Benign triton tumor (BTT) or neuromuscular hamartoma is an uncommon tumor composed of mature neural and well-differentiated striated muscular elements. Its development is exceptionally rare in the adult and head region. This report describes a case of adulthood BTT that occurred in the orbit. The patient was a 53-year-old woman who presented with right periorbital swelling and pain in eyeball over 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-enhancing mass surrounding optic nerve and ocular muscles in the right retrobulbar area. The tumor was subtotally removed via transcranial approach. Its pathological diagnosis was confirmed to be a neuromuscular hamartoma. She developed diplopia postoperatively. Adulthood BTT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of head and neck tumors. It is also important to make adequate therapeutic strategy to avoid postoperative neural dysfunction.

조절이상과 양안시 이상을 진단하기 위해 검사를 실시하였다. 양안시 이상 발생 빈도는 다른 연구결과와 비슷하였는데, 환자들은 비정시의 교정 뿐 아니라 진단된 문제를 교정하기 위해 몇 가지 처방이 필요하였다. 그 중 복시와 안정피로, 간헐적 흐림 동의 증상을 가진 폭주부족으로 판단된 두 명의 환자에 대해 완전교정 처방과 함께 4주 동안의 시기능 훈련을 실시하였다. 이들은 폭주부족, 조절부족 등 하나, 또는 혼합형 양안시 문제를 가지고 있었다. 4주 후 결과에서 실시한 시기능 훈련은 폭주력을 향상시키는데 효과를 보였으며, 계속적인 관찰이 필요하다고 판단되었다.

Direct carotid-cavernous fistula [CCF] is a common post-traumatic disease. However, pseudoaneurysm formation after balloon occlusion is a rare complication. The author present such a case with review of the literature. A 26-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle accident as a driver. Only mild conjunctival injection and minimal exophthalmos on the right eye were noted after trauma. However, angiography revealed a direct CCF and dissection of the proximal intracranial internal carotid artery [ICA]. After first balloon occlusion of the CCF, the patient redeveloped fistula due to early deflation of the balloon. After the second balloon occlusion, pseudoaneurysm and diplopia were developed with the change of balloon position and shape. However, visual symptom spontaneously resolved and pseudoaneurysm was also decreased within 6 months after balloon occlusion.

Orbital injuries are common with facial trauma. Direct injuries to the globe are not rare but it can result in complications such as chemosis, subconjunctival hemorrhage and hyphema. Periorbital trauma or injuries to the extraocular muscles and blow-out fracture may result in lid edema, ecchymosis & ptosis and diplopia or limitation of ocular motion respectively. Indirect injuries to the optic nerve come up without any injuries but its complication is irreversible and severe such as loss of vision. The aim of this study is to review the literature on blindness or ptosis following facial trauma and present the cases of blindness after facial trauma and ptosis after mandibular fracture without specific clinical findings.

Cavernous angiomas of the medulla oblongata are rare vascular malformations. We report a case of cavernous angioma with medullary hemorrhage showing symptoms of diplopia and weakness of right extremities. We treated a patient with herb medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. This study suggests that oriental medicine therapy has a significant effect on the symptoms of medullary hemorrhage.

We present a case of olfactory schwannoma in a 16-year-old boy with headache and diplopia. Brain computed tomography[CT] scan and magnetic resonance[MR] imaging showed a huge mass in the subfrontal area resembling an olfactory groove meningioma. We performed a bifrontal craniotomy and found out the mass was attached to cribriform plate but was not related to the olfactory tract or bulb. The histopathological diagnosis of schwannoma was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining for S-100, vimentin and others. We describe the clinical manifestations, radiological characteristics, histological aspects, and differential diagnosis of this tumor with literature review.

Brown syndrome is known as limited elevation of the affected eye during adduction. It is caused by a disorder of the superior oblique tendon, which makes it difficult for the eyeball to look upward, especially during adduction. It is classified into congenital true sheath Brown syndrome and acquired simulated Brown syndrome. Acquired simulated Brown syndrome can be caused by trauma, infection, or inflammatory conditions. The surgical restoration of blowout fractures can also lead to limitations of ocular motility, including Brown syndrome. We report on three patients with acquired simulated Brown syndrome, who complained of diplopia and limitation of ocular motility after operations to treat blowout fractures.

Oculomotor nerve is the third cranial nerve, controlls four of the six extraocular muscles(superior rectus muscle, medial rectus muscle, inferior rectus muscle and inferior oblique muscle), levator palpebrae superioris muscle, cilliary muscle and muscle sphincter pupillae. In the oculomotor nerve palsy, limited oculogyration, diplopia, blepharoptosis, accomodation paralysis and mydriasis can be occured. We experienced an improved case of the oculomotor nerve palsy patient treated with oriental medicine for 25days. We used herbal medicine and acupuncture. Based on this experience, it is considered that oriental medicine can be applied to the treatment of the oculomotor nerve palsy.

Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is a rare disease characterized by lymphomatous invasion of the cranial or peripheral nerves by lymphoma. A high suspicion is important due to the various presenting symptoms mandating consideration of many differential diagnoses. We report a case of NL of the cranial nerves and plexus presenting as diplopia, facial palsy, and weakness of the upper and lower limbs in sequence.

The occurrence of medial orbital wall fracture is isolated or combined with other facial bone fracture. There are many complications, for example, diplopia, enophthalmos, limitation of eye movement, visual activity depression and blindness. Because of these complications, the accurate diagnosis and treatment of medial orbital wall fracture is very important. We have reconstructed medial orbital walls with transcaruncular approach and obtained good results in patients with medial orbital wall fracture.
