Occult Perforating Globe Injury Caused by Intraocular Foreign Body.

Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) may be associated with occult exit wounds. The authors present a case of a man who sustained a zipper-tooth IOFB through the cornea from a car tire explosion. CT showed an IOFB within the vitreous cavity, but the IOFB was not identified during vitrectomy.

Unilateral Eye Findings: A Rare Herald of Acute Leukemia.

Background/aim: Unilateral choroidal infiltration as the initial manifestation of leukemic relapse in adults is rare, particularly after an extended period of remission. This report describes this unique ophthalmic presentation, highlights the associated diagnostic challenges, and reviews the literature.

Methods: Two cases are described and an extensive literature review was conducted.

Visual Outcomes after Proton Beam Irradiation for Choroidal Melanomas Involving the Fovea.

Purpose: To report visual outcomes in patients undergoing proton beam irradiation of tumors located within 1 disc diameter of the fovea.

Design: Retrospective review.

Participants: Patients with choroidal melanoma involving the fovea treated with proton beam therapy between 1975 and 2009.

Orbital Branch of the Infraorbital Artery: Further Characterization of an Important Surgical Landmark.

The orbital branch of the infraorbital artery, a key vascular structure that is not universally noted in orbital textbooks and atlases, is clinically significant, since injury to it can result in perioperative hemorrhage. We conducted a cadaver dissection to document its presence, measure its location, and evaluate it histopathologically. It was present in 8 of 9 orbits and was a mean distance of 16.
