“…In our study, new sterile sutures were used and they were probably not responsible for the granuloma because the interval between surgery and granuloma formation was short. Eye ointment has also been implicated in granuloma formation 12 …”

We present a rare case of infected pyogenic conjunctival granuloma mimicking a conjunctival abscess as complication of strabismus surgery in a Saudi girl with exotropia. Despite administration of local antibiotics following strabismus surgery, a patient presented with localised redness and discharge after three weeks. The patient was afebrile with no signs of pre-septal or orbital cellulitis. After culture (Staphylococcus aureus) sensitivity testing the patient was prescribed oral Amoxicillin and Clavulanate and reviewed under general anaesthesia. A 55 mm2 conjunctival pyogenic granuloma was noted. A punch biopsy specimen indicated inflammatory and histiocytic cells. The addition of steroid to the medical therapy resulted in a quiet eye after three weeks.

“…The transconjunctival approach was primary described in 1924 to the lower orbital fat and the inferior orbital surface (Korchia et al 2003). Transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty is most acceptable as a safe and effective method to eliminate herniated orbital fat from the lower eyelid and avoiding the complications of a cutaneous incision (Belinsky et al 2015).…”

Despite its effectiveness for the facial rejuvenation, blepharoplasty has been associated with several adverse effects. One of the most common side effects of this surgery is eyelid malposition and scleral show which is not suitable from esthetic point of view. Although some techniques have been used for the blepharoplasty of the lower eyelid, the effect of these techniques has not been defi nitely identifi ed in the incidence of scleral show. The present study compared the effects of lower eyelid blepharoplasty with transconjunctival and transcutaneous approaches in the incidence of scleral show in patients. 22 candidates of the lower eyelid blepharoplasty were studied. The patients had no history of systemic disease, previous lower eyelid blepharoplasty, trauma or dry eye syndrome. The patients were randomly assigned in 2 methods of transconjunctival and transcutaneous approaches. The surgeries were perform on 2 eyelids of the left and right sides and in total, 44 eyelids were subjected to blepharoplasty surgery in both sides of the patients in 2 approaches. The incidence of scleral show in both modalities was studied 2, 4 and 6 months post-surgery. In this study, 22 patients were included for eyelid blepharoplasty (44 eyelids). In the transconjuctival approach, 4 males and 7 females with average age of the 57.09 years old were included. For transcutaneous approach, 5 males and 5 females average age of the 56.18 years old were included. According to the results, no scleral was showed using transconjuctival approach after 2 months. Two months after transcutaneous approach only 2 (9%) scleral was observed (P<0.8). No
