Bilateral central retinal artery occlusion: An exceptional complication after frontal parasagittal meningioma resection.

Background: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a rare acute disease associated with great morbidity. It is reported as a complication of surgical procedures, but rarely associated with brain surgery and no reports before due to parasagittal meningioma resection.

Case Description: We present the case of a 41-year-old female who underwent surgery for a parasagittal meningioma and developed a bilateral CRAO as an acute postoperative complication.

Detection of Endophthalmitis in a Newborn Using Handheld Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

In a newborn with candidemia, two retinal lesions were seen without external inflammatory signs or reaction in the anterior chamber or vitreous. However, handheld spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (HH SD-OCT) images show that one of the retinal lesions had a "firework display" projecting to the vitreous that was not identified in indirect ophthalmoscopy. This finding suggested a endophthalmitis.

[Squamous neoplasia of the ocular surface in patients with pterygium in Peru].

Objectives: To estimate the frequency of unsuspected ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) in pterygium, the accuracy of clinical diagnosis, and associated demographic and clinical characteristics.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed histopathological reports of patients with a clinical diagnosis of pterygium and/or OSSN who were surgically treated between March 2009 and December 2012 at the National Eye Institute in Lima, Peru. The accuracy of the clinical diagnosis of OSSN was assessed by sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios.
