Case ReportsOrbital compartment syndrome secondary to retrobulbar hematoma after infratrochlear nerve block for nasolacrimal probing.
After infratrochlear nerve block for nasolacrimal probing, sudden vision loss, proptosis, pain, loss of light reflexes, and a total limitation of ocular movement was observed in a 71-year-old female patient. She was diagnosed with retrobulbar hemorrhage and orbital compartment syndrome (OCS). Lateral canthotomy, cantholysis, and medial orbitotomy were performed on the patient. ⋯ All the clinical findings returned to normal right after the intervention except mild ptosis (~1 mm), which persisted for 2 months. All patients scheduled for periocular anesthesia should be questioned about using oral anticoagulant medications, and the possibility of serious complications should be kept in mind even for patients without any risk factors. Patients with OCS secondary to retrobulbar hemorrhage should be surgically managed within the critical window (90 min) to prevent any irrevers-ible optic nerve injury.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of ocular injuries in pediatric patients.
Childhood eye injuries are one of the most common causes of acquired unilateral blindness. In this study, our purpose was to investigate the demographics, etiology, and outcome of pediatric patients with ocular injury. ⋯ Anterior segment damage is the main cause of visual morbidity in pediatric ocular trauma. Injuries with sharp objects occur twice as often as blunt trauma and reduce vision with residual corneal scarring in about two-thirds of patients. Under-standing the pattern of eye injuries is useful in determining the strategies required to protect children's eye health.

Retrospective examination of complications observed in orthognathic surgical surgery in 85 patients.
The aim of our study is to examine the possible complications, risk factors, and solutions encountered in orthog-nathic surgery in the light of the cases; we performed in our clinic. ⋯ Post-operative malocclusion, bleeding, inferior alveolar nerve injury, infection, poor division, and infection are the most common complications in orthognathic surgery. It can be associated with factors such as the duration of the operation, the number of operations, the site of the operation, and the type of osteotomy which performed. It is thought that positive contributions can be made to the success of the surgery by considering these factors in the treatment planning, during the operation and in the post-operative follow-up part.

Combat-related ocular trauma and visual outcomes during counter-terrorism urban warfare operations in Turkey.
The study was to report the clinical features and post-operative outcomes in military personnel admitted to the Ocular Trauma Center of Gülhane Training and Research Hospital after sustaining combat injuries in urban warfare. ⋯ Ocular injuries related to IEDs had the most significant impact on both visual and anatomic prognoses, and globe survival was less likely in eyes with zone III trauma, in which intraocular foreign bodies penetrated the choroid. There is a higher pos-sibility of PKP failure if this procedure is performed during the same session as other ocular surgery.

Evaluation of the appendectomy cases performed under emergency conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic and discussed with the pathology reports.
The aim of this study is to examine the cases underwent appendectomy during the COVID-19 pandemic and to discuss the pathology reports of patients. ⋯ COVID-19 pandemic not only changes all routines of social life but also complicates the treatment and manage-ment of cases with AA symptoms applied to hospital under emergency conditions. Follow-up of the appendectomy specimen is crucial in terms of excluding other pathologies.
