Computer guided resection and reconstruction of intra-osseous zygomatic hemangioma: Case report and systematic review of literature

Blood within the bone: orbital intraosseous venous malformation

PURPOSE

Description of clinical features, radiological characteristics, and management strategies in primary orbital intraosseous venous malformation (OIVM) with pertinent literature review.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis including clinical, radiologic, operative, and histopathological data of six cases of histopathologically proven OIVM was done. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using online databases and augmented with manual search to identify reported cases of OIVM.

RESULTS

Study data showed five females and one male in young to middle-age group, with an average age of 30 years (range: 20-48 years). Proptosis was noted in five cases (83.33%), and the duration of symptoms ranged from 6 months to 10 years. Frontal and zygomatic bones were most frequently affected and expansile bony lesion was the most common CT scan finding. Three patients underwent pre-operative embolization of feeders followed by en bloc excision of mass and surgical reconstruction (50%); one patient was managed with partial excision (16.66%) while two were regularly followed-up after incision biopsy (33.33%). Histopathology revealed vascular spaces with endothelial lining, separated by bony trabeculae in all patients. Follow-up periods ranged from 6 to 48 months and no recurrence or progression were noted.

CONCLUSIONS

OIVM is an exceptionally rare disorder with a gradually progressive benign course. Ophthalmologists need to be mindful of this entity during patient evaluation as it has propensity for large volume blood loss intra-operatively, owing to its vascular nature. Complete excision with reconstruction of resultant defect is the preferred treatment strategy and without known recurrence.

Intraosseous Hemangioma of the Zygomatic Bone with Multidisciplinary Approach to Surgical Resection and Orbital Reconstruction

Background

Intraosseous hemangiomas are rare benign tumors comprising fewer than 1% of all osseous tumors; even more uncommon are intraosseous hemangiomas of the zygomatic bone. This case reports a multidisciplinary approach for excision and reconstruction of an intraosseous hemangioma of the zygomatic bone in a 54-year-old female.

Methods

Multidisciplinary approach with both otolaryngology head and neck surgery and oculofacial plastics and reconstructive surgery included right lateral canthotomy and right transconjunctival orbitotomy with en-bloc excision of the zygomatic arch, followed by reconstruction of the orbital rim, orbital floor, and eyelid with Medpor implant.

Results

Final surgical pathology was consistent with intraosseous hemangioma of the zygomatic bone. At 4-month follow-up, the patient was healing well with good midface projection and without any visual deficits.

Conclusions

A multidisciplinary coordinated case allowed us to meet the standard of maintaining cosmesis and function while undergoing resection of a rare tumor involving a key facial structure-the zygoma. Involvement of oculofacial plastics and reconstructive surgery service allowed for advanced eyelid reconstruction techniques to limit any functional impairment to our patient with deliberate choice of implant material for well-adhered, durable, and aesthetically optimal reconstruction of the right malar eminence, lateral orbital rim, and orbital floor defect. The postoperative result through the multidisciplinary approach was a near symmetrical facial reconstruction without any associated eyelid or globe abnormalities.

Intraosseous venous malformation of the zygoma: Case report and pooled analysis

The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive summary of the clinical and radiological features of zygomatic intraosseous venous malformations (IVM), as well as its treatment strategies. The aim is to establish preoperative diagnostic bases that will aid in the identification of zygomatic IVM and facilitate the implementation of effective treatment. Four cases of pathologically diagnosed zygomatic IVM with typical clinical and radiological features were reported. They exhibited comparable clinical and radiological features, and the En bloc excision and reconstruction yielded satisfactory outcome. Pooled data analysis was performed with additional 74 cases collected from 63 previous studies. The results revealed a higher incidence of zygomatic IVMs in middle-aged females, with swelling, pain and ocular dysfunction being the typical clinical manifestations. The characteristic radiological features of these lesions were well-defined, round bony structures with specific internal trabecular patterns. A diagnostic flow-chart assisting the differential diagnosis of IVM was established. En bloc excision was deemed the most advantageous treatment option, as it presented minimal risk of haemorrhaging and no instances of recurrence. The decision to pursue reconstruction was contingent upon the extent of the defect. Alloplastic material has emerged as the most frequently employed reconstruction material in recent reports. The summarized characteristics of zygomatic IVM and the proposed diagnostic and treatment strategies, derived from the pooled analysis of reported cases, may help to improve diagnosis and management in further clinical practice.

Intraosseous hemangioma of the orbit: a case report involving pre-operative embolization with reconstruction using a custom porous polyethylene implant

A 28-year-old female presented with a slowly enlarging, left cheek mass over two years. She underwent neuroimaging and was found to have a well-defined, low attenuating lesion with thickened vertical trabeculation of the left zygoma, consistent with intraosseous hemangioma. To minimize the risk of severe intraoperative hemorrhage, the patient underwent embolization of the mass by neuro-interventional radiology two days prior to resection. The patient subsequently underwent a left anterior orbitotomy and partial zygoma resection followed by reconstruction of the lateral orbit with a custom porous polyethylene zygomaxillary implant. The postoperative course was uneventful with a good cosmetic outcome.

Management of Massive Mandibular Fibrous Dysplasia with Radical Excision and Different Immediate Reconstructive Modalities: Case Series Report

Purpose

To review and represent three different mandibular reconstruction modalities following surgical treatment of massive mandibular fibrous Dysplasia (MMFD).

Methods

The present retrospective case series study was conducted on 24 patients who had MMFD and treated via resection and immediate reconstruction at Al-Azhar University Hospitals, Egypt. Patients were divided into three groups according to the grafting procedure. Group I patients were grafted with iliac bone graft (IBG), group II patients were grafted with IBG and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), while group III patients were grafted with free vascularized fibula graft (FVFG). Postoperative clinical and radiographic assessments were performed immediately, at 6 months, 12 months and 2 years to evaluate lesion recurrence and bone graft resorption. Other study variables included assessment of postoperative wound dehiscence, infection rate, amount of edema, and facial bone contour.

Results

The parameters of the clinical analysis showed non-statistically significant differences among all groups. Postoperative wound healing was clinically uneventful in all groups, except for two cases of wound dehiscence in group I (8.3%) and one case in group III (4.2%). Most patients had appropriate postoperative facial contour, and adequate facial symmetry. The radiographic measurements revealed a highly statistically significant difference between group I and II at 12 months, and two years, without any statistically significant difference between group II and III.

Conclusion

MMFD surgical defect should be repaired for function and cosmetics aims especially in young adult patients. The findings of the present study have shown that when compared to traditional IBG alone or FVFG, the use of autogenous IBG with BMAC injection produces a favorable outcome with few difficulties.

Case report of a zygomatic bone hemangioma surgery with reconstruction by a custom-made implant

Intraosseous hemangiomas are rare tumors. A 43-year-old woman was referred with a mass in the right zygomatic bone, showing a slow volume increase and pain symptomatology. A surgical management with bone reconstruction using a custom-made implant was decided. Historically, various autografts and alloplastic materials have been used for this type of bone loss. The use of custom-made biomaterials opens new possibilities in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery. The patient showed no symptoms postoperatively and her zygomatic bones were symmetrized. For the authors, this approach seems to be a reliable and reproducible method for zygomatic bone reconstructions.
