A Rare Manifestation of Discoid Lupus Erythematosus Solely in the Lower Eyelid of a Young Man.

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE)-associated edema and erythema on the lower eyelid as the only manifestation of the disease is a rare clinical entity. Persistent discoid lupus-related lower eyelid manifestations are challenging to diagnose, can be mistaken for blepharitis or malignancies, and often require histopathological evaluation. If left untreated, the condition can progress, among others, to conjunctival scarring or symblepharon formation.

Comparison of intraocular pressure obtained by Goldmann applanation tonometer, Corvis ST and an airpuff tonometer in healthy adults.

To assess the agreement among four types of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements: IOP obtained by Goldmann applanation tonometer (IOP-GAT),IOP obtained by an air-puff tonometer (Nidek NT-510)(IOP-NCT), the non-corrected IOP obtained by the Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology (IOP-Corvis) and the biomechanically corrected IOP obtained by the Corvis ST (bIOP-Corvis) in healthy patients with a broad spectrum of IOP values. This prospective, observational study recruited 113 healthy individuals. Each patient underwent IOP evaluation via GAT, Nidek NT-510 and Corvis ST.

Resection of an orbital haemangiopericytoma after direct intraoperative injection of 40% -butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and 60% Lipiodol.

Haemangiopericytoma is a highly vascular tumour, which is a rare soft tissue lesion that may arise anywhere in the body, including the orbit. During its surgical resection, it is too friable for the surgeon to handle and it can bleed severely causing many problems to the surgeon. That is why many surgical approaches have been reported till now, aiming at total excision with minimal blood loss.

Patterns of macular edema in patients with uveitis: qualitative and quantitative assessment using optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To describe the morphologic characteristics of uveitic macular edema by the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to investigate the correlation between tomographic features and visual acuity (VA).

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Participants: Seventy consecutive patients with uveitis in a university-based practice with a clinical diagnosis of macular edema in at least one eye.
