“…Notably, it is exceedingly rare for MPA to present with temporal artery involvement, as only a small handful of such cases have been reported to date [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In our review of the literature, we identified only 14 cases of MPA reported to involve the temporal artery (Table 1).…”

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is an idiopathic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic vasculitis. While the lungs and kidneys are the major organs affected by MPA, it is known to involve multiple organ systems throughout the body. Temporal artery involvement is a very rare finding in MPA. This report presents a patient whose initial presentation was consistent with giant cell arteritis but was ultimately found to have microscopic polyangiitis. It highlights the importance of considering alternative types of vasculitis in the differential diagnosis for patients with atypical temporal artery biopsy findings.

“…However, there are reports of unusual foreign bodies like one's own hair, caterpillar hair getting impacted. 7 Ocular foreign bodies can be classified based on the nature of foreign body into Organic and Inorganic type. Depending on the location of corneal foreign bodies, they can be divided into Superficial, Stromal or Deep.…”

Corneal foreign bodies are commonly seen in an ophthalmology emergency. The most common cause of this condition is a workplace-related injury. In these situations, the management differs from patient to patient and depends on a wide range of variables. In this article, we aim to review the literature on corneal foreign bodies in the past 50 years and classify them based on their level of impaction and elaborately discuss all the management options described for each.
