Tumor of orbit / Tumor orbitário

The cavernous hemangiomas are the most common intra orbital tumors found in adults of the middle age. Although histological benign, they can encroach on intra orbital or the adjacent structures (optic nerve) and be considered anatomically or positional malignant. We present a case report of orbital cavernous hemangioma of right orbit in young women after pregnancy, from Topola near Kragujevac (Central Serbia) with visual compromise and it's by trans-nasal endoscopic surgical management. Our patient was controlled and treated with the symptomatic therapy, topical therapy with artificial tears and surgical treatment. Our patient has optimal visual acuity of affected right eye after surgical treatment of orbital tumor. Surgical treatment of symptomatic orbital cavernous hemangioma is safe and effective, so that the cosmetic results are the important parameter to evaluate the clinical outcome.

Os hemangiomas cavernosos são os tumores intraorbitais mais comuns encontrados em adultos de meia-idade. Embora histológico benigno, eles podem invadir a área orbital ou intraorbital ou ainda as estruturas adjacentes (nervo óptico) e ser considerado anatomicamente ou posicional maligno. Apresentamos um relato de caso de hemangioma cavernoso orbital da órbita direita em mulheres jovens após a gravidez, a partir de Topola perto Kragujevac (Central Sérvia), com comprometimento visual e medicado por tratamento cirúrgico endoscópico transnasal. O paciente foi controlado e tratado com terapia, terapia tópica sintomático de lágrimas artificiais e tratamento cirúrgico. Nosso paciente tem acuidade visual ideal do olho direito afetada após o tratamento cirúrgico de tumor orbital. O tratamento cirúrgico do sintomático hemangioma cavernoso orbital é segura e eficaz, de modo que os resultados cosméticos são o parâmetro importante para avaliar o resultado clínico.

Congenital blindness and visual impairment cause infection or non infection.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST: none declared. INTRODUCTION: Authors are from reference documentation to archive at Organization of Federation of blind and visually impaired in central Serbia (Kragujevac), by retrograde analysis, of 2007-2012, comprehend two groups by etiology-clinical characteristics of congenital blindness and visually impaired, caused infection or non infection example. AIM: to analyze relationship between infectious and non infectious of congenital blindness and visually impaired in our referent region and compare with world references.

From non infectious causes are included: retinitis pigmentosa, retinopathy prematurity, primary congenital glaucoma, Leber's congenital amaurosis and rare syndrome. RESULTS: From total number of registered blind and visually impaired - 1308 (100%), over the last 6 years, the registration was 349 (26.68%) with congenital blindness and visually impaired. From recorder with the number of the most common congenital blindness and visually impaired-194 (55.59%) with infections cause, and 155 (44.41%) non infection cause. CONCLUSION: Congenital blindness has shown permanent increase in past 6 years, in group with infectious and with non infectious causes. Congenital blindness and visually impaired of the most common etiology among registered members of our association in Kragujevac is subject of our correlation and global trends mentioned observation of these diseases.

Prostatic carcinoma bilateral iris metastases.

We described a patient with bilateral iris metastases resulted from prostatic cancer. Slit lamp and ultrasonography examination of the both eye demonstrated tumor of the iris, as an amelanotic vascular mass located on the superior temporal quadrant. On open biopsy revealed undifferentiated tissue that stained strongly positive for prostate carcinoma, confirming the diagnosis of metastasis prostate adenocarcinoma. Early diagnostic procedures are essential for the causal therapy of prostate carcinoma as the primary neoplasm.
