Ocular Involvement in Infantile Cystinosis: A Case Report.

Infantile cystinosis is a rare systemic hereditary disorder characterized by abnormal cystine accumulation in cells, leading to various complications. Ophthalmological involvement is one of the major complications of this condition and significantly impacts visual prognosis. We report the case of a five-year-old male patient who was followed up for growth retardation, rickets, and refractory metabolic acidosis and was referred to ophthalmology for severe photophobia.

Mass Screening for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: Is It Really Relevant?

Glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, poses a significant public health challenge. Despite advancements in diagnostic technologies, early detection remains a challenge. This study assesses the relevance of glaucoma screening in a population-based context.

The immune checkpoint VISTA is associated with prognosis in patients with malignant uveal melanoma.

Introduction: Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare yet deadly tumor. It is known for its high metastatic potential, which makes it one of the most aggressive and lethal cancers. Recently, immune checkpoints such as Programmed cell Death protein-1 (PD1) and Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated significantly increasing patient survival in multiple human cancers, especially cutaneous melanoma.

[Pseudotumoral ocular tuberculosis: about 2 cases].

Ocular manifestations of tuberculosis are non-specific and polymorphic as they can affect all the tunics of the eye and cause severe visual loss in the absence of early and appropriate treatment. We here report 2 casesof pseudotumoral ocular tuberculosis with favorable outcome under antibacillary treatment; the first patient recently had had spontaneous burst of the eyeball with exit of a burgeoning fleshy and suppurative mass measuring 10cm/6cm, the second patient had granuloma of the ciliary body mimicking melanoma; then we here discuss the clinical and therapeutic particularities of this disease.

[Epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary profile of ocular manifestations in patients with Behçet's disease].

This study aims to analyze the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary profile of ocular manifestations in patients with Behçet's disease. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study of the medical records of 121 patients managed by specialists with expertise in this disease over a period of one year and a half between January 2015 and June 2016. The average age of patients was 35 years, 63.
