Show LITERATURE ABSTRACTS 217 Traumatic Intraconal Hematic Cyst of the Orbit. Goldberg SH, Sassani JW, Parnes RE. Arch OphthalmoI1992; 110: 378-- 80 ( Mar). [ Reprint requests to Dr. S. H. Goldberg, Department of Ophthalmology, Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, PO Box 850, Hershey, PA 17033.] A 35- year- old man presented with periocular pain 9 days after blunt orbital trauma. He had pro-ptosis and computerized tomographic scanning demonstrated a posterior orbit cystic mass which at surgery proved to be a hematic cyst with some fresh blood. The authors believe theirs is the first reported case of an intraconal hemantic cyst secondary to trauma. Lyn A. Sedwick, M. D. I Clill Neuro- ophthalmol, Vol. 12, No. 3, 1992 |
