Background: Alexia with agraphia usually represents damage in angular gyrus. We report an unusual case of alexia with agraphia caused by a posterior inferior temporal lesion.
Case Report: A 82-year-old, right-handed man was admitted because of reading disorder.
We describe pathological, ultrastructural, and spectrographic analyses of surgically resected cornea from a man with atypical corneal opacification, and discuss the corneal pathogenesis, and the utility of energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXA). The histopathologic features of a case presenting with longstanding bilateral corneal clouding are reported, which was difficult to be diagnosed clinically as calcific band keratopathy. The patient underwent keratoplasty on his right eye.

- A case of a 74-year-old woman with eye pain revealed a large movable bacterial mass on her ocular surface after previously undergoing eye surgeries.
- During examination, the mass was found to be a biofilm of bacteria, not a calcification as initially thought.
- The findings highlight that bacterial biofilms can form on the eye even in the absence of artificial materials.
