Article Synopsis
- Orbital metastasis can occur in small cell lung cancer, and this case highlights a rare bilateral invasion of the extraocular muscles in a 46-year-old male patient.* -
- The patient experienced vision loss and pain due to compression of the optic nerve, which was addressed through a lateral canthotomy that provided some visual improvement.* -
- Despite ongoing palliative treatment, including chemotherapy and surgical interventions, the patient ultimately passed away 5 months later, illustrating the difficulties in managing such rare complications.*
Background: Diabetic macular edema is the main cause of vision loss in patients with diabetic retinopathy. In this work, we aimed to assess the role of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) biomarkers in patients treated with ranibizumab.
Methods: A prospective study enrolling 46 eyes with DME under ranibizumab intravitreal therapy with 12 months of follow-up.
