Peripheral retinal cysts in presumed ocular toxocariasis.

Typical clinical manifestations of ocular toxocariasis are central posterior granuloma, peripheral granuloma and chronic endophthalmitis. Herein we report the presence of peripheral subretinal cysts in two cases with a presumed ocular toxocariasis (OT).

Neuro-Ophthalmological Manifestations of Horner's Syndrome: Current Perspectives.

Horner's syndrome (HS) is caused by a damage to the oculosympathetic pathway. HS may be congenital, but it is usually acquired and may reveal a life-threatening condition. According to the anatomic location of the underlying pathologic process, HS is classified as central, pre- or postganglionic, when the lesion affects the first, second or third-order neuron, respectively.

Ocular Manifestations After Acute Methanol Poisoning.

Acute methanol poisoning is first and foremost life-threatening. Otherwise, functional prognosis is mainly based on ocular impairment. In this case series we aimed to describe the ocular manifestations after acute methanol poisoning during an outbreak in Tunisia.

Varicella zoster virus-associated non-necrotizing retinitis: case report.

Purpose: To describe clinical features and the course of a case of non-necrotizing herpetic retinitis secondary to Varicella zoster virus (VZV).

Materiel And Methods: A single case report documented with multimodal imaging.

Results: A 52-year-old female patient with a past medical history of diabetes mellitus who presented with painful red right eye (OD).

Surgical management of lifebuoy cataract.

Lifebuoy cataract is a rare form of congenital cataract with anatomical characteristics. Herein, we present a case of an otherwise healthy 42-year-old female with a long-standing history of blurred vision. Examination showed the presence of esotropia and bilateral horizontal nystagmus.

Posterior Microphthalmos Pigmentary Retinopathy Syndrome with Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A Case Report.

Purpose: To describe a particular form of posterior microphthalmos pigmentary retinopathy syndrome (PMPRS) with an atypical clinical presentation of pigment retinal dystrophy and an association to an inconstant complication which is angle-closure glaucoma (ACG).

Methods: A 40-year-old male patient with ACG on maximal topical treatment was referred to our department for uncontrolled intraocular pressure. Best-corrected visual acuity was 2/10 in the right eye and light perception in the left eye.

A novel variant associated with severe diabetic retinopathy in Wolfram syndrome type 1.

Background: Wolfram syndrome type 1 is a rare neurodegenerative disorder including diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness, with variable additional findings. The phenotypic spectrum is very heterogeneous, with non-autoimmune juvenile-onset diabetes and optic atrophy as minimal criteria for the diagnosis. Biallelic mutations in the gene are the causative genetic anomaly for the syndrome, with, however, no evident genotype-phenotype correlation.

Acute Painful Horner's Syndrome Revealing Eagle's Syndrome: A Report of Two Cases.

Eagle's syndrome (ES) is characterised by an abnormally elongated styloid process. It remains a complex pathology and the ophthalmological symptoms are relatively rare. Herein, we report two cases who presented to our clinic with unilateral and painful Horner's syndrome.

Quantitative Analysis of Microvascular Network with Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography and its Correlation with Visual Acuity in Retinal Vein Occlusion.

Purpose: To analyze the macular microvascular network and the correlations between visual acuity and quantitative parameters using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in eyes with retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Methods: We conducted a prospective cross-sectional study including patients with unilateral RVO. We performed 4.

Epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of Behçet's disease: a monocentric study in Tunisia.

Introduction: to describe the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolving characteristics of Behçet´s disease and identify prognostic factors.
