Corneal dystrophies are a group of rare genetic eye disorders characterized by the accumulation of abnormal material in different layers of the cornea, potentially leading to vision impairment. In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is an emerging non-invasive imaging and diagnostic tool that helps study the ocular surface microstructure. This case report examines the clinical characteristics of Avellino corneal dystrophy in a young patient through the use of slit lamp examination, IVCM, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in order to assess the effectiveness of these non-invasive tests as diagnostic tools.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: To analyze the prevalence of peripapillary intra-choroidal cavitation (PICC) in eyes with gamma peripapillary atrophy (γPPA), in eyes with peripapillary staphyloma (PPS) and in those combining γPPA and PPS and to analyze border tissue discontinuity in PICC.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional non interventional study included highly myopic eyes. Non-highly myopic eyes were used as control.
Purpose: Myopic eyes combining gamma peripapillary atrophy and peripapillary staphyloma were sorted according to the presence of intrachoroidal cavitation (PICCs) or its absence (combinations). Visual field defects (VFDs) and factors discriminating these groups were analyzed.
Methods: These groups were sorted by optical coherence tomography.
Purpose: Vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, has revolutionized the prognosis of late-stage melanoma patients, rising at the same time concerns about its potential adverse effects. Here is a case of vemurafenib-induced uveitis, peculiar in both its presentation and management.
Methods: Case report, diagnostic, and therapeutic challenge.
Aim: To assess the association between buried optic disc drusen (BODD) location using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and the location of associated visual field defects (VFD) using the Garway-Heath mapping.
Methods: This monocentric retrospective cross-sectional study was led at the authors' institution. Adult patients diagnosed with BODD who had complete records with a reliable Humphrey 24-2 visual field, macular, and papillary OCT were enrolled.
Purpose: To compare the peripapillary polar characteristics in eyes combining peripapillary staphyloma and gamma peripapillary atrophy according to whether peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (PICC) was present or absent (combination-group).
Patients And Methods: This prospective non-interventional cross-sectional study included 667 eyes of 334 subjects. From the polar peripapillary regions to the opening of Bruch's membrane, the following elements and their topographic relationships were analyzed using optical coherence tomography sections: configuration of the posterior curvature of the choroid, visibility of the subarachnoid space (SAS), and suprachoroidal detachment (SCD).
Introduction: Healthcare professionals have been treating patients with COVID-19 since the pandemic started in early 2020 while also trying to limit disease spread among their coworkers and communities. This study aimed to identify and follow potentially infected healthcare workers in one hospital in order to develop an epidemiological baseline for COVID-19 infection and spread rates in this population.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study was conducted between 1 April and 30 June 2020 at a single Belgian hospital.
Introduction: We describe the case of a child affected by typical symptoms of Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS), related to the methylphenidate treatment he was taking for an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). To our knowledge, this is the first case of methylphenidate-associated AIWS.
Methods: Retrospective single center observational case report.
