Hyperactivity of the medial thalamus in patients with photophobia-associated migraine.

Objective: To examine cerebral functional alterations associated with sensory processing in patients with migraine and constant photophobia.

Background: Migraine is a common headache disorder that presents with photophobia in many patients during attacks. Furthermore, some patients with migraine experience constant photophobia, even during headache-free intervals, leading to a compromised quality of life.

Evaluation of Steroid Pulse Therapy Responsiveness in Myelin-Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Positive Optic Neuritis.

Purpose: Myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-positive optic neuritis (MOGON) is usually responsive to the steroid, but, for some patients, steroid pulse therapy alone may be inadequate. This study aimed to investigate the factors predicting the response to steroid pulse therapy in MOGON.

Methods: This study included 17 patients (24 eyes) with MOGON, who received single steroid pulse therapy as initial treatment.

A Japanese Case of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy with the m.13051G>A Pathogenic Variant.

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is one of the hereditary optic neuropathies and is principally caused by three frequent mitochondria deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) pathogenic variants (m.11778 G>A, m.3460 G>A, and m.

A Case of Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus With Multiple Delayed Ocular Complications.

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) presents a variety of ocular complications, most of which occur simultaneously as skin lesions. We report a case of HZO with delayed onset of multiple ocular complications. A 72-year-old man developed HZO, blepharitis, iritis, and conjunctivitis in the left eye, which resolved after topical ocular treatment and systemic acyclovir administration.
