“…This was similar to the study by Deshmukh et al where the mean age observed in their study was 43.17 years ( 1 ). In contrast, this was higher than some other studies in the literature as we have excluded pediatric patients from our study ( 8 , 9 ). Peak age group in our study was 40–50 years, accounting 63 (25%) of the cases.…”

“…Intracranial tumors cause ocular nerve involvement either by infiltration or by mass effect. Although the third nerve palsy is the most common in sellar region tumors, sixth nerve involvement is seen more commonly as a manifestation of raised intracranial pressure due to the long intracranial course making it more prone to stretching over the tip of the petrous bone producing a false localizing sign ( 8 ). This is the cause for increased incidence of sixth nerve palsy as compared to third and fourth nerve palsies in our study.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the epidemiology, neuro-ophthalmic, and clinical characteristics of intracranial space occupying lesions (ICSOLs) in adult patients. Methods: All patients above 16 years presenting with brain tumors confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and treated surgically in our institute were included in this study. Epidemiology of the patients along with neurological and ophthalmic manifestation was evaluated. Results: A total of 252 patients were included in the study ranging from 18 years to 79 years. Supratentorial location was more common than infratentorial location. The most common neurological symptom in our study was headache followed by seizures. Ophthalmic manifestations were present in (73.4%) of patients. The most common visual symptoms and signs were visual loss, strabismus, papilledema, and visual field defects. The most common histopathological diagnosis seen in our study was meningiomas followed by high-grade gliomas. Conclusion: Ocular signs and symptoms can be considered as a window to the brain through which ICSOLs can be detected. The most common neurological manifestation of ICSOL in our study was headache with or without true localizing signs and symptoms. More frequently, these patients present to an ophthalmologist before a neurosurgeon with related ocular manifestations. Hence, through our study, we emphasize the importance of a detailed ophthalmological examination in these patients which can aid in early diagnosis and prompt management of such lesions.

BACKGROUND The main attributes of cornea which makes it optically important is its ability to maintain its dehydrated state. This corneal dehydration can be achieved and maintained by various factors among which corneal endothelial cell count and morphology play a significant role. Corneal attributes considered in this study i.e. the corneal endothelial cell count and central corneal thickness are extremely variable, and changes are seen even with smaller changes in anterior segment or overall structural changes in eyes. We wanted to compare central corneal thickness in emmetropia and axial myopia and compare corneal endothelial cell count in emmetropia and axial myopia. METHODS The sample size was decided taking into consideration various prevalence studies. The patients were consecutively recruited for the study considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The subjects were divided into two groups emmetropia and axial myopia and were differentiated on the basis of the axial lengths. Specular microscopy was performed for the subjects and corneal endothelial cell count, morphology and central corneal thickness were measured, and comparative study was performed. RESULTS This study of 80 eyes shows us that the difference between mean the corneal endothelial cell count between emmetrope (2812.80 cells / mm2) and axial myopes (2653 cells / mm2) is statistically significant where p was < 0.05 while the mean central corneal thickness measurements didn’t show statistically significant change between emmetrope (490.05 microns) and axial myope. (489.37 microns). CONCLUSIONS Axial length has an indirect correlation with the corneal endothelial cell count which is statistically significant. While significant correlation between the central corneal thickness and axial length cannot be established in this study.
