Cavernous sinus thrombosis presenting with diplopia in an allogeneic bone marrow transplant recipient

“…In alloBMT recipients, these disorders have been described with toxicities related to various drugs such as cyclosporin (CSA), ganciclovir, and tacrolimus [4][5][6]. Anecdotal cases have been reported where these disorders occurred as a part of local relapse of underlying disease after BMT [7,8].

Therapiekonzepte und Behandlungsergebnisse maligner Orbitatumoren im Kindesalter

“…Bei den sekundären malignen orbitalen Erkrankungen handelt es sich vor allem um Metastasen von Neuroblastomen [16].

Die seltene orbitale Beteiligung bei okulären Retinoblastomen tritt bei unbehandelten oder sehr spät diagnostizierten Tumoren über ein direktes Tumorwachstum in den Nervus opticus oder einen Skleradurchbruch auf [20].…”
