Coexistence of severe peripheral ulcerative keratitis and lichen planus: case report.

Introduction And Importance: Ocular involvement in lichen planus is highly uncommon, primarily affecting the eyelids, conjunctiva, and less frequently, the cornea. Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK), a rare subtype form of corneal lichen planus, has been reported only once in the literature.

Case Presentation: The authors report details of a 34-year-old man with confirmed cutaneous lichen planus who developed severe PUK, a rare ocular manifestation of lichen planus.

Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis in unique double origin: a case report.

Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is a rare orbital pathology. It can cause serious complications if it isn´t diagnosed appropriately. It can be secondary to many etiologies, septic or aseptic ones.

Atypical Presentation Revealing Sorsby Macular Dystrophy: A Case Report.

Sorsby macular dystrophy is an autosomal dominant disorder secondary to heterozygous mutations in the TIMP3 gene in 22q12. It begins with fine, pale, drusen-like deposits or confluent, faint yellow material or sheets beneath the retinal pigment epithelium, but it eventually progresses to either geographic atrophy with pigmentary clumps or scars due to the choroidal neovascular membrane around the fourth decade of life. We describe a patient who presented with a progressive loss of unilateral visual acuity, wrongly suggesting an infectious or inflammatory disease.

Pattern of Preferred Cataract Surgery Practices in Morocco: A Survey-Based Study.

Aim and methodology The aim of the study was to describe the preferred cataract surgery practices among Moroccan ophthalmologists and compare them with practices in other countries. An online survey consisting of 29 multiple-choice questions was sent to Moroccan ophthalmologists. The questions were centered on the preferred cataract surgical practices of the participants.

Ophthalmologic school-based screening revealing Kearns-Sayre syndrome: a case report.

Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a rare mitochondrial disorder. It had a triad of features, including progressive external ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy, and an alteration of cardiac conduction. The ocular manifestations include bilateral ptosis, progressive external ophthalmoplegia, and atypical pigmentary retinopathy.

Acute ischemic stroke in young women secondary to atherosclerosis: a unique ophthalmic presentation with central retinal artery occlusion: a case report.

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a rare condition. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. CRAO is analogous to an acute stroke of the eye.

[Unusual complication of radiation therapy, corneal perforation: about a case].

Radiation-induced ocular complications are common during radiation therapy for cancers of the head and neck. Some are mild and transient, others can be very serious jeopardizing visual function. This rare and unusual case study aims to highlight the different clinical manifestations and the ocular but especially corneal complications associated with radiation therapy as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of a corneal perforation which is a serious complication of radiation therapy.

[Conjunctival granuloma following neglected thorn injury: about a case].

It is sometimes difficult to detect a plant intraocular foreign body, mostly in cases where the history of ocular trauma is unclear, or in patients who consult several months after the trauma. We report a rare case of a 7 year old child with self inflicted trauma of the the left eye by a cactus thorn 3 months before admission, which resulted in a temporal conjunctival granuloma with higher inflammatory reaction of the anterior segment. Surgical exploration was performed allowing the extraction of the thorn with total excision of the granuloma.
