Depressor supercilii muscle: anatomy, histology, and cosmetic implications.
To describe the gross and microscopic anatomy of the depressor supercilii muscle and to discuss its cosmetic implications. ⋯ The origin, insertion, and anatomy of the depressor supercilii muscle help it to act as a depressor of the eyebrow. Histologically, the depressor supercilii muscle arises distinctly from bone and has a unique insertion. The depressor supercilii muscle appears to be distinct from the corrugator supercilii and the orbicularis oculi muscles.

Comparative StudyInvolutional entropion repair with fornix sutures and lateral tarsal strip procedure.
To evaluate the long-terrm effectiveness of fornix suture placement combined with a lateral tarsal strip procedure in correcting involutional entropion. Published reports regarding various surgical techniques and results are reviewed. ⋯ Suture advancement of the lower eyelid retractors in conjunction with a lateral tarsal strip procedure is a simple, quick, physiologic, and effective approach in achieving long-lasting correction for involutional entropion.

Case ReportsSquamous cell carcinoma with perineural invasion presenting as a Tolosa-Hunt-like syndrome: a potential pitfall in diagnosis.
To describe a case of perineural invasion resulting from squamous cell carcinoma of forehead. ⋯ A high level of suspicion for perineural invasion is required when assessing multiple cranial nerve palsies in patients with a history of cutaneous malignancy, despite negative sequential MRI. Perineural invasion must be ruled out by a biopsy of the involved nerves, whenever possible, before empiric therapy with systemic steroids is contemplated.

Case ReportsVisual loss in idiopathic intracranial hypertension after resolution of papilledema.
To demonstrate that progressive visual field loss may occur after resolution of papilledema in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension and persistently elevated intracranial pressure. ⋯ Increased intracranial pressure caused visual field loss after resolution of papilledema. Optic nerve sheath fenestration improved visual function in this patient.

Case ReportsThe importance of CT scans in planning the removal of orbital-frontal lobe foreign bodies.
To describe the management of foreign bodies in the orbit and frontal lobe. ⋯ Computed tomography was useful to confirm preoperatively that the foreign body was not adjacent to cerebral blood vessels and to monitor postoperatively for cerebral hemorrhage. A team approach is necessary in the management of orbital-frontal lobe foreign bodies.
