Presentation of acute retrobulbar subperiostal hemorrhage (hematoma) in the course of delivery. The occurrence, possible threats and recommended methods of treatment are described. Introduction: Acute retrobulbar hemorrhage is always a serious condition. Even if not connected with other ocular trauma, it could cause permanent blindness. The reason is based on constriction of the eye, decreasing of the blood supply and thus disruption of the oxygen supply to sensitive retinal tissues. After a short time, these tissues start to deteriorate and lose their natural function. This event is often connected with exophthalmia and diplopia. The primary diagnostic procedure is to measure intraocular pressure (IOP). Even if the ideal diagnostic tools are not accessible, performing a lateral canthotomy (event. with inferior cantholysis) is recommended to relieve IOP in acute situations. Normal intraocular pressure is considered to be 8-21 mmHg. Case report: Our 29-year-old female patient was in the second stage of delivery and suddenly got retrobulbar hemorrhage, resulting in exophthalmia and diplopia. Her baby was delivered shortly after the event. The following delivery course was normal, including her perineum repair and puerperium. Our patient was fortunate because her visual acuity and IOP were normal. Therefore, we chose an observational treatment strategy. After 5 weeks, we noted successful disintegration of the hematoma and decreased exophthalmia and diplopia without other consequences. Conclusion: We described retrobulbar subperiostal bleeding in our patient in the course of delivery. We depicted possible threats that could result in blindness and described recommended methods of treatment. Even if such a situation is extremely rarely, we believe that knowledge of these guidelines could help medical professionals broaden their treatment options. This particularly occurs when a trained eye surgeon is not available.

INTRODUCTION: Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement in patients with thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) can be difficult and misleading, particularly in patients with diplopia and eye deviation (esotropia or hypotropia). However, when measuring IOP, it is also necessary to pay sufficient attention to TAO patients without diplopia in primary gaze direction and without motility disorder that might not be readily apparent. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) using three different types of tonometers: the rebound tonometer (iCARE), the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and the non-contact airpuff tonometer (NCT) in patients with inactive TAO. Materials and Methods: A total of 98 eyes of 49 adult patients with TAO were examined. The study group included 36 females and 13 males, with an age range of 19-70 years and a median age of 55.0. All the patients had evidence of thyroid disease, a history of mild to moderate TAO, no clinical signs or symptoms of active disease, and no diplopia in direct gaze direction. In addition to a comprehensive eye examination, all the patients underwent measurement of intraocular pressure with three tonometers: NCT, iCARE, and GAT. The measurements with these three devices were compared. RESULTS: The mean IOP was 18.1 ± 2.4 mmHg (range 13-25 mmHg) with GAT, 22.3 ±5.0 mmHg (range 13-35 mmHg) with NCT, and 18.0 ±2.4 mmHg (range 13.3-26 mmHg) with iCARE. The mean difference between the GAT and iCARE measurements (using the Bland-Altman analysis) was -0.1 ±1.16 mmHg (limits of agreement -2.4 to 2.1). The mean difference between the GAT and NCT measurements was 4.2 ±3.6 mmHg (limits of agreement -2.8 to 11.2). The mean difference between the iCARE and NCT measurements was -4.3 ±3.7 mmHg (limits of agreement -11.6 to 2.9). No significant difference was found between GAT and iCARE (p = 1.000). However, there was a significant difference between GAT and NCT (p < 0.0001), as well as between iCARE and NCT (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: In patients with TAO, NCT significantly overestimates IOP values compared to the GAT and ICare. By contrast, the iCARE rebound tonometer provides IOP measurements comparable to the gold standard GAT in these patients.

Background and Objectives: In patients with orbital floor blowout fracture (OFBF), accurate diagnosis of ocular motility disorder is important for decisions about conservative or surgical therapy. However, the accuracy of the traditional test for detecting binocular diplopia/ocular motility disorder using a moving pencil or finger (hereinafter, "finger test") has been generally accepted as correct and has not been subject to scrutiny so far. Hence, its accuracy relative to full orthoptic examination is unknown. Materials and Methods: In this paper, the results of the "finger test" were compared with those derived from a complex examination by orthoptic tests (considered "true" value in patients with OFBF). Results: "Finger test" detected ocular motility disorder in 23% of patients while the full orthoptic examination proved much more efficient, detecting ocular motility disorder in 65% of patients. Lancaster screen test and test with color filters were the most important tests in the battery of the orthoptic tests, capable of identifying 97.7% and 95.3% of patients with ocular motility disorder, respectively. Still, none of the tests were able to correctly detect all patients with ocular motility disorder in itself. Conclusions: As the presence of ocular motility disorder/binocular diplopia is an important indication criterion for the surgical solution of the orbital floor blowout fracture, we conclude that a complex orthoptic evaluation should be always performed in these patients.

OBJECTIVE: Primary fourth ventricle outlet obstruction (PFVOO) is a rare cause of hydrocephalus with an unclear etiopathogenesis, and thus, consensus regarding the recommended treatment protocol is lacking. This study aims to summarize current knowledge of this condition in the light of our own treatment experience. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was carried out of all patients treated for noncommunicating tetraventricular hydrocephalus between 2006 and 2019, from which a subgroup of patients with PFVOO was created. A literature review of PFVOO cases was also carried out. RESULTS: A total of 62 patients with PFVOO were discovered, of whom 8 were treated at our institution, representing 3.8% of our patients with noncommunicating hydrocephalus. Patients most commonly presented with headaches, gait disturbance, or symptoms of intracranial hypertension. The mean follow-up duration was 75.4 months among our patients and 29.9 months in the literature. Most patients (54.8%) were treated by endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV), with the remainder undergoing suboccipital craniotomy alone (17.7%) or in combination with shunt surgery (9.7%), or endoscopic magendieplasty (12.9%). Treatment failure was noted in 28.6% of ETVs and 9% of craniotomies. No failures were recorded after endoscopic magendieplasty. The risk of treatment failure was found to be significantly higher with ETV compared with other treatment modalities (P < 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS: Despite the fact that PFVOO can be defined as an obstructive hydrocephalus, there seems to be a higher risk of ETV failure in such cases. The alternative treatment modalities presented are still recommended. Confirmation of these findings requires a larger multicenter study.

Orbital fractures may be accompanied with severe damage of the eye bulb and other intraorbital tissues. Early clinical findings can be very mild, therefore it is vital to actively seek not only for any damage done to the soft tissues of the orbit, but also for extraorbital complications such as liquorrhea or meningitis. We report a relatively rare case of blow-in fracture of orbital roof in eleven years old boy. Patient was admitted to the emergency care after falling off a bicycle without impaired consciousness. During admission ophthalmologist evaluated the condition as severe contusion of the left bulb, with hemophthalmia and retinal comotosis. Due to significant swelling of eye lids and periorbital hematoma, it was not possible to perform specific tests to objectify possible oculomotor disorder and diplopia. CT scan findings show dislocated fracture of orbital roof with fragments reaching into the musculus rectus superior. For high risk of bulbus penetration and muscle damage a surgical intervention with bone fragments removal was performed using endoscopic assisted frontal orbitotomy. After operation patient had no signs of functional eye disorder.

UNLABELLED: Aid: Familiarize themselves with the operating techniques in their own modulation to solve hypotropic states with elevation or hypotropic states with depression. METHODS: Surgery technique “cul-de-sac” is a procedure with fixed adjustable sutures (non-absorbable suture), which are guided in parallel on both peaks original insertion of inferior rectus muscle. The node itself of suture is done in cutting the muscle and through the original insertion only leads arc suture. During „counterclockwise transposition“ procedure sec. Knapp, the horizontal rectus muscles are fixed at the straight inferior rectus muscle level. The author included their graphical diagrams. MATERIAL: At the Department of Ophthalmology in the Faculty Hospital Královské Vinohrady in Prague (Czech Republic, EU) in the years 1996 - 2014 a release relaxing operation of the inferior rectus musle by the technique “cul-de-sac” on 49 eyes. Indication was double elevator palsy in 31 patients, congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles in 15 patients and in 3 cases, it was thyroid eye disease. “Counterclockwise transposition” procedure sec. Knapp was indicated twice for paresis of the inferior rectus muscle in 2015 and 2016. For the first time, it was a congenital form. It was detected histologically atrophy of stripped muscle with hypertrophy collagen. The second traumatic form was formed after an orbital injury. RESULTS: We provided adequate relaxation of the inferior rectus muscle and practical restoration of eye elevation by the technique “cul-de-sac“ in 18 preschool children with the double elevator palsy and three adult patients with thyreiod eye disease. We had to restore motility to complete the procedure by classical transposition procedure sec. Knapp of both horizontal rectus muscles to the direct superior rectus muscle in elderly children and adults with the double elevator palsy, as well as in all patients with the congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles. Indicate the inclusion of this transposition influenced the degree of fibrotic rectus inferior muscle given by age. “Counterclockwise transposition“ procedure sec. Knapp ensured the practical disappearance hypertropie in both cases of paresis of the inferior rectus muscle. The alignment of the position of the eyes without diplopia in the direct view was ensured by prismatic correction. CONCLUSIONS: To release the fibrotically altered inferior rectus muscle in the double elevator palsy, the congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles and the thyroid eye disease, the operation of adjustable sutures was necessary in accordance with our experience with the technigue “cul-de-sac“ in its own modification. The transposition procedure sec. Knapp, either classical or “”counterclockwise” “ in its own modification, was of paramount importance for the solution of the vertical deviation of a paretic ethiology.

UNLABELLED: Backgroung and Aim. This work builds on our publication on the subject of creating a mathematical model for calculating the volume of proplaped soft tissue of the orbit in blow-out fractures, which aids us greatly in our choice of the most effective treatment immediately post-accident. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective study (2014 - 2016) we treated 29 patients with blow-out fractures. 18 (62%) were treated conservatively and in 11 (38%) we proceeded surgically. We decided whether surgical or non-surgical therapy was appropriate on the basis of clinical ENT, eye examination and the total volume of prolapsed orbital soft tissue. All procedures were perfomed by the same operating team with a uniform subciliary approach and using PMR splints adapted to the correct size and shape. RESULTS: On the basis of the mathematical model we reassessed findings in 2 patients: in one we decided against a surgical solution and in the other a surgical approach was indicated. All 18 patients treated conservatively, fully recovered and are free of diplopia. The 11 operated patients are also free of diplopia, only 1 patient (3%) displays clinically insignificant postoperative diplopia in extreme posisitons when looking upwards. CONCLUSION: With proper selection of the optimal treatment, the rate of complete disappearance of diplopia and fully preserved motility of the eyeball ranges from 91 to 97%. Surgical treatment of orbital floor fractures is important, mainly to minimise persistent post-traumatic diplopia which significantly reduces a patient's quality of life.

AIM: Familiar with the treatment of various forms of Browns syndrome and its success. To document preparation of the expander own design. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In the years 1996-2016 was operated 33 pacients with congenital Browns syndrome by using an extension of its tendon expander at the Eye Clinic of the University Hospital Vinohrady in Prague. Author proves photographs preparing expander own design and modified surgical technique. It was also operated on 10 patients for accompanying Y-exotropia. Eleven patients with acute form of Brown´s syndrome in the pulley of upper oblique muscle applied Betamethasoni. RESULTS: The using expander own design - non-resorbable Ethibond 5-0 cauted silicone cannula - held at congenital form of Browns syndrome, without a weighty complication or its exclusion in the period. The result of the performance was determined age of patients at the time of implantation of the expander. Preschoolers postoperative condition was fully compliant, this expander standardized vertical mobility. The vertical alignment motility is reduced with advancing age, especially in adulthood. Optimal surgical procedures at Y-exotropia were antepozice with recession of the inferior oblique muscle possibly supplemented by retroposition ipsilateral external rectus. The application efficiency of Betamethasoni for acute form of Brown´s syndrome in the pulley of upper oblique muscle was successful in only two weeks after the initial symptoms vertical diplopia. CONCLUSION: Expander own design which represented non-resorbable Ethibond cauted silicone cannula was very effective in dealing with congenital form of Browns syndrome. The application of glucocorticoids in the pulley of upper oblique muscle should always be a quantity result.Key words: Browns syndrome, Betamethasoni, expander, Ethibond, silicone cannula, Y - exotropia.
