Attitudes of ophthalmologists towards pharmaceutical promotion.

Introduction: The interaction between physicians and pharmaceutical industry highlighted many issues lately concerning their influence on physician's attitude and their prescribing behavior.

Aim: To evaluate the attitudes of Tunisian ophthalmologist towards pharmaceutical promotion.

Methods: Data was collected through an auto-administered anonymous questionnaire elaborated in French that was distributed to 160 ophthalmologists (residents and specialists) working in hospitals or private practices in four Tunisian governorates (Tunis, Sousse, Monastir and Sfax).

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.

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.

Methods: we have realized a retrospective, single-center study, conducted over a period of 26 years and including 130 patients presenting Behçet´s disease and hospitalized in an Internal Medicine Department.

Results: the mean age of the Behçet´s disease at onset was 30.

Swept Source OCT in monitoring uveal effusion after trabeculectomy in a nanophtalmic eye.

Uveal effusion syndrome describes serous detachments of the choroid and ciliary body with exudative retinal detachment. It is a complication following glaucoma filtering surgeries such as trabeculectomy especially in nanophthalmic eyes. We report a rare case of a 42-year-old-woman, with nanophtalmos, who developed posterior serous retinal detachment and uveal effusions after trabeculectomy for chronic angle closure glaucoma.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome: A case report.

Purpose: Since its first description by Chang et al. in 1995, the diagnosis of Idiopathic retinal vasculitis, aneurysms and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) syndrome has been based on the findings of Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA). Our purpose was to describe the utility of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in its diagnosis and management.
