Andrew J. Miller
The maxillary sinus (antrum of Highmore) occupies the body of the maxilla in adults and is the largest of the paranasal sinuses. It is generally pyramidal in shape, the base being formed by the lateral wall of the nasal cavity and the apex directed laterally toward the zygomatic process. The roof, [...]]]></description>

Before the era of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Kaposi sarcoma occurred among elderly men, usually on the extremities. Currently most patients with Kaposi sarcoma are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus and have AIDS. Dark-brown nodules appear on the skin or mucosa. The histologic appearance is a capsule surrounding spindle cells [...]]]></description>

Byron J. Bailey
Melanoma of the sinonasal tract is second only to squamous cell carcinoma in frequency, according to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology otorhinolaryngology records. About 25% of cutaneous lesions occur in the head and neck region. The primary endonasal site of origin is the nasal septum, where tumors manifest as pigmented [...]]]></description>

Ocular inflammation and/or exposure of the patient to corticosteroids may cause characteristic glaucomatous optic disc and visual field damage by elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) and/or by ischemia or infiltration of the optic nerve head. To be effective, management requires not only precise diagnosis of the inflammation, and then treatment of both the inflammation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jean Edwards Holt
Systemic infection such as septicemia often establishes a metastatic focus in the eye, most commonly as choroiditis. Tuberculosis, syphilis, and histoplasmosis often are diagnosed in this manner. Orbital or elevated choroidal lesions often occur with metastatic carcinoma, especially metastasis from the lung and breast.

		<description><![CDATA[Jean Edwards Holt
The external layers of the eye have a high collagen content. Inflammatory diseases that affect this tissue, such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus, often cause external ocular inflammation. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca is the dry eye component of Sjögren syndrome. Most of these diseases also have a vasculitic component, and retinal vascular sheathing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jean Edwards Holt
The ocular manifestations of systemic disease always play an important role in general medicine. Neurologic and neurosurgical diagnoses often are made from eye examinations, and the disease course is monitored with an ophthalmoscope because the eye is truly the window to the brain. Finding a fixed, dilated pupil or Marcus Gunn pupil is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jean Edwards Holt
A severe blow to the eye or orbit can miraculously spare the ocular structures, or it can be devastating. The most common physical finding in cases of blunt trauma is hyphema (blood in the anterior chamber). If an eye has suffered a blow hard enough to cause ciliary body bleeding, which is believed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jean Edwards Holt
The ocular structures often are affected in developmental abnormalities and congenital anomaly syndromes. These range from minor cosmetic deformities to complete lack of any visual components. Congenital glaucoma is characterized by a large eye and marked photophobia. Childhood cataracts often are of known cause, such as manifestation of congenital rubella or a consequence [...]]]></description>

An emergency that often comes to medical attention too late is chemical injury. Many substances are accidentally instilled in the eye, and most of these are of no consequence. Serious alkali or acid burns are emergencies. In the first few minutes, the solution must be diluted with any liquid available. It is not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jean Edwards Holt
After an eye has been penetrated, immediate and long-term treatment is administered by an ophthalmologist. Accurate diagnosis and referral without manipulation or further examination are essential in managing these injuries. If foreign bodies are partially extruding from the eye, the diagnosis is evident. The foreign body should be left intact and removed in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jean Edwards Holt
The cornea and conjunctiva, although important, are considered superficial eye structures, and injuries to them often can be managed by a primary care physician. Subconjunctival hemorrhage usually is without sequelae, behaving as a bruise elsewhere on the body. The patient should be reassured that the blood clears over a 10- to 20-day period.

Trauma to the eyelid can be routine or quite involved. A superficial laceration, parallel to the lid margin, is similar to a skin laceration in other parts of the body and can be repaired in the same manner. Foreign bodies, however, can be overlooked; therefore the wound should be explored and irrigated well [...]]]></description>

Trauma to the orbit can be superficial, resulting in only ecchymosis of the lid (black eye), or it can be extensive, involving the bony walls and intraocular structures. Plain radiographs of the orbits are of limited value after orbital trauma except for localizing embedded metallic foreign bodies. Computed tomography (CT), both axial and [...]]]></description>

When a patient sustains ocular trauma, the most important task is to differentiate a serious, potentially blinding problem and less serious problems. The care rendered by the first physician to examine a patient with ocular trauma frequently determines the visual outcome. A few minutes can make the difference between saving or losing sight.
