Punctal Plug as a Treatment Option for Dry Eye Associated with Congenital Supernumary Puncta.

This study aims to describe a case of double lower lacrimal punctum-canaliculi in a dry eye patient treated with a punctal plug. A 60-year-old healthy female presented with complaints of tearing, itchy eyes, and foreign body sensation in the right eye for many years. There was no history of trauma or inflammation.

Characteristics and management of congenital anophthalmos and microphthalmos at a tertiary eye hospital.

: The purpose of the study is to evaluate demographic data and outcomes of the management of congenital anophthalmia/microphthalmia. : This retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study evaluated patients with congenital anophthalmia/microphthalmia managed from 2004 to 2014 at a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected on patient age, gender, cause, orbital status, laterality, systemic comorbidities, ocular evaluation, and management (type of surgery, type of orbital implant, and complications).

Characterization of diffuse orbital mass using Apparent diffusion coefficient in 3-tesla MRI.

Purpose: To evaluate if the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) improves the diagnostic accuracy of diffuse orbital masses.

Materials And Methods: ADC DW-MRI was used to evaluate cases of diffuse orbital masses at our institution from 2000 to 2015. Lesions were grouped according to histopathologic diagnosis as, benign, pre-malignant and malignant.

Chronic Inflammation in an Anophthalmic Socket due to a Room Temperature Vulcanized Silicone Implant.

Two case reports are used to illustrate the signs and symptoms, complications and treatments of chronic socket inflammation due to intraorbital implants. The ophthalmic examination, surgeries and treatments are documented. Two anophthalmic cases that underwent enucleation and multiple orbital surgeries to enhance the anophthalmic socket volume developed pain, intense discharge and contracted cavities with chronic inflammation in the socket which was nonresponsive to medical therapy.
