A Case Report of the Intravascular Fasciitis of a Neck Vein Mimicking Intravascular Tumorous Conditions.

Intravascular fasciitis is a rare variant of nodular fasciitis, which can be easily misdiagnosed as a tumorous condition. We had a patient with an intravenous mass of a neck vein, and surgical excision was successful. Although all preoperative imaging studies and intraoperative pathologic reports suggested certain tumorous conditions as differential diagnosis results, the final diagnosis confirmed that it was an intravascular fasciitis based on its fibromixoid tissues with the proliferation of spindle cells and positive immunohistochemical staining for smooth muscle actin.

The Effects of Two Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, Bromfenac 0.1% and Ketorolac 0.45%, on Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To compare the additive effects of two types of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), bromfenac 0.1% or ketorolac 0.45%, relative to topical steroid alone in cataract surgery.

Comparison of Measurements and Clinical Outcomes After Wavefront-Guided LASEK Between iDesign and WaveScan.

Purpose: To compare the measurements of refractive errors and ocular aberrations obtained using iDesign and WaveScan (Abbott Medical Optics, Inc., Santa Ana, CA), and to compare surgical outcomes of wavefront-guided LASEK using ablation profiles based on both aberrometers.

Methods: Ninety myopic eyes of 45 normal patients were evaluated using both the iDesign and WaveScan to measure spherical and cylindrical errors, spherical equivalents, and Zernike coefficients of ocular aberrations.
