The purpose of this study was to describe the EDI-OCT findings in an acute phase of sympathetic ophthalmia (SO). A 24-year-old gentleman was referred to clinic complaining of progressive blurry vision of his right eye within last 3 days. He had a history of repaired corneoscleral laceration in his left eye followed by lensectomy and anterior vitrectomy approximately 1 month before his recent right eye discomfort. Physical examination revealed a granulomatous uveitis with an exudative RD of the right eye consistent with SO. EDI-OCT was done at initial exam and repeated 1 and 15 months after therapy. EDI-OCT 1 month following therapy showed significant improvement in choroidal thickening and outer retinal cell layers. The choroidal thickness in the right sympathizing eye decreased from 617 to 568 μm and in the left exciting eye from 539 to 521 μm. After 15 month follow-up, choroidal thickness that is reported in EDI-OCT is 436 μm in the right and 382 μm in the left eye. SO should be added to the list of choroidopathies that cause an increase in choroidal thickness in acute phase of disorder with subsequent decrease after therapy, so help us in assessing and estimation of response to treatment.
The results demonstrated that intubation of lacerated canaliculi with Masterka tube for canalicular repair was safe, effective, and simple with minimal complications.
A 15-year-old girl, a known case of nephropathic cystinosis with a history of kidney transplantation, presented for evaluation of lid drooping in lateral gaze and a recent-onset headache. Examination of ocular movements showed bilateral limitation of abduction combined with narrowing of palpebral fissure in adduction. Deposition of polychromatic crystals in the conjunctiva and corneal stroma of both eyes was evident. Both optic discs were oedematous and intracranial pressure was 270 mm CSF, which responded to oral acetazolamide. The patient developed metabolic imbalances and multiple organ failure, from which she expired 3 months after presentation.
Metastatic involvement of the eyelids is rarely seen; specifically, those associated with lung adenocarcinoma as the source have been reported extremely rare. Eyelid metastases present with various and non-specific clinical features, and therefore biopsy of suspicious or recurrent lesions is highly recommended to rule out such malignant processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
