• Surgical Management of a Recurrent Orbit-Eroding Mucocele Associated With Frontal-Ethmoidal Sinus Inverted Papilloma

  The development of orbit-eroding mucocele associated with inverted papilloma has been rarely reported.1,2 Here, the authors present a case and surgical management of a patient with orbit-eroding mucocele associated with inverted papilloma who declined craniotomy. A combined approach utilizing frontal endoscopic sinus surgery and external sub-brow anterior orbitotomy was used to explore, drain, and excise the mucocele and inverted papilloma. Gelat

• Analysis of Periorbital Soft Tissue in Thyroid Eye Disease

  Purpose: To investigate periorbital tissue enlargement in thyroid eye disease (TED) by 3-dimensional CT volumetric analysis. Methods: Twenty-four adult subjects, 16 with TED and 8 controls, were studied. Three-dimensional volumetric calculations were performed on CT imaging of the orbit and face, focusing on the retroorbicularis oculi fat, suborbicularis oculi fat, facial muscles in periorbital region, orbital fat, extraocular muscles, an

  We read with much interest this paper regarding speech improvement after palate re-repair.1 This technique has been developed and pioneered by Sommerlad and has been used for primary palate repairs and secondary speech improving surgeries in our centre since the mid-1990s.2–5 The technique has been widely adopted in the UK6–8 and internationally.9–17 Sommerlad's practice has been to recommend follow-up six months postoperatively, which Ahmed et a

• Response to letter-comment on “Clinical utility of the Communicating Vein in Free Radial Artery Forearm Flaps: Best of both worlds”

  We agree with Dr. Dediol that evidence with regards to decreased donor site edema and morbidity by sparing the distal cephalic vein is lacking and has been mentioned so by us in our letter addressed to the editor.1 However, there are some unequivocal advantages offered by not including the distal cephalic vein in the flap harvest. To reiterate once again – in order to include the cephalic vein in the flap, the flap has to be designed more radiall

  We write in response to the findings of Khan et al.,1 Oxford, regarding the timing of presentation of metastatic disease in cutaneous SCC. They suggested that it was “safe to reduce follow-up time of high-risk SCCs to 2 years” as 96% of their limited cohort presented within that time.
