“…They arise from the midline within the subgaleal space, usually located within the anterior fontanelle 2,3. They arise primarily from neuroectoderm entrapped during embryonic closure 4. These lesions are slow growing, usually diagnosed between birth and the first 5 years of life.…”

“…These lesions are slow growing, usually diagnosed between birth and the first 5 years of life. Midline dermoid cysts can be associated with cranial and spinal dysraphism as well as intracranial extension and as such require early evaluation and treatment 4–6. Transillumination is a feature very rarely seen within dermoid cysts and has been utilized as a tool to not only characterize these lesions but differentiate them from a meningocele or encephalocele, which require a different surgical strategy 2–4,7–10.…”

explored. These uncertain factors may produce some unpredictable consequences which could influence the effects of the operation. For patients who still have complications, such as the narrowing and lightening of the double-eyelid line after using this technology, the following reasons should be taken into consideration: (1) pretarsal tissue are removed insufficiently; (2) the mechanical equilibrium might change as time goes by after operation. Indeed, we think the most difficult problem in operation is to maintain the balance of biomechanics on the upper eyelid. In the following study, we expect to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the biomechanics condition of the upper eyelid and hope to find some ways to measure the resistance. CONCLUSIONSThe new method for aesthetic upper blepharoplasty is described above. The core of this technique is to keep the biomechanics balance between enhancing the lifting force and reducing the resisting force of the upper eyelid. The author makes sure that it is easy for patients to open their eyes after surgery applying this technique. Taking advantage of the biomechanics balance principle in incision blepharoplasty can obtain long-term dynamic and vivid appearance with less adverse reactions. And the complications of the narrowing and lightening of the doubleeyelid line are reduced.

“…Dermoid cysts arise from ectodermal remnants, sequestered due to the incomplete fusion of the neuroectoderm during the formation of the neural tube, and can be differentiated from both the ectoderm and mesoderm [1]. Histologically, dermoid cysts have a fibrous wall lined by keratinizing squamous epithelium, and contain skin adnexa such as hair follicles, smooth muscles, and sweat and sebaceous glands [2].…”

Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography Follow-Up on Spontaneous Bone Healing after Excision of Periorbital Dermoid Cyst: A Case Report

et al. 2021

Dermoid cysts are among the most common periorbital and orbital tumors presenting in childhood. Several studies have shown that dermoid cysts may deform adjacent bones; however, few studies have followed the course of bone regeneration after the excision of a cyst. We report a case of a 29-month-old female infant who presented with a palpable mass over her right lateral eyebrow. Ultrasonography findings suggested a dermoid cyst, and computed tomography revealed a 2.1-cm round bony defect in the right zygoma. After surgical excision of the dermoid cyst, we successfully applied fibrin sealant to eliminate the dead space. Pathological findings showed nodular lesions with flat cystic walls containing lamellated keratin and sebaceous glands, supporting the diagnosis of dermoid cyst. At 6 months postoperatively, a follow-up computed tomography scan confirmed complete recovery of the bone defect in the right zygoma.
