Diagnosis of optic nerve head drusen using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence Tomography (EDI-OCT) in differentiating between optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) and optic disc oedema (ODE).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 140 patients: 83 patients with ONHD (49 hidden and 34 visible), 20 patients with pseudopapilloedema (without drusen), and 37 patients with ODE. EDI-OCT of the optic nerve was performed, selecting one high-resolution line from the HD 5-line raster protocol.

Supratrochlear Neuralgia: A Prospective Case Series of 15 Patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe clinical features unique to supratrochlear neuralgia.

Background: The supratrochlear nerve supplies the medial aspect of the forehead. Due to the intricate relationship between supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves, neuralgic pain in this region has been traditionally attributed to supraorbital neuralgia.

Using autofluorescence to detect optic nerve head drusen in children.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of using autofluorescence to identify optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) in children.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive study of subjects <18 years of age with possible pseudopapilledema due to ONHD. B-scan ultrasonography was considered the gold standard diagnostic technique.

Sensitivity and specificity of monochromatic photography of the ocular fundus in differentiating optic nerve head drusen and optic disc oedema: optic disc drusen and oedema.

Background: Evaluation of the efficacy of monochromatic photography of the ocular fundus in differentiating optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) and optic disc oedema (ODE).

Methods: Sixty-six patients with ONHD, 31 patients with ODE and 70 healthy subjects were studied. Colour and monochromatic fundus photography with different filters (green, red and autofluorescence) were performed.

Intraocular gas treatment for myopic foveoschisis.

Purpose: To report a case of symptomatic myopic retinoschisis with foveolar detachment and lamellar macular hole, treated with expansible gas.

Methods: Interventional case report. A myopic patient presented with a history of decreased vision and metamorphopsia in his right eye.

Diplopia after cataract surgery: comparative results after topical or regional injection anesthesia.

Objective: To compare the incidence of diplopia after topical or regional injection anesthesia in cataract surgery.

Study Design: Retrospective, noncomparative interventional case series.

Participants And Methods: Three thousand five hundred forty-two consecutive cataract surgeries, performed from March 1998 to December 2001, were studied.

Trochleitis and migraine headache.

Idiopathic trochleitis is a cause of superimposed ocular pain in patients with migraine. Trochleitis usually presents as an orbital pain without obvious ocular signs. Like greater occipital neuralgia, trochleitis may sustain or trigger the pain of chronic migraine.
