  • Background: Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) is characterized by the clinical triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia, and is considered a variant form of Guillain-Barre syndrome. Although some cases of delayed-onset facial palsy in MFS have been reported, the characteristics of this facial palsy are poorly described in the literature. Methods: Between 2007 and 2010, six patients with MFS were seen at our hospital. Delayed facial palsy, defined as a facial palsy that developed while the other symptoms of MFS began to improve following intravenous immunoglobulin treatment, was confirmed in four patients. The clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of delayed facial palsy in MFS, as observed in these patients, are described here. Results: Four patients with delayed-onset facial palsy were included. Delayed facial palsy developed 8-16 days after initial symptom onset (5-9 days after treatment). Unilateral facial palsy occurred in three patients and asymmetric facial diplegia in one patient. The House-Brackmann score of facial palsy was grade III in one patient, IV in two patients, and V in one patient. None of the patients complained of posterior auricular pain. Facial nerve conduction studies revealed normal amplitude in all four patients. The blink reflex showed abnormal prolongation in two patients and the absence of action potential formation in two patients. Facial palsy resolved completely in all four patients within 3 months. Conclusions: Delayed facial palsy is a frequent symptom in MFS and resolves completely without additional treatment. Thus, standard treatment and patient reassurance are sufficient in most cases.

  • Orbital infection is typically caused by spread of inflammation from the paranasal sinuses. Less common causes can be skin infections, trauma, and hematogenous spread from other infections located elsewhere in the body. Odontogenic orbital infections account for 2~5% of all orbital infections, and occur as a result of periodontitis, odontogenic abscess from caries, tooth extraction, and oral surgery. Orbital infections can be divided into preseptal infection, orbital subperiosteal abscess, orbital abscess, and postorbital abscess. Symptoms which can be observed are swelling of the eyelids and erythema, orbital edema, displacement of the eyeball, exophthalmos, ophthalmoplegia, and even impairment of the optic nerve. Here we present the case of a patient who had an orbital abscess secondary to an abscess of the right maxillary third molar. Rapid recovery occurred following surgical treatment and antibiotic therapy. In addition a brief review of the literature is included.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this case is to report the improvement of two patients diagnosed with eight and a half syndrome after combination therapy of oriental and western medicine. Methods : We treated the patients with combination therapy of oriental and western medicine such as acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medication, antithrombotic agents and steroid therapy. Changes of peripheral facial paralysis were evaluated using House-Brackmann facial grading system and the degree of dizziness, tenderness and pain of upper abdomen were assessed using numerous rating scale. Changes in motor grade of upper and lower extremities were evaluated using medical research council scale. Results : We have recently experienced two cases of eight and a half syndrome - a syndrome characterized by the coexistence of one and a half syndrome, a rare ophthalmoparetic syndrome characterized by a conjugate horizontal gaze palsy in one direction and an internuclear ophthalmoplegia in the other, and cranial nerve VII palsy. The one and a half syndrome was caused by acute cerebral infarction. Two patients in this report were improved through combination therapy of oriental and western medicine. Conclusions : We report the clinical course and treatment methods of eight and a half syndrome.

  • Fungal sinusitis is relatively rare, but it has become more common in recent years. When fungal sinusitis invades the orbit, it can cause proptosis, chemosis, ophthalmoplegia, retroorbital pain, and vision impairment. We present a case of an extensive orbital floor defect due to invasive fungal sinusitis. A 62-year-old man with hypertension and a history of lung adenocarcinoma, presented with right-side facial pain and swelling. On admission, the serum glucose level was 347 mg/dL, and hemoglobin A1c was 11.4%. A computed tomography scan and a Waters' view X-ray showed right maxillary sinusitis with an orbital floor defect. On hospital day 3, functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed by the otorhinolaryngology team, and an aspergilloma in necrotic inflammatory exudate obtained during exploration. On hospital day 7, orbital floor reconstruction with a Medpor Titan surgical implant was done. In principle, the management of invasive sino-orbital fungal infection often begins with surgical debridement and local irrigation with an antifungal agent. Exceptionally, in this case, debridement and immediate orbital floor reconstruction were performed to prevent enophthalmos caused by the extensive orbital floor defect. The patient underwent orbital floor reconstruction and received intravenous and oral voriconazole. Despite orbital invasion, there were no ophthalmic symptoms or sequelae.

  • Cavernous sinus thrombosis is one of the major complications of abscesses of the maxillofacial region. The initial symptoms of CST are usually pain in the eye and tenderness to pressure. this is associated with high fluctuating fever, chills, rapid pulse, and sweating. Venous obstruction subsequently causes edema of the eyelids, lacrimation, proptosis, chemosis and retinal hemorrhages. Blindness is sometimes an accompaniment of cavernous sinus thrombosis when the infection also involves the orbit. There is also cranial nerve involvement (oculomotor, troclear, abducence) and ophthalmoplegia, diminished or absent corneal reflex, ptosis, and dilation of the pupil occur. The terminal stages bring signs of advanced toxemia and meningitis. Infections of the face can cause a septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinus. Furunculosis and infected hair follicles in the nose are frequent causes. Extractions of maxillary anterior teeth in the presence of acute infection and especially curettage of the sockets under such circumstances can cause this condition. The infection is usually staphylococcal. The inflection may spread directly through the pterygoid plexus of veins and the pterygomaxillary space and then ascend into the sinus or it may spread directly from the pterygopalatine space to the orbit. This is possible because of the absence of valves in the angular, facial, and ophthalmic veins. The treatment is empirical antibiotic therapy followed by specific anbibiotic therapy based on blood or pus culture. The inflection usually involves one side, however, it may easily spread to the opposite side through the circulus sinus. Unless it is treated early, the prognosis is poor even in this doses. Occasionally the antibiotics will not adequately resolve the septic thrombus, and death ensues. the use of anticoagulants to prevent venous thrombosis has been recommended, but the efficacy of such therapy has not been substantiated. Surgical access through eye enucleation has been suggested. We report a case which demonstrates cavernous sinus thrombosis by the infection after the functional neck dissection and the intraoral reconstruction with auriculomastoid fascio-cutaneous island flap.
