Ophthalmological manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease under the watchful eye of a gastroenterologist from a tertiary centre.

Introduction: Ophthalmological manifestations (O-EIM) are one of the extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although their frequency and potential relationship with disease activity and treatment remain underestimated.

Aim: The aim of this screening questionnaire was to assess the number of EIM, including O-EIM, among patients with IBD.

Material And Methods: 436 patients with IBD and 102 patients without IBD were included in this single-centre retrospective study.

The Feasibility of Surface Electromyography in Monitoring Orbicularis Oculi Recovery after Anterior Approach Levator Aponeurosis Advancement.

Introduction: In this article, we propose a new application for eyelid surface electromyography (sEMG). By placing the electrode in the mid-pretarsal area of the upper eyelid, one can easily perform a fast examination and achieve repeatable results. We believe that this technique may increase the feasibility of eyelid sEMG in clinical practice.

[Unilateral optic disc oedema as a first sign of ocular toxoplasmosis – case report].

Diagnostic procedure for unilateral optic disc oedema needs detailed medical history, careful physical examination and multiple additional tests. We present a very rare case of atypical unilateral anterior optic neuropathy as a sign of ocular toxoplasmosis in a young female. All diagnostic and therapeutic challenges have been discussed.

[Micropulse 577 nm laser trabeculoplasty--a prospective pilot study].

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of micropulse 577 nm laser trabeculoplasty.

Material And Methods: Prospective clinical trial designed for 30 patients diagnosed with open angle glaucoma. The micropulse 577 nm laser trabeculoplasty was performed in one eye of each patient in the lower half of trabecular meshwork.

Itraorbital organic foreign body - radiological methods in diagnosis - case report.

Intraorbital foreign bodies, especially non-metallic ones, remain an important diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Organic foreign bodies contain large quantities of bacterial flora contributing to rapid onset of inflammation which may promptly damage the optic nerve. Further progression of inflammation may involve the structures of central nervous system.
