RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To describe our experience and outcomes managing complete third cranial nerve palsy. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of the clinical records of 7 consecutive patients treated at our centre for unilateral third nerve palsy over the period 2010-2016. We describe our surgical approach using a frontalis muscle flap to correct the eyelid ptosis associated with medial fixation of the rectus muscle tendon to the orbit to correct the horizontal deviation. RESULTS: The seven patients, four women and three men, were of mean age of 44 ± 19 years [18-75 years]. Follow up was 29 ± 31 months [5-82 months]. In the preoperative exam, exotropia in prism diopters (PD) was -70 ± -28 PD [-30 to -90 PD]. At the end of follow up, this was reduced to -11 ± -14 PD [0 to -30 PD]. Preoperative marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1) was -4 ± 1 mm [-3 to -5 mm] and palpebral fissure height (PFH) was 0.5 ± 1 mm [0-2 mm]. Surgical undercorrection was the target in all patients due to the absent or poor Bell's phenomenon. At the end of follow up, MRD1 was 2.5 ± 0.5 mm [2-3 mm] and PFH was 7 ± 1 mm [6-8 mm]. Cosmetic and functional results were good in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: Medial fixation of the rectus muscle tendon to the orbit associated with a frontalis muscle flap is a valid option for the treatment of exotropia and ptosis in patients with third cranial nerve palsy.

Primary intraocular malignant rhabdoid tumor is classified as a malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor. It is extremely rare, highly aggressive, and, so far, only one case (in a newborn) has been described in the medical literature. The authors report a second case of primary intraocular malignant rhabdoid tumor, this time without extrascleral involvement and in a teenager, and describe its histological, immunohistochemical, and radiological characteristics along with clinical correlations.
