Choroidal and optic disk metastases of a laryngeal carcinoma.

Purpose: To report a case of laryngeal squamous carcinoma metastatic to the eye affecting the choroid and optic nerve.

Methods: A 58-year-old man complained of sudden decrease of visual acuity in his left eye on admission to the emergency room. One year previously, he had undergone a surgical removal of laryngeal carcinoma.

Ability of different optical imaging devices to discriminate between healthy and glaucomatous eyes.

We compared the ability to discriminate between healthy and glaucomatous eyes of three optical imaging devices in 140 eyes from 140 subjects. No statistically significant differences were found among the AUCs of these parameters. However, AUCs were significantly higher in OCT and HRT parameters than most of GDx VCC ones.

Diagnostic ability of different tools for detection of glaucoma with confocal scanning laser tomography (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II).

We evaluated the diagnostic ability of various diagnostic tools to detect glaucomatous damage in 101 normal eyes and 102 glaucomatous eyes. Mikelberg's linear discriminant function (LDF) obtained the best sensitivity followed by our own four formulas. With respect to specificity, Burk's LDF showed better results than Mikelberg's LDF and our formulae.
