A Case of Trigeminal Neuralgia Treated With Combination of Antihistamine, Montelukast, and Corticosteroid Nasal Spray.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a nerve disorder of the face associated with excruciating pain that occurs in paroxysms and can be initiated by even mild cutaneous stimuli. Diagnosis of TN is based on the patient's history and the diagnosis of exclusion. The first-line treatment usually comprises carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine.

Bilateral Anterior Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy in a Child on Continuous Peritoneal Dialysis: Case report and literature review.

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a serious complication of continuous peritoneal dialysis (CPD) which can lead to poor vision and blindness. We report a five-year-old girl who had undergone a bilateral nephrectomy at the age of one year and was on home CPD. She was referred to the Paediatric Ophthalmology Unit of Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2013 with acute bilateral vision loss, preceded by a three-day history of poor oral intake.

New Ocular Associations in Sanjad-Sakati Syndrome: Case report from Oman.

Sanjad-Sakati syndrome (SSS; Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [OMIM] #241410), also known as hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism (HRD) syndrome, is an autosomal recessive disorder in which prenatal-onset extreme growth retardation, congenital hypoparathyroidism and craniofacial dysmorphism result from mutations in the tubulin-specific chaperone E (TBCE) gene on chromosome 1q42-43. We report unique ophthalmic findings in a two-year-old child with molecularly confirmed SSS, who was admitted to Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Oman at 11 weeks old with bilateral congenital corneal clouding. The ophthalmic findings in this patient were linked to faulty microtubule assembly in the brain, abnormal intracellular membrane transport and the resulting metabolic derangement seen in patients with SSS.
