A case report on letrozole-related maculopathy.

Letrozole is an oral aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancers in postmenopausal women. It acts by inhibiting the conversion of androgens to estrogen thereby lowering the estrogen synthesis in the body. We report a case of bilateral cystoid macular edema (CME) in a postmenopausal woman on letrozole for breast cancer.

Acute postoperative infectious endophthalmitis caused by Gram-negative organisms.

Endophthalmitis is a rare but potentially sight-threatening ophthalmic condition characterized by marked inflammation of intraocular tissues and fluids. Bacteria is the most common cause of postoperative acute infectious endophthalmitis of which Gram-positive (GP) bacteria is the predominant isolate which constituted 47% of all positive vitreous cultures in endophthalmitis vitrectomy study. On the other hand, Gram-negative bacteria constituted 11.

Central Retinal Vein Occlusion in a Young Healthy COVID-19 Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been declared by the World Health Organization as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 predispose patients to multisystem thromboembolic events, including pulmonary emboli and deep vein thrombosis. We report a 33-year-old previously healthy man, with previous history of COVID-19 infection presented with left eye central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) with secondary macular edema.

Complications associated with the use of two types of silicone oil in vitreoretinal surgeries: A single tertiary center experience in Oman.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to describe complications associated with the use of two types of silicone oil (SO) (1000 centistokes [cs] and 5000 cs) in vitreoretinal surgery in Oman.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study on all patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgeries in which SO injection or removal was done. The study was conducted at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2017.

Sanjad Sakati syndrome and sleep-disordered breathing: an undisclosed association.

Background: Sanjad Sakati syndrome (SSS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutation in TBCE (tubulin folding cofactor E) gene. Reported cases were almost exclusively of Middle-Eastern and Arabian children of consanguineous parents. We report the clinical manifestations, outcome, and an observed new association of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) among children with Sanjad Sakati syndrome.

Spontaneously resolved severe retinopathy associated with aplastic anemia.

Aplastic anemia is a rare, usually autoimmune disorder of bone marrow stem cells leading to pancytopenia and hypoplastic marrow that presents with anemia, infection or bleeding which can be potentially sight and life-threatening. Patients with aplastic anemia may present with various ocular manifestations; lid and orbital hematoma, sub-conjunctival hemorrhage, sudden visual loss due to vitreous hemorrhage or retinopathy and optic disc edema. A young male patient had symptomatic sever bilateral hemorrhagic retinopathy secondary to aplastic anemia; succeeding systemic allogenic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation showed almost complete spontaneous resolution of the retinopathy and significant improvement in vision over a period of 16 weeks.

Endophthalmitis in Oman: A descriptive retrospective multi-center study.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to report the anatomical and functional outcome, microbiology profile and treatment used for endophthalmitis in Oman.

Design: The study design involves retrospective descriptive multicenter study.

Methods: Demographic and clinical data of patients diagnosed with endophthalmitis over a period of 9 years were collected in three tertiary hospitals in Oman.

Unusual case of endophthalmitis: Case report and literature review.

Endophthalmitis is an inflammation of both the anterior and posterior chamber. It is diagnosed clinically and involvement of retina and choroid has been documented. (1) Endophthalmitis is classified into infectious and no-infectious categories.

Normal electro-oculography in a young Omani male with genetically confirmed best disease complicated by choroidal neovascularization.

Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD) is an autosomal dominant macular dystrophy caused by heterozygous mutations in the bestrophin1 gene. Patients with this condition typically have an abnormal electrooculogram. We report a case of a 16-year-old male who presented with gradual progressive vision loss in the right eye.

Outcome of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair: Experience of a tertiary center in Oman.

Aim: To study the outcome of repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in a tertiary center.

Materials And Methods: Review of electronic medical records within a period of 29 months of consecutive patients who underwent surgical repair for RRD in Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH).

Results: We included 33 consecutive patients (36 eyes).

Bilateral Ocular Ischaemic Syndrome-Rare Complication of Rhinocerebral Mucormycosis in an Omani Patient: Case report and literature review.

Ocular ischaemic syndrome (OIS) is a relatively uncommon condition. Simultaneous bilateral involvement is even less common and has been reported in only 22% of all cases of OIS. It has variable clinical presentations, of which visual loss and ocular pain are the most common.

Restoration of vision after surgical removal of an intraocular needlefish jaw.

Purpose: To describe the case of a globe-penetrating intraocular needlefish injury.

Methods: Clinicopathologic case report.

Results: A 38-year-old man had a globe-penetrating injury while swimming without eye protection in the Caribbean Sea.
