  • Orbital Apex Syndrome an unusual complication of herpes zoster ophthalmicus
    BMC Infectious Diseases, 2015
    Co-Authors: Hungchin Tsai, Yaoshen Chen
    Abstract:

    Herpes zoster ophthalmicus is defined as herpes zoster involvement of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. Ocular involvement occurs in 20–70% of patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus and may include blepharitis, keratoconjunctivitis, iritis, scleritis, and acute retinal necrosis. Orbital Apex Syndrome is a rare but severe ocular complication of herpes zoster ophthalmicus. We present here the first reported case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus complicated by Orbital Apex Syndrome in a patient from Taiwan.

  • Orbital Apex Syndrome associated with herpes zoster ophthalmicus

    Abstract:

    We report our findings for a patient with Orbital Apex Syndrome associated with herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Our patient was initially admitted to a neighborhood hospital because of nausea and loss of appetite of 10 days’ duration. The day after hospitalization, she developed skin vesicles along the first division of the trigeminal nerve, with severe lid swelling and conjunctival injection. On suspicion of meningoencephalitis caused by varicella zoster virus, antiviral therapy with vidarabine and betamethasone was started. Seventeen days later, complete ptosis and ophthalmoplegia developed in the right eye. The light reflex in the right eye was absent and anisocoria was present, with the right pupil larger than the left. Fat-suppressed enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images showed high intensity areas in the muscle cone, cavernous sinus, and Orbital optic nerve sheath. Our patient was diagnosed with Orbital Apex Syndrome, and because of skin vesicles in the first division of the trigeminal nerve, the Orbital Apex Syndrome was considered to be caused by herpes zoster ophthalmicus. After the patient was transferred to our hospital, prednisolone 60 mg and vidarabine antiviral therapy was started, and fever and headaches disappeared five days later. The ophthalmoplegia and optic neuritis, but not the anisocoria, gradually resolved during tapering of oral therapy. From the clinical findings and course, the cause of the Orbital Apex Syndrome was most likely invasion of the Orbital Apex and cavernous sinus by the herpes virus through the trigeminal nerve ganglia.

  • Cukurova Medical Journal Mucormycosis with Orbital Apex Syndrome in a Renal Transplant Recipient
    2016
    Co-Authors: Bir Böbrek, Transplantasyon Alıcısında, Orbital Apeks, Sendromu Seyreden, Ebru Kurşun, Tuba Turunç, Yusuf Ziya Demiroğlu, Hakan Yabanoğlu, Şenay Demir, Kenan Çalışkan
    Abstract:

    Mucormycosis is a rarely encountered invasive fungal infection with high mortality.Solid organ transplantation is one of the risk factors for mucormycosis. Mucormycosis can be classified in six different groups according to the anatomical localization; rhinocerebral, pulmonary, cutaneous, gastrointestinal, disseminated, and other less common involvements. This paper presented a mucormycosis case with rhinoorbitocerebral involvementin a renal transplantation receiver, which manifested with Orbital Apex Syndrome. Key words: Mucormycosis, Orbital Apex Syndrome, solid organ transplantation. ÖZET Mukormikozis nadir görülen mortalitesi yüksek invaziv bir mantar enfeksiyonudur. Solid organ transplantasyonu mukormikoz için risk faktörlerinden birisidir. Mukormikoz anatomik yerleşim yerleri temel alındığında; rinoserebral, pulmoner, kutanöz, gastrointestinal, dissemine ve sık rastlanılmayan diğer tutulumlar olmak üzere altı farklı grup olarak sınıflandırılabilmektedir. Bu yazıda böbrek transplantasyonu alıcısında Orbital apeks sendromu ile prezente olan rino-orbito-serebral tutulumu olan mukormikoz olgusu sunulmuştur. Anahtar kelimeler: Mukormikoz, Orbital apeks sendromu, solid organ transplantasyonu
