Purpose: To study the clinical profile and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in patients of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (CA-ROCM) with orbital involvement and perform a clinicoradiological correlation.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed at a tertiary care center in north India from May 2021 to June 2021. Consecutive patients with clinical, nasal endoscopic, and/or microbiological evidence of CA-ROCM underwent MRI of paranasal sinuses, orbit, and brain as per the study protocol.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) in India, examining patient demographics, risk factors, symptoms, and management outcomes during the pandemic's second wave.
  • Key findings revealed that 78% of patients had diabetes and a majority required oxygen support; most cases showed ROCM symptoms within 10-15 days post-COVID diagnosis.
  • Final outcomes indicated a 14% mortality rate, significantly reduced through surgical interventions, highlighting the role of corticosteroids and diabetes as major contributors to ROCM development.

Management of large corneal-epibulbar dermoids always poses a challenge to the surgeons due to deeper corneal involvement. Also, there is a risk of limbal stem cell deficiency and formation of pseudopterygium with larger areas of limbal involvement. We report a novel surgical technique for the management of giant corneal-epibulbar dermoid with pre-descemetic deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and simple limbal epithelial transfer (SLET).

Purpose: To clinically validate a new automated glaucoma diagnosis software RIA-G.

Methods: A double-blinded study was conducted where 229 valid random fundus images were evaluated independently by RIA-G and three expert ophthalmologists. Optic nerve head parameters [vertical and horizontal cup-disc ratio (CDR) and neuroretinal rim (NRR) changes] were quantified.

Orbital lymphangiomas are isolated, benign vascular malformations of childhood. We report a case of orbital lymphangioma with acute intralesional hemorrhage in a 4-year-old boy that was associated with ipsilateral persistent fetal vasculature and extraorbital vascular malformations. Complete resolution of orbital lesion was achieved with chocolate cyst aspiration and intralesional injection of bleomycin.

Avulsion of the optic nerve head is a rare and severe complication of ocular blunt trauma. Herein, we describe a case of 16-year-old boy, who presented with a rare combination of optic nerve avulsion associated with central retinal artery occlusion, following blunt trauma with a leather ball. This report highlights the potential blinding complication following rotational injury.
