Evaluation of the Cornea by Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Diseases of the Cornea.

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine any new findings provided by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in different corneal diseases diagnosed by slit lamp examination (SLE).

Methods: This cross-sectional, observational, hospital-based study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Western Maharashtra from September 2022 to June 2024, and it included 93 eyes of 93 patients with isolated corneal diseases. A detailed SLE of the anterior segment was done to assess corneal pathology, corneal thickness, corneal structural integrity, presence of corneal opacities, corneal vascularization, presence of other abnormalities like corneal degeneration, corneal foreign bodies, Kayser-Fleischer (KF) ring, ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).

Conjunctival Intraepithelial Neoplasia Mimicking a Pigmentary Lesion in an HIV-Seropositive Indian Male.

We present the case of a 27-year-old male who presented to our ophthalmology outpatient clinic with a pigmented lesion on the conjunctiva of his right eye. There was no history of ocular trauma or familial ocular complaints, and a thorough evaluation revealed the patient's seropositive status for HIV for the past eight years. The presentation resembled a conjunctival pigmentary lesion, with typical features of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) being absent and a demographic incongruent with typical OSSN cases as OSSN typically affects the elderly population.

Morning Glory Anomaly With Serous Macular Detachment.

The morning glory (MG) disc anomaly is a congenital excavation of the posterior globe involving the optic disc, with a distinct appearance reminiscent of the MG flower. Various intracranial and ocular associations with MG have been documented. Conditions such as trans-sphenoidal encephalocele and hypoplasia of the intracranial vasculature have been observed in association with this anomaly.

Radiologic Imaging in Third Nerve Palsy: A Case Series Investigating Etiology, Patterns, and Clinical Implications.

Third nerve palsy (TNP) is a neurologic condition characterized by dysfunction of the oculomotor nerve, leading to various ocular manifestations. Optic nerve evaluation is of utmost important among all cranial nerve palsies affecting the eye. Dysfunction of the third nerve can indicate an underlying neurologic emergency, such as cavernous arteriovenous fistula or giant cell arteritis.
