Abstract

The authors describe the rare condition of an abscess within a hydroxyapatite orbital implant in two patients who had undergone seemingly uncomplicated enucleation and orbital implant surgery. In the first patient, 14 weeks postoperatively, a chronic discharge developed and the socket became uncomfortable. A pyogenic granuloma was present, occurring over an area of dehiscence. The hydroxyapatite orbital implant was removed 10 months postoperatively. In the second patient, moderate orbital discomfort was noted during the first week postoperatively along with a temporal shift of the implant. The discomfort persisted, and 1 week later a discharge began. The implant was removed 9 weeks after implantation. At the time of surgery, an unsuspected pyogenic granuloma was found in the medial conjunctival formix overlying a small area of implant dehiscence. Conjunctival and implant cultures grew Staphylococcus aureus in our first patient, whereas coagulase-negative staphylococci were cultured from the conjunctiva and implant in our second patient. Results of histopathologic examination of both implants disclosed an abscess cavity containing clusters of gram-positive cocci. Persistent orbital discomfort, discharge, and the development of a...Continue Reading

Cell Atlas of the Human Eye

Constructing a cell atlas of the human eye will require transcriptomic and histologic analysis over the lifespan. This understanding will aid in the study of development and disease. Find the latest research pertaining to the Cell Atlas of the Human Eye here.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
