Introduction: Although COVID-19 is mainly a respiratory disease, recent evidence has emerged of vascular and procoagulant pathologies even in young and otherwise healthy individuals. Ophthalmic manifestations include, among others, visual impairment due to arteritic and venous retinal obstructions, which at times precedes other aspects of the disease. We present two atypical cases of internal carotid dissection (ICAD) and review the different ocular symptoms of ICAD and its association with the COVID-19 pandemic.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOptic tract lesions (OTL) are often difficult to diagnose. We suggest an algorithm to simplify the often-challenging diagnosis of OTL. Clinical and imaging data were retrospectively collected from the electronic files of 6 patients diagnosed with OTL at a tertiary medical center in 2016-2020.

- Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare condition characterized by high eosinophil levels that can damage various tissues, leading to serious complications like stroke in 12% of patients.
- The main treatment goal is to lower eosinophil counts and reduce their duration in tissues, often supported by the use of anticoagulants.
- A reported case illustrates that timely diagnosis and proper treatment can significantly minimize tissue damage and preserve functionality in patients suffering from HES.
The Management of Congenital Microphthalmia With Orbital Cyst: A Case Series.
J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus
May 2022
Purpose: To describe a series of patients treated for congenital microphthalmia associated with orbital cyst and recommend a management protocol.
Methods: This retrospective case series comprised 6 patients (7 eyes) who attended an oculoplastic tertiary medical center from 2001 to 2018. Clinical, treatment, and outcome data were collected from the electronic files.
Purpose: To determine whether Demodex infestation in blepharitic patients can be confirmed by slit-lamp examination without the need for light microscopy.
Methods: Demodex infestation was evaluated in 16 patients presenting with blepharitis and cylindrical dandruff at a single medical center from November 2014 to February 2015. Two lashes with cylindrical dandruff were epilated from each lid (8 per patient, total 128), mounted on slides, and examined in the clinic under a slit lamp equipped with a 90D condensing lens followed by light microscopy in the pathology laboratory.
