The cribra orbitalia or porotic hyperostosis of the orbital roof is considered a microperforative bone manifestation of hematological pathological conditions, especially iron deficiency anemia. This finding is almost exclusively part of studies in archaeological populations. The purpose of this study was to describe the expression of cribra orbitalia in an archaeological population of central Chile. Bone remains of 32 individuals were analyzed, which were obtained from the population of the Tutuquén Cemetery Archaeological Monument, which are deposited in the Regional Museum of Rancagua. In each of the included samples, dating periods, sex, age range, presence v / s absence of cribra orbitalia were evaluated and in the cases in which it was present, its intensity was determined by direct vision with a magnifying lens. The 59.38 % of the individuals presented cribra orbitalia. Of these, 26.32 % were female, 31.58 % male, and 42.10 % undetermined. Of the individuals in the period 10,000 BP, 33.33 % presented cribra orbitalia; of the individuals of the period 7,000 AP, 50 % and of the individuals belonging to the period 1,000 AP, 68.4 %. When classifying the severity of the cribra orbitalia, it was observed that 31.57 % of the individuals had type I; 36.84 % type II; 10.52 % type III; 10.52 % type IV and 10.52 % type V. The data provided will complement the morpho-pathological knowledge of the human eye orbit from the study of archaeological populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetive: ensure trat there is no change in the work area and angle of attack when camparing the orbitozygomatic approach with respect to the variant proposed approach. Material and methods: we performed in 15 human skulls preserved with the technique of the Faculty of Medicine (UNAM) orbitozygomatic approach and the proposed variant (internal orbitcranial transzygomatic), measurements were made of angle of attack and work area, we performed the statistical analysis of the results. Results: the work area remains unchanged in both approaches(orbitozygomatic and variant), the angle of attack is greater in the orbitozygomatic approach with respect to the variant. Conclusions: the approach proposed variant (internal orbitocranial transzygomatic) does not change the work area but has a lower angle of attack with respect to the clasical orbitozygomatic approach.

Inferior palpebral fat bags are among the most common causes of Aesthetic Surgery consultation. We review their controversial etiology related to the orbital anatomy and the changes that take place in the orbital tissues in the process of aging. Based on these hypotheses the authors describe the treatment alternatives which they consider most congruent and physiologic and that have proven consistent results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anophthalmic patient exhibit a great physical, psyckic, and social effect, this disease must be treated in a multidisciplinary way, our effects must be targeted at accomplishing the best aesthetic and functional results so that patients can join society again as soon as possible. The lack or loss of the eye ball from whatever etiology becomes a very complex situation to the patient, the patient relative, and also to the ophthalmologist treating the patient. To achieve an acceptable prosthetic rehabilitation, it is necessary for us all to work very closely together. Our objective is to characterize the aesthetic and functional results achieved from inserting HAP-200 implants at the Ramon Pando Ferrer OCI, in surgical anophthalmo, year 2009. This is a descriptive, longitudinal, and prospective study. 17 Patients sing who went to Ramon Pando Ferrer OCI, 2009 to receive oculoplastic treatment in consulting room number one. Variables, age groups, sex, mediate postoperation complications, implant movements, upper eyelid's groove preservation, prosthetic movements and eyelid fissure symmetry were studied. Primary data were through interviews, preoperation inquiries, operation reports, and postoperation follow-up inquiries after 24 hours, 15 days, 1month, 3months, and 6 months. The most outstanding results were as follow: Prevalence of the 21 to 40 years old age group, male sex, minimal mediates postoperations complications, and a satisfactory aesthetic and functional clinical evolution in most cases. Most patients experienced a considered an important component in rehabilitating anophthalmic cavities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Facial trauma, specially associated to fractures of the orbit, is related to a great extent of damages that can be irreversible to the ocular soft structures. Therefore it is imperative to suspect and to diagnose theese conditions that put in risk the ocular globe and its adjacent structures at an early stage, in order to be able to perform rapid and effective treatment to prevent greater damage. We present a review on the subject and the algorithm of treating used at the Service of Plastic Surgery of the Hospital San Ignacio, Bogotá, Colombia, for early detection and treatment of potentially catastrophic injuries to the eye, associated to the facial trauma.
