“…Previous reports have shown that SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant occurs in both eyes in more than half of the cases. [1–4,13] In our experience, 65.9% of cases of SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant were bilateral. In contrast, 12 of 15 cases (80.0%) with SHOF in other locations were unilateral.…”

“…SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant frequently occurs bilaterally in elderly obese men. [1] In contrast, none of the previous reports mentioned characteristics of patients with SHOF in the other quadrants. However, according to previous reports, [2–10] SHOF in other quadrants seems to occur unilaterally even in young, non-obese women.…”

“…The most common location of SHOF is the superotemporal quadrant because aging causes weakening of Tenon's capsule in this portion, thereby promoting protrusion of intraconal fat through this weak point. [1,2] In contrast, SHOF in areas other than the superotemporal quadrant is extremely rare.…”

Subconjunctival herniated orbital fat (SHOF) usually occurs in the superotemporal quadrant, and SHOF located in other quadrants is extremely rare. This study aimed to compare the patient characteristics between patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and those with SHOF in other quadrants. This is a retrospective study of 45 patients with SHOF who were referred to our institution between January 2015 and January 2023 and 14 previously reported patients in published case reports of SHOF that were not located in the superotemporal quadrant. Data on patient age, sex, affected sides, and body mass index were collected from the medical records of our institution and from previous reports. Patient age, male-to-female ratio, unilateral-to-bilateral ratio, and body mass index were compared between patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and patients with SHOF in the other quadrants. Of the 45 patients, only 1 patient showed SHOF in a location other than the superotemporal quadrant (inferonasal quadrant). Based on a comparison of 44 patients with SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and 15 patients with SHOF in the other quadrants, the latter entity predominantly occurred in young, non-obese females (P < .050). Unilateral cases were more common in SHOF in the other quadrants (P = .003). Patient characteristics were found to be different between cases of SHOF in the superotemporal quadrant and those with SHOF in the other quadrants.

Surgical outcomes of 20 patients treated by one surgeon between March 2014 and August 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. The authors included 20 patients with subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse (SOFP) treated by a small-incision, sutureless surgical technique using local anesthesia. All patients were followed for at least 3 months postoperatively. Medical information such as patient's age, number of eyes involved, location of fat, surgical time and whether or not the prolapse recurred was reviewed. Twenty patients (16 men and 4 women) were included and had a mean age of 67.1 years. There were 7 bilateral and 13 unilateral SOFP cases. There were no intra-operative or postoperative complications and no cases of recurrence within a mean follow-up of 3 months. All surgeries were successful from both cosmetic and symptomatic perspectives. Our small-incision, sutureless surgical technique is an effective method to manage SOFP. This technique, performed with local anesthesia, is both cost- and time-effective.
