Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic multisystem phakomatosis that can affect the skin, bones, and nervous system. NF1 typically presents with skin lesions, including freckles, café-au-lait macules, plexiform neurofibromas, and bony dysplasia, and is usually accompanied by a family history of the disorder. Ocular manifestations vary, but iris Lisch nodules and optic nerve gliomas are the most common features.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focused on measuring the size and volume of the lacrimal gland in patients with inactive thyroid eye disease, comparing findings with existing literature.
  • Conducted from 2015 to 2020, the study involved 21 patients, primarily men, who reported dryness but generally had good vision and mild eye protrusion.
  • Results showed that the lacrimal gland was enlarged in these patients, highlighting that even inactive thyroid eye disease affects gland size, but no specific factors like age or sex were linked to the enlargement.

Introduction: Retinoblastoma is a serious childhood intraocular neoplasm that can be diagnosed clinically with the aid of B-scan ultrasound, and radiological examination. On the other hand, the differential diagnosis includes benign and other masquerading conditions such as uveitis and endophthalmitis thus adding challenge to the proper diagnosis.

Presentation Of Case: A six-year-old girl presented with leukocoria and decreased vision of the right eye.

Aim: To determine whether the levator palpebrae superioris (LPS)/superior rectus (SR) muscle complex, can influence the position of the upper lid and fornix in acquired anophthalmic sockets.

Methods: This comparative non-randomized and non-interventional study included retrospective data of 21 patients with unilateral acquired anophthalmic sockets repaired with spheric implants. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) measurements of the LPM/SR muscle complex and clinical topographic position of the upper lid, superior and inferior fornix depth in primary gaze position were evaluated.

Introduction And Importance: Medulloepithelioma is the second most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in children but is often diagnosed late, which worsens the prognosis.

Case Presentation: We are reporting a 6-year-old boy presenting with a ciliary body (CB) teratoid malignant medulloepithelioma (TMM), which was missed at the initial presentation. We added our case to the 97 previously reported cases in our literature review that were confirmed by cytological or histopathological examination.

A systematic literature review revealed 88 Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) cases affecting the orbit. We present a review of the literature on orbital RDD in addition to two brothers with isolated bilateral extra-nodal orbital RDD cases associated with G-6PD deficiency. The disease manifested as asymmetric extensive orbital and paranasal sinus infiltration, with orbital bone destruction.

Article Synopsis
  • Optic nerve avulsion (ONA) is a serious eye injury investigated over 8 years at a Middle Eastern eye care center, encompassing a study of 44 cases.
  • The majority of patients were young males, with the left eye being more commonly affected, and the leading cause of ONA being injuries from metallic objects.
  • The study highlights that most patients experienced severe vision loss, with many ending with no light perception, indicating a high risk of permanent blindness.

We report a case of 51-year-old medically healthy male who presented with gradual painless diminution of vision in both eyes for 3 months. His visual acuity was hand movement perception in the right eye, and no light perception in the left eye. The intraocular pressure, external eye examination, ocular motility and anterior segment examinations were normal.

We report a healthy 18-year-old male Saudi with bilateral agenesis of the lacrimal puncta and canaliculi associated with large dacryocystocele on the right side without tearing or inflammation, detected in conjunction with other characteristic features of lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital dysplasia syndrome. Computed tomography scan indicated that dacryocystoceles were bilateral and asymmetrical, with large dimensions at the right side and associated to a right side maxillary sinus mucocele. The right dacryocystocele was surgically removed, and the histology indicated characteristics of the lacrimal sac.

Purpose: To report a very rare case of silicone oil (SO) migration and emphysema development in the orbit and periorbital tissue, including the lids and subconjunctival space, after a fourth pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for retinal detachment (RD) treatment.

Observations: A 53-year-old woman with a recurrent rhegmatogenous RD in the right eye underwent a fourth PPV under local anesthesia and 23-gauge vitrectomy with fluid-air exchange and SO injection. Localized choroidal detachment occurred during fluid-air exchange near the end of the surgery.

Purpose: To study the demographics and clinical presentation of biopsied lacrimal gland lesions in a tertiary eye center and determine the accuracy of radiological imaging and blood investigations in reaching the diagnosis. We also studied the histopathological outcome of different lacrimal gland biopsy approaches.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of patients' charts from 2014 to 2021 who underwent lacrimal gland biopsy.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of orbital hydrogel expanders in the management of congenital anophthalmia.

Methods: In this retrospective one-armed cohort study, a chart review was performed of eight children with congenital anophthalmia who underwent orbital expansion using orbital hydrogel tissue expander from January 2006 to July 2018. Computed tomography (CT) of orbital parameters was evaluated before and after surgery.

Purpose: Invasive Fungal Sinusitis (IFS) is a potentially life-threatening condition that can progress rapidly to the orbit and the brain, especially if it goes on undetected for a long period. We report a case of a 28-year-old pregnant woman in her second trimester with sino-orbital and subsequent brain involvement who tragically developed deterioration of her neurological status and a spontaneous abortion.

Observations: The patient presented to the ophthalmology emergency department, King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, complaining of left upper eyelid fullness with a palpable eyelid mass and chronic relapsing remitting dull pain for 4 months.
