Harhigh, D.O. 28 South 38th Street Camp Hill, PA 17011 RBI ASHLEY HILLER OOBI 08/15/87 Dear Dr. Harhighl This is a letter concerning your patient Ashley Hiller who had an accident on Harch 12, 1993, where she fail and Buffered periorbital ecchymosis. I have been asked to see Ashley to provide additional therapeutic suggestions. Fortunately, most of Ashley's ecchymosis have sponteneously re.olved. There is no scarring present, ~here is no textural change of the skin or telangiectasia. There appears to be faint be.osiderin deposits in the malar eminsnce, both right and left, with the left being slightly mora affected. The mother was concerned about circles under Ashley's eyes. Ashley's mother felt that these were aore accentuated since the accident, e.pecially when Ashley is tired. The mother tells me that she has circles under her own eyes as well. On my exam, the circles under the ey.. appear to be a normal variant. ~ bave no objective means to compare the way these circles looked prior \0 tbe accident, I believe the hemosiderin deposits from the ecchymosis should spontaneously resolve. Ashley is fortunate that she has no fibrcsis or scarring of the skin. I have reassured the mother that the circles under Ashley'. eyes fall within the range of normal, at least vith clinical appearance. There is no way for me to tell whether or not they will get worse or better with time. occasionally, flash lamp pumped pulsed dye laser photocoagulation has been utilized to treat circles under the eyes because it has been felt that this ie a vascular phencmena. The results of this treatment have been variable and difficult to predict. For this reason, no treatment is recommended. Simple watchful waiting should be adequate. Plea.e call me if you have any questions. Thank you for allowing me to participate in the care of this delightful youngster, sincerely, jfi4.L '~I:/i" \, Hark H.
