  • Bone wax migrates to the orbit in a patient with a frontal sinus abnormality: a case report.
    BMC Ophthalmology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Yangbo Zhou, Xin Wei, Xue Yang, Jialin Zhang
    Abstract:

    Bone wax is the most widely used hemostatic bone sealant because of its availability, ease of use, immediate action, and minimal adverse effects. Several complications have been reported to be associated with the use of bone wax, such as infection, osteohypertrophy, pain, granuloma formation, allergic reaction, and thrombosis. Here, we present a rare complication, namely, bone wax migration, which developed after a craniotomy on a patient who had a frontal sinus abnormality. A 51-year-old woman complained of pain and swelling in her left eye accompanied by difficulty opening the left Eyelid after undergoing a craniotomy. An examination revealed left eye proPtosis with Ptosis, Eyelid swelling, and increases in intraorbital pressure and intraocular pressure (IOP). According to a CT and an MRI of the orbit, we found that the intraoperative bone wax had migrated to the orbit, thereby causing compression. We also found that the basal frontal sinus of the patient was congenitally defective, which may have induced the migration of the bone wax. Given that the patient recently underwent a craniotomy and given the risks associated with orbital surgery, she refused to undergo a surgery to remove the bone wax. Thus, the patient was administered mannitol intravenously daily, accompanied by topical Timolol, to reduce the intraorbital pressure and IOP. This treatment led to a gradual decrease in IOP and intraorbital pressure, and these parameters remained stable after treatment ended. During the 6-month follow-up, the best corrected visual acuity improved, and Ptosis and restricted eye movements also improved significantly. We report a case of bone wax migration that developed after a craniotomy on a patient who had a congenital defect in the basal frontal sinus. Extra caution should be taken when using bone wax, and a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s intracranial anatomy is important for decreasing the incidence of bone wax migration. Additionally, when a patient presents with symptoms of ocular compression, bone wax migration should be considered in addition to typical radiological changes.

  • a case of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania responding to subcutaneous sumatriptan
    Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 1998
    Co-Authors: J Pascual, Jade Quijano
    Abstract:

    Chronic paroxysmal hemicrania was first described by Sjaastad and Dale in 1974.1 It is characterised by attacks of excruciating unilateral oculotemporal pain associated with autonomic changes, such as lacrimation, rhinorrhea, Ptosis, miosis, and conjunctival suffusion. It differs from cluster headache for its female predominance, brevity (5–45 minutes), and frequency (5–20/day) of pain attacks, as well as for its response to indomethacin in doses of up to 150 mg/day.2 Experience with subcutaneous sumatriptan in chronic paroxysmal hemicrania is scarce. Here we report on the effect of subcutaneous sumatriptan in a patient with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania. In May 1994, when 34 years old, this previously healthy woman started to have attacks of severe temporal and periorbital pain usually associated with conjunctival injection, lacrimation, Ptosis, Eyelid oedema, and nasal congestion. Frequency and duration of attacks were variable. She experienced at least five pain attacks a day …
