Intracerebral Hemorrhage Manifesting as Optic Aphasia: A Case Report.

Optic aphasia is a rare neurological disorder that affects the visual-semantic ability of patients with normal vision and is caused by a lesion in the left occipital lobe. The signs and symptoms of optic aphasia are similar to those of associative visual agnosia, where patients have difficulty recognizing objects both in shape and function, resulting in challenges performing daily tasks. The transformation to optic aphasia or associative visual agnosia is closely related to the degree of damage to the corpus callosum, with some studies hypothetically suggesting that complete damage to the corpus callosum leads to optic aphasia, whereas incomplete damage causes associative visual agnosia.

A Systematic Review of Cyclophotocoagulation Techniques: Continuous Wave Versus Micropulse for Glaucoma Treatment.

Objectives: Micro-pulse cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) represents the latest iteration of minimally invasive laser procedures aimed at reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) through the disruption of pigmented ciliary body epithelium. This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy and safety profile of the MP-CPC procedure in comparison to CW-CPC for the treatment of glaucoma.

Methods: We initiated a search on PubMed, ScienceDirect, and the Cochrane Library databases for studies that compared micro-pulse and traditional CW-CPC in terms of their efficacy and safety profiles.
