Primary Empty Sella Syndrome (PES) is a relatively rare or uncommon developmental disease that develops spontaneously. It is characterized by herniation of subarachnoid space within the sella which is often associated with some degree of flattening of pituitary gland. Usually manifested by endocrine abnormalities, ocular abnormalities, rhinitis and intractable persistent headache. It is higher in obese females having multiple pregnancies. Here we report a case of empty sella syndrome in a 27 year old lady to aware the physicians to bear in mind a differential in patients having persistent intractable headache.
Vitreous or retinal hemorrhage occurring in association with subarachnoid hemorrhage is known as Terson's syndrome. In Terson's syndrome, intracranial hemorrhages are followed by intraocular hemorrhage, classically in the subhyaloid space, but may also include subretinal, retinal, preretinal, and vitreal collections. Usually occurs in adult, but can be at any age. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Vitreous hemorrhage recovery is usually spontaneous within 6 to 12 months, otherwise vitrectomy is considered. We report a case of Terson's syndrome which was admitted in Anwer Khan Modern Medical College & Hospital as unilateral Terson's syndrome with multiple intra retinal hemorrhage of left eye associated with Hypertension & Diabetes Mellitus.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 8, No. 2: Jul 2017, P 153-156
Goldenhar Syndrome or Oculoauriculovertebral Syndrome is a complex syndrome characterized by an association of maxillomandibular hypoplasia, deformity of the ear, ocular dermoid and vertebral anomalies and the most severe form of hemifacial microsomia. Here we describe a 12 years female patient with Goldenhar Syndrome came to Ophthalmology department at Anwer Khan Modern Medical College & Hospital.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare complex autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody formation against double strand DNA and antinuclear antibody (ANA), complement activation, and deposition of immune complexes in tissues and organs. In normal population only 0.03% suffer from SLE, among them 90% are female between the age of 20 to 30 yrs. SLE can involve any region of the visual system. Although ocular manifestations are not part of the classification criteria for SLE but retinal involvement is the most common intraocular lesion observed in up to one-third of SLE patients. The most common extra ocular lesion is keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Ocular manifestations are rarely reported at the time of disease onset, but are usually associated with active generalized systemic disease. Due to low frequency of SLE and only one third of them have ocular involvement, so reports about retinal vasculitis are very rare. But fortunately a case of Vasculitis retinae due to SLE was admitted in Anwer Khan Modern Medical College & Hospital on 04/12/2018
