Disparities in Visual Field Testing Frequency Among Subjects With Glaucoma.

Purpose: Prior evidence suggests racial disparities in the utilization of visual field testing (VFT) for the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma. In this study, we considered the effect of baseline glaucoma severity and socioeconomic disadvantage along with other potential confounders such as test reliability, ancillary tests, and glaucoma surgeries on racial disparity in the frequency of VFT.

Methods: The records of all subjects with a diagnosis of glaucoma who received VFT at an academic, tertiary care facility from January 2018 to December 2021 were accessed.

Menstrual Irregularities and Amenorrhea in Thyroid Eye Disease Patients Treated With Teprotumumab.

Purpose: To evaluate the rates of amenorrhea and menstrual irregularities in patients with active thyroid eye disease treated with teprotumumab.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of patients with active thyroid eye disease treated between 2020 and 2022 at a single institution. Female thyroid eye disease patients with regular menstruation at baseline who completed 8 infusions of teprotumumab were assessed.

Miniature Palpebral Plexiform Neurofibroma in Neurofibromatosis Type 2.

A 27-year-old woman with well-documented neurofibromatosis 2 developed a soft, painless, nodular lesion on the skin surface of the left upper eyelid over 2 years. Following excision, histopathology revealed a plexiform neurofibroma with intradermal nodules comprised of benign round and spindle cells that reacted diffusely with immunohistochemical stains SOX-10 and S100. A subset showed focal reactivity for neurofilament and CD34.

Eccrine Cyst (Hidrocystoma) of the Inner Canthus: A Rare Entity With Immunohistologic Confirmation.

A small ruptured cyst was excised from the left inner canthus of a 68-year-old woman. Histopathology displayed a cyst lined by a double layer of cuboidal epithelium and filled with amorphous material. The lining cells were strongly positive for cytokeratins 5/6 and 14, with weak reactivity with cytokeratin 7.

Solitary Intratarsal Blue Nevus.

A 42-year-old woman presented with a small pigmented lesion of the palpebral conjunctiva that had been present for a few months. Because of the possibility of melanoma, the lesion was resected. Microscopic examination displayed an intratarsal blue nevus at the level of the meibomian glands comprised of bland nonpigmented and pigmented cells that enveloped a sebaceous gland and its ducts.

Central Retinal Artery Visualization with Cone-Beam CT Angiography.

Background There are multiple tools available to visualize the retinal and choroidal vasculature of the posterior globe. However, there are currently no reliable in vivo imaging techniques that can visualize the entire retrobulbar course of the retinal and ciliary vessels. Purpose To identify and characterize the central retinal artery (CRA) using cone-beam CT (CBCT) images obtained as part of diagnostic cerebral angiography.

Ophthalmic artery occlusion due to orbital compartment syndrome after a frontotemporal craniotomy.

A 32-year-old female with a right frontal lobe glioma underwent an elective frontotemporal craniotomy. One hour postoperatively, the patient developed a right orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) with unilateral acute vision loss, proptosis, afferent pupillary defect, and complete ophthalmoplegia. The patient underwent emergent lateral canthotomy and inferior cantholysis.

Epibulbar Subconjunctival Apocrine Hidrocystoma.

Apocrine hidrocystomas are benign cystic tumors derived from apocrine sweat glands; they are most commonly located in the skin of the head and neck regions. Ophthalmic occurrences characteristically appear at the lash line and canthi of the eyelid, although rare instances have been described in the conjunctiva, caruncle, and orbit. The authors describe an exceptional instance of a mobile epibulbar subconjunctival apocrine hidrocystoma in a 57-year-old woman without a history of previous ocular injury or surgery.

Myositis of an Extraocular Muscle, a Possible Drug Reaction: Histopathologic and Immunopathologic Analysis.

A 58-year-old man presented with left-sided orbital inflammation, including chemosis and a lateral rectus abduction defect. Initially presumed to represent cellulitis, the condition responded poorly to oral and intravenous antibiotics. CT showed the epicenter of an infiltrate to involve the lateral rectus.

Gender Compensation Gap for Ophthalmologists in the First Year of Clinical Practice.

Purpose: To identify the role of gender and other factors in influencing ophthalmologists' compensation.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Participants: U.

Ossifying Pilomatrixoma of the Eyelid.

Pilomatrixoma, an uncommon, usually benign cutaneous appendageal tumor, shows differentiation toward the hair follicle matrix cell. It undergoes various histopathologic stages, early on displaying epithelial and shadow cells along with granulomatous inflammation. In later stages, illustrated by this unusual case, epithelial cells disappear and are replaced by calcification and ossification.

Fibrous Dysplasia-like Lacrimal Sac Tumor Associated With Dacryocystitis.

A 72-year-old woman who presented with right-sided epiphora and conjunctivitis underwent a probing and irrigation procedure with normal results. She improved with antibiotic-steroid drops. A swelling in the medial canthal region completely resolved.

Aggressive esthesioneuroblastoma with divergent differentiation: A taxonomic dilemma.

The authors describe an esthesioneuroblastoma (olfactory neuroblastoma) that occurred within the nasal cavity and brain in a 31-year-old man. Following excision, the tumor recurred in the left orbit and in mediastinal lymph nodes. Treatment included orbital excision and systemic chemotherapy.
