non painful acute onset unilateral Eyelid Edema due to wasp sting
Ophthalmology, 2017Co-Authors: Paul VarnerAbstract:A 47 year-old male presented with unilateral, non-painful, near-total, non-erythematous left Eyelid swelling with anesthesia that developed overnight, approximately 24 hours after a wasp sting within the left eyebrow. The left eye itself remained unaffected. The acute findings completely resolved within four days of the event, mainly with supportive therapy. Hymenoptera venom can have marked neuromuscular effects on the superior Eyelid, and clinicians are particularly alerted to the possibility of insect stings involving the supraorbital nerve within the differential diagnosis of non-painful, unilateral Eyelid Edema.

effects of single dose steroid usage on Edema ecchymosis and intraoperative bleeding in rhinoplasty
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1999Co-Authors: Cüneyt Orhan Kara, Inci GokalanAbstract:To examine the effects of single-dose dexamethasone use on Edema, ecchymosis, and intraoperative bleeding in rhinoplasty, a double-blind, randomized trial with placebo control was planned. A total of 55 consecutive patients were included in the study. The dexamethasone (10 mg) was given intravenously just before surgery (preoperative group, n=18) or at the end of surgery (postoperative group, n=20). In the placebo group, 17 patients received saline preoperatively or postoperatively. Intraoperative blood loss was recorded for each patient. Postoperative scoring of Eyelid swelling and ecchymosis was begun after approximately 24 hours and lasted into postoperative day 9. Only for the first 2 days was the difference between steroid groups (preoperative and postoperative) and the placebo group statistically significant for a decrease in Eyelid Edema (p < 0.05). A statistically significant difference in upper Eyelid ecchymosis for both preoperative and postoperative steroid groups versus the placebo group also existed in the first 2 days (p < 0.05). Preoperative or postoperative steroid administration had no influence on the ecchymosis of the lower Eyelid. When the results of the preoperative and postoperative steroid groups were compared, no significant difference was detected between the two groups in either Edema or ecchymosis. To determine whether steroid use shortened the recovery period, the days on which Edema and ecchymosis reached a minimum level were compared among the groups; no statistically significant difference was found among them. Using single-dose dexamethasone preoperatively did not alter intraoperative blood loss. Use of single-dose dexamethasone (either preoperatively or postoperatively) in rhinoplasty has a significant effect in decreasing upper and lower Eyelid Edema and upper Eyelid ecchymosis for the first 2 days when compared with a placebo group. However, the effect of dexamethasone was lost after the first 2 days, and its use did not shorten the recovery period.

severe blepharoconjunctivitis induced by a peeling mask containing trichloroacetic acid
Ocular Immunology and Inflammation, 2005Co-Authors: Igor Kaiserman, Nadia KaisermanAbstract:Purpose: To report a case of severe blepharoconjunctivitis induced by a peeling mask. Methods: A 32-year-old healthy female was examined one day after undergoing a face-peeling procedure with a mask containing trichloroacetic acid. She complained of severe burning, redness, and epiphora in her left eye that started several hours after the procedure. Results: Her vision was LE 0.2, RE 0.8. Mild upper Eyelid Edema of the right eye and severe Edema of the left Eyelids, LE inferior ectropion, and LE blepharoconjunctivitis were noted. The conjunctiva was severely hyperemic with papillary reaction and chemosis. The corneas, anterior chambers, irides, lenses, and posterior segments were normal. The patient was treated with Dexamethasone 0.1% q2h and ocular lubrication. The reaction subsided after 3–4 days. Conclusion: Face-peeling masks containing trichloroacetic acid can sometimes severely irritate the Eyelids and the ocular surface.

Oxygen therapy influences episodic cluster headache and related cutaneous brush and cold allodynia.
Headache, 2008Co-Authors: Gerald Huber, Christian LamplAbstract:Cluster headache (CH) is characterized by a series of sudden attacks of short-lasting severe headache pain with ipsilateral autonomic features, including lacrimation, rhinorrhea, localized sweating, Eyelid Edema, and partial or complete Horner's syndrome. Just like in migraine, brush allodynia has been described for CH and for short lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome. Administration of normobaric oxygen is part of the standard therapy for CH attacks. Here, we describe a young male with a first CH attack and the influence of oxygen on pain and concomitant cutaneous allodynia.

short lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing syndrome secondary to an epidermoid tumor in the cerebellopontine angle
Neurosurgical Focus, 2013Co-Authors: Shaun D Rodgers, Bryan J Marascalchi, Russell G Strom, Paul P HuangAbstract:Short-laSting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing syndrome is a rare headache disorder classified under TAC. It is characterized by short-lasting unilateral attacks of severe neuralgiform pain associated with prominent lacrimation and redness of the ipsilateral eye. Other autonomic symptoms include nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, and Eyelid Edema.1 Although SUNCT syndrome is a primary headache disorder, it can be associated with secondary pathologies.1,7,14 We report on a patient with paroxysmal left retroorbital pain with associated autonomic symptoms of ipsilateral conjunctival injection and lacrimation, suggestive of SUNCT, secondary to an epidermoid tumor in the left CPA. The symptoms completely resolved after a retrosigmoid craniotomy and resection of the tumor. Case Report
