Purpose: To report a case of delayed fungal endophthalmitis by Paecilomyces variotii following uncomplicated cataract surgery. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of postoperative endophthalmitis by this species.
Methods: We report the longterm clinical follow-up of an 83-year-old female who underwent uncomplicated sutureless, small-incision cataract surgery.
Background: Disabling, chronic, persistent keratoconjunctivitis is an essential ocular manifestation in autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED).
Purpose: Because of the paucity of previous studies our aim is to describe the main histopathological features of the keratopathy and to report the long-term outcome of corneal grafting.
Material: Four corneal buttons obtained at keratoplasties.
Purpose: To report the outcome of chronic bilateral keratitis and other ocular manifestations in autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED).
Material And Methods: The material consists of 69 patients with APECED, who were examined by the senior author as referrals from the pediatricians. The patients were seen at the Helsinki University Eye Hospital a total of 370 times and the follow-up periods range from 2 to 25 years.
Purpose: The clinical and histopathologic findings of an intraocularly located congenital teratoma are reported.
Methods: In addition to routine histologic stainings, the tissue types present and the fate of the neuroectodermal elements of the disorganized eye were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.
Results: An otherwise healthy baby girl was born with a large greenish mass replacing the left eye without invading the orbit.
