Quiescent caterpillar hair: A rare cause of localised lenticular opacity formation.

Purpose: To report a rare case of a 65 year old patient with a single caterpillar hair with localised lenticular opacity around it and no active inflammation.

Observations: A single quiescent caterpillar hair embedded in the anterior lens capsule causing localised cataract around it. There was no other sign of ocular toxicosis and the patient was unaware of the presence of this intraocular foreign body.

Acquired myopia followed by acquired hyperopia due to serous neurosensory retinal detachment following topiramate intake.

Purpose:: To report a patient with fluctuating refraction following the use of oral topiramate.

Case Report:: A 38-year-old male patient was diagnosed elsewhere with sudden-onset-acquired myopia, high intraocular pressure, and bilateral angle closure glaucoma for which he underwent laser peripheral iridotomy in both eyes and was started on topical antiglaucoma medications and topical steroids following laser peripheral iridotomy. He was referred for ultrasound biomicroscopy, which showed bilateral ciliary effusion.

Isolated Subclavian Artery Thrombosis.

We presume this case to highlight the importance of underestimated percutaneous angioplasty with stent in isolated subclavian artery thrombosis.

Bilateral hip pain in a young man? It may be worth considering juvenile-onset ankylosing spondylitis (JAS).

A 15-year-old boy with severe bilateral hip joint pain and restriction of mobility presented to the casualty ward. He had earlier been treated for tuberculosis of the hip, with no relief. Our work up revealed a case of severe juvenile-onset ankylosing spondylitis with predominant hip involvement and accompanying sacroiliitis.
