Recurrence rates of periocular basal cell carcinoma following intra-operative en-face frozen section margin controlled excision.

Purpose: To report the margin control process and rate of recurrence of periocular basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) managed by en-face, frozen section margin controlled (FSC), excision by a single surgeon with a 3-year follow-up.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of all histopathologically proven cases of periocular BCC who underwent surgical excision with intra-operative, en-face, FSC, excision by a single surgeon from 2015 to 2019 was performed. Patients with less than 3-year follow-up were offered a virtual appointment to determine possible recurrence.

Surgery for idiopathic full-thickness macular holes within four months of symptom onset yields superior visual outcomes: Results from an Irish patient cohort.

Purpose: To describe the anatomical, visual, and safety results of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) repair surgery and determine factors influencing outcomes.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients who underwent primary FTMH repair surgery by a single surgeon over a 3-year period. For comparisons, Snellen visual acuity (VA) was converted to logMAR equivalent.

Early vitrectomy is indicated for both diffuse and dense vitreous haemorrhages of unknown aetiology.

Background: Early vitrectomy for complete fundus-obscuring vitreous haemorrhage (VH) allows for prompt diagnosis and treatment of the cause.

Aims: To analyse the causes of VH of unknown aetiology, whether partially fundus-obscuring or dense, and to determine the outcomes of early vitrectomy.

Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent early vitrectomy within 10 days of symptom-onset for partially fundus-obscuring or dense VH of unknown origin.

Tectonic Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty for corneal perforation.

We report the use of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) for the treatment of sterile corneal perforation after trauma. In an eye with corneal perforation and cataract due to trauma, cataract surgery and DSAEK were performed. Corneal integrity was promptly restored and the patient avoided tectonic anterior lamellar and penetrating keratoplasty.

Ophthalmic manifestations of species complex: a case series and review of the literature.

Aim: To report 4 cases of () species complex infection with diverse ophthalmic manifestations, and to review the literature to examine pathobiology of disease, classical ophthalmic presentations and outcomes, and treatment modalities for this emerging pathogen.

Methods: Cases of meningoencephalitis with ophthalmic manifestations were identified chart review at two institutions in Australia and one institution in the mid-west region of the United States and are reported as a case series. Additionally, a MEDLINE literature review was conducted to identify all reported cases of with ophthalmic manifestations from 1990-2020.

Bilateral periorbital necrotising fasciitis associated with invasive group: a infection.

A previously independent 56-year-old immunocompetent woman presented with septic shock in the setting of periorbital swelling and diffuse infiltrates on chest imaging. Blood cultures were positive for growth of group A (GAS). Broad spectrum antimicrobials were initiated with the inclusion of the antitoxin agent clindamycin.
