Evaluation of nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell complex changes in patients with migraine using optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To analyze changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness in migraine patients with and without aura compared to healthy controls and to identify factors influencing the occurrence of these anomalies.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional case-control study including migraine patients and control subjects. All patients and controls underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, RNFL and GCC thickness measurements using a spectral domain-OCT device.

Evaluation of retinal perfusion density and foveal avascular zone in migraine subjects with and without aura.

Migraine, classified as a neurovascular disease, has been identified as a potential risk factor for ocular vascular complications. Our study aimed to compare retinal vessel density and perfusion density between subjects with migraine and healthy subjects using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In this cross-sectional case-control study, we enrolled 30 migraine subjects with aura (MWA), 30 migraine subjects without aura (MWOA) and 30 age and gender-matched healthy controls (HC).

Preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain associated with cataract surgery under local anesthesia.

Introduction: Although cataract surgery is a routine outpatient surgery, anxiety and pain remain two significant concerns seen in patients.

Aim: To describe preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain related to cataract surgery under local anesthesia and identify the factors determining their occurrence.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical, study which included patients who underwent cataract surgery for the first eye in the ophthalmology department of Habib Bourguiba University Hospital in Sfax-Tunisia.

A rare ocular manifestation of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.

Introduction: Ocular manifestations of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae infection are rare. We present a case of Mycoplasma Pneumoniae infection revealed by a recurrent retro-bulbar optic neuritis.

Case Description: A 38-year-old woman, initially treated for a typical retro-bulbar optic neuritis of the right eye with corticosteroid therapy at high doses, presented for a recurrent decreased vision in the same eye, associated with blepharospasm and conjunctival hyperemia.

Clinical and therapeutic characteristics of childhood uveitis in a tertiary center in Tunisia.

Introduction: Childhood uveitis is a rare condition with various associated diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Aim: We proposed to describe the distribution, clinical findings, treatment, complications, and visual outcomes of uveitis in children at a tertiary referral center in Sfax, Tunisia.

Methods: A retrospective study of 33 children (54 eyes) with uveitis collected over the period from January 2009 to December 2018 was carried out at the Ophthalmology Department of Habib Bourguiba University Hospital, Sfax, Tunisia.

Orbital inflammatory pseudotumor revealing multi-organ immunoglobulin G4-related disease.

Relatively recently, the concept that immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a distinct chronic inflammatory disorder rather than a subset of Sjögren's syndrome has been accepted. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibro-inflammatory systemic immune-mediated condition that can affect the pancreas, salivary glands, and lymph nodes. Almost every organ may be impacted synchronously or metachronously by this illness, which causes the development of sclerotic masses of varying sizes.
