Giant aneurysm of the intracranial carotid artery is a relatively rare disorder which can lead to life-threatening consequences. Ophthalmologic symptoms, mainly oculomotor nerve palsies, usually reveal lesions of the cavernous sinuses. We report the case of a 39-year old female patient presenting
Subperiostal orbital hemorrhage is a rare condition. It usually occurs as a result of trauma or because of a vascular disorder. We present a case of subperiostal orbital hemorrhage induced by effort for vomiting.
METHODS
A 41-year-old pregnant patient (30 weeks of amenorrhea), with no prior history,
Introduction Orbital meningoencephalocele formation is primarily a result of congenital defects in the pediatric population and trauma of the anterior cranial fossa in adults. We present a unique case of nontraumatic nasal and orbital meningoencephaloceles presenting as bilateral proptosis with
We examined two patients with acute orbital myositis associated with orbital hemorrhage and eyelid ecchymosis. Both patients were young women (aged 22 and 30 years) who had painful proptosis, diplopia, and computed tomographic evidence of single extraocular muscle involvement with spillover of
The nonspecific orbital inflammatory presents several clinical forms. When it evolves the posterior segment of the eye, usually by contiguity, it can lead to serious damage to vision functions. Posterior scleritis causes permanent damage to the vision and rarely progresses to acute
A 2 and a half year-old boy with neurofibromatosis developed unilateral proptosis, decreased visual acuity, and optic disk edema. After the discovery and removal of an optic nerve glioma, the patient had ten years of excellent health until he began having headaches, nausea, and vomiting. He had
The authors report an unusual case of arteriovenous communication between extracranial and intracranial vessels, accompanied by incidentally detected bilateral arachnoid cysts of the middle cranial fossa. A 52-year-old male was admitted with a sudden onset of headache, vomiting, and conjunctival
Three unusual cases of sphenoethmoidal mucoceles with rare intracranial extension are reported. A 64-year-old female presented with a 7-month history of right visual disturbance. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated a huge mass in the right middle fossa. She
A 50-year-old woman was transported to a hospital complaining of marked general malaise and epigastralgia with diarrhea and vomiting. Her electrocardiogram showed sinus arrest with a duration of nearly 8 sec. Atrial pacing with an external pacemaker improved her symptoms promptly. Following transfer
This article describes a 22-year-old man who presented to the Howard University Hospital emergency room with acute onset of swelling, proptosis, and decreased vision in the right eye preceded by 24 hours of nausea and vomiting. The patient's visual acuity was count fingers in the involved eye with
Background - Approximately 2% of patients admitted to the emergency department present with headache, which is often associated with vomiting, ocular pain, and earache. In rare cases, the presence of an abnormal communication between a cavernous sinus and the carotid arterial system that creates a
Here we report a 79-year-old woman who presented with a 7-day history of headache, nausea, vomiting, and was found to have proptosis and ptosis. Laboratory findings showed hyponatremia, hypocortisolism, secondary hypothyroidism and low follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH)
We treated a patient with a high flow traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) by transarterial balloon occlusion. A 26-year-old male sustained an injury of the head. After 2 months he was admitted to our hospital due to exophthalmos, congestion of the palpebral conjunctiva. Right common carotid
Three cases of spontaneous orbital hemorrhages in 3 adult females are reported. All of the patients had acute radiating pain in the orbit, vomiting and proptosis with a limitation of motility and ecchymosis of the eyelids. One was due to a large orbital varix with a preceding history of intermittent
A 58-year-old woman had the sudden onset of unilateral painful proptosis, ophthalmoplegia, vomiting, and loss of vision. Computed axial tomography showed a mass that was greatly attenuated in the orbit. The initial reading of the internal carotid angiogram was normal, but a subtraction study showed
