the olecranon process at angles of 20° and 30°. K-wire articular penetration was evaluated both visually and radiographically. RESULTS: The mean central, radial and ulnar heights of the semilunar notch were 17.3 mm (14.7-20.0), 16.2 mm (12.0-21.0) and 15.8 mm (13.30-20.5), respectively. We observed no articular penetration at the 0-mm level at 20° and 30° (0 mm 20° and 0 mm 30°, respectively) or at 5 mm 20°. At 8 mm 30° wire introduction, more than 64% articular penetration was observed on either facet. The sequence from least to most likely to cause articular penetration was: 0 mm = 5 mm 20° > 5 mm 30° = 8 mm 20° > 8 mm 30°. The radial height of the semilunar notch was negatively correlated to the risk of articular penetration, when the wire was introduced at 8 mm 30°, 8 mm 20° and 5 mm 30° (all p<0.047). There were poor correlations between radiological and direct observational assessments, particularly for 8 mm 20° and 5 mm 30°. The frequency of intra-articular positioning for those observed to be radiologically extra-articular was 4/28 (14.3%) for 8 mm 30°, 4/7 (57.1%) for 8 mm 20° and 5/6 (83.3%) for 5 mm 30°. CONCLUSION: When applying the modified tension band wiring technique to prevent articular penetration, K-wires should be inserted in the first 5 mm from dorsal cortex of the olecranon process at a maximum angle of 20°. Moreover, if the wires are required to be inserted more anteriorly because of the anatomical configuration of the fracture, they should be inserted at a shallow angle in the sagittal plane in relation to the proximal cortex of the ulna.

Nonpalpable BI-RADS 4 breast lesions: sonographic findings and pathology correlation.

PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate ultrasonography (US) findings for Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) category 4 lesions using BI-RADS US lexicon and determine the positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) of US with respect to biopsy results. METHODS: Sonograms of 186 BI-RADS 4 nonpalpable breast lesions with a known diagnosis were reviewed retrospectively. The morphologic features of all lesions were described using BI-RADS lexicon and the lesions were subcategorized into 4A, 4B, and 4C on the basis of the physician's level of suspicion. Lesion descriptors and biopsy results were correlated. Pathologic results were compared with US features. PPVs of BI-RADS subcategories 4A, 4B, and 4C were calculated. RESULTS: Of 186 lesions, 38.7% were malignant and 61.2% were benign. PPVs according to subcategories 4A, 4B, and 4C were 19.5%, 41.5%, and 74.3%, respectively. Microlobulated, indistinct, and angular margins, posterior acoustic features, and echo pattern were nonspecific signs for nonpalpable BI-RADS 4 lesions. Typical signs of malignancy were irregular shape (PPV, 66%), spiculated margin (PPV, 80%) and nonparallel orientation (PPV, 58.9%). Typical signs of benign lesions were oval shape (NPV, 77.1%), circumscribed margin (NPV, 67.5%), parallel orientation (NPV, 70%), and abrupt interface (NPV, 67.6%). CONCLUSION: BI-RADS criteria are not sufficient for discriminating between malignant and benign lesions, and biopsy is required. Subcategories 4A, 4B, and 4C are useful in predicting the likelihood of malignancy. However, objective and clear subclassification rules are needed.

Femoral insufficiency fractures in the elderly - excessive medial femoral bowing complicates intramedullary nailing.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of low-energy femoral insufficiency fractures in elderly patients. METHODS: The study retrospectively evaluated the clinical course of 4 patients with low-energy femoral shaft and subtrochanteric fractures admitted to our department between 2009 and 2011. Three patients had prior long-term alendronate therapy and one had prior glucocorticoid therapy. RESULTS: There were 5 femoral shaft fractures, 2 incomplete shaft fractures, 2 subtrochanteric and 1 intertrochanteric fractures. All femoral shaft fractures had characteristic fracture patterns with thickened lateral cortices at the proximal fragment. Six femurs had excessive medial femoral bowing, which complicated intramedullary nailing. Additional fractures were seen on both femurs of one patient who had been primarily treated with short implants. A bifocal femoral fracture was seen in one femur. Union was achieved in all patients. Two patients were able to walk independently, one with a cane and one with double crutches. CONCLUSION: We suggest the addition of another radiographic pattern of 'excessive medial femoral bowing' in low-energy femoral shaft fractures in elderly patients. This bowing complicates intramedullary nailing. Moreover, these insufficiency fractures should be fixed with long cephalomedullary nails.

Redefining the proximal ulna anatomy.

PURPOSE: Complex fractures of the olecranon have always been a difficult condition for treatment. Successful reconstruction depends on restoration of the anatomic contributors to stability. The purpose of this study was to define the proximal ulna anatomy in detail with respect to fracture fixation and arthroscopy. METHODS: In 50 normal adult ulnae (26 left, 24 right); posterior olecranon height (POH), olecranon width (OW), trochlear notch width (TW), the distances between the olecranon and the trochlear notch on radial and ulnar sides (RTH, UTH), and proximal ulnar angulations were measured with a ruler and a digital goniometer. RESULTS: The average POH was 24.6 mm, OW was 23.1 mm, TW was 22.3 mm, RTH was 16.2 mm, and UTH was 15.8 mm. The mean value for proximal ulna torsion angle (PUTA) was found 11.1°. The mean varus angulation was 9.3°. The average articular angle was 27.7° and proximal ulnar dorsal angulation (PUDA) was 8°. CONCLUSIONS: The unique bony architecture of the proximal ulna presents particular difficulties for the implants used in fracture fixation and arthroplasty of the elbow. Knowing the detailed anatomy of the variations of proximal ulna will guide the surgeon to obtain a more reliable length of the olecranon and to offer a safe place for Kirschner wire replacement concerning humero-ulnar joint functionality. In this study, PUTA was also defined. The angle determines the rotation of the proximal ulna and it has a great importance for the movements of the joint. The measured angulations will help the surgeon to design the proper prosthesis for the maintenance of the functions of the elbow joint.

Minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair: a modification of the Achillon technique.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to present the results of a new minimally invasive operative method for Achilles tendon (AT) ruptures that could reduce nerve injuries and add no extra cost. METHODS: Thirteen patients with acute AT ruptures who were treated with minimally invasive surgery and followed for a minimum of 12 months were included. At the latest follow-up, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, calf diameters, ability to walk on tiptoe, and ultrasound examination were evaluated. The average age was 42.8 years (range, 31-62 years). Average follow up was 24.5 months (range, 12-34 months). RESULTS: AOFAS score was 92.5 (range, 85-100). Average calf diameters on the operated and nonoperated extremities were 38.9 cm (range, 36-44 cm) and 38.9 cm (range, 36-41 cm), respectively. On ultrasound examination, the site of the rupture was found to be 46.2 mm proximal from the calcaneal insertion, and the operated side was found to be significantly thicker than the nonoperated side (P = .008). There was 1 deep vein thrombosis, which recovered without sequelae. There were no wound problems, reruptures, or nerve injuries. CONCLUSIONS: This new minimally invasive operative method was successful, showing good functional results and low complication rates. In our experience, the use of 3 continuous polyester sutures was less irritable with 3 knots. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, retrospective case series.

The effects of early or late treatment of osteochondral defects on joint homoeostasis: an experimental study in rabbits.

A 3.5 x 4 mm tubular osteochondral defect was created on the right medial femoral condyles of 51 adult rabbits. In the control group (CG), defects were left untreated. In the early-(ETG) and late-(LTG) treatment groups, defects were treated by an osteoperiosteal graft 1 and 12 weeks, respectively, after the index procedure. Synovial fluid (SF) samples were collected regularly and proteoglycan fragments (PF), total collagen (TC) and collagenase (MMP-1) levels were measured. Rabbits were killed at 4 (early period), 12 (intermediate period), or 24 (late period) weeks postoperatively. Histological examination indicated a more successful healing in both grafting groups than in the CG, but without any difference at any time period between the grafting groups. In the CG, PF, and TC levels in SF increased continuously until the late period, indicating an ongoing degenerative activity in the joints. In contrast, SF marker levels in both grafting groups indicated that normalization in joint metabolism could be achieved-at least partially-after treatment. However, PF levels in the SF showed that the treatment of defects in earlier stages might result in better outcomes since the negative effects were more prominent in chronic stages, presumably due to the more prolonged period of disturbed homeostasis. Thus, histological values and SF marker levels indicated that treatment of osteochondral defects at any time of the disease had a positive effect on healing when compared to no treatment. Early treatment might better assist the recovery of joint homeostasis than late treatment.

Comparison of the effects of travoprost, latanoprost and bimatoprost on ocular circulation: a 6-month clinical trial.

PURPOSE: To study the effect of three prostaglandin F(2)-alpha (PG) analogues on retrobulbar blood flow velocity in previously untreated patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT), using colour Doppler ultrasound. METHODS: Sixty newly diagnosed patients with POAG or OHT were randomly assigned to travoprost 0.004% (n = 12 with POAG, n = 8 with OHT), latanoprost 0.005% (n = 11 with POAG, n = 9 with OHT) and bimatoprost 0.03% (n = 13 with POAG, n = 7 with OHT) treatment groups in a double-masked fashion. At baseline examination, blood pressure, heart rate and intraocular pressure (IOP) were recorded. Peak-systolic and end-diastolic velocities were measured in the ophthalmic (OA), central retinal (CRA) and temporal short posterior ciliary arteries (PCA). The resistive index (RI) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) were determined for each treatment group. After a treatment period of 6-months, all procedures were repeated. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in age (53 +/- 14 years in the travoprost group, 51 +/- 14 years in the latanoprost group, 53 +/- 11 years in the bimatoprost group), gender (11 men, nine women; 11 men, nine women; 13 men, seven women, by group, respectively), or clinical diagnosis (POAG or OHT) among treatment groups (p > 0.05). A significant decrease in IOP (baseline: 26.4 +/- 3.3 mmHg, 26.8 +/- 1.3 mmHg, 25.8 +/- 1.8 mmHg, respectively; month 6: 20.9 +/- 1.9 mmHg, 20.8 +/- 2.4 mmHg, 18.3 +/- 1.2 mmHg, respectively; p < 0.0001) and an increase in OPP (baseline: 33.7 +/- 3.8 mmHg, 33.5 +/- 3.2 mmHg, 33.9 +/- 2.6 mmHg, respectively; month 6: 40.2 +/- 3.5 mmHg, 39.9 +/- 3.1 mmHg, 41.7 +/- 2.6 mmHg, respectively; p < 0.0001) were verified in all three groups during the study period. Mean baseline RI values for the CRA in the travoprost group and the OA in the latanoprost group were both 0.7 +/- 0.1 mmHg and both values were statistically significantly lower at 6 months (0.6 +/- 0.1 mmHg in both groups; p = 0.002, p < 0.0001, respectively). In the bimatoprost group there was no statistically significant difference in haemodynamic parameters over the study period (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the three PG analogues significantly reduce IOP and increase OPP in patients with POAG or OHT. Topical travoprost and latanoprost significantly reduce the RI of the CRA and OA, respectively. We were unable to determine any effect of topical bimatoprost on ocular haemodynamics.

Orbital tumor presented systemic sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous, multisystemic disorder of unknown origin usually affecting young Black-American adults. Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and skin or eyelid lesions are the most common symptoms noted. Except for lacrimal gland enlargement, orbital involvement with sarcoidosis is rare and is usually unilateral when it occurs. The aim of this article is to report an isolated case of sarcoidosis that initially presented as an orbital tumor, and to document the CT and MR appearance of the lesions.
