LEUKEMIC OPTIC NERVE INFILTRATION IN A PATIENT WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA.

Purpose: To describe the clinical presentation and imaging features of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that was complicated by optic nerve leukemic infiltration.

Methods: A 36-year-old man with history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia on treatment presented with decreased vision and optic nerve leukemic infiltrates.

Results: At presentation, ocular examination revealed decreased visual acuity at hand movement close to face in his right eye and 20/120 in his left eye.

Morphometric analysis of fovea with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and visual outcome postsurgery for retinal detachment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to correlate the postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings in fovea involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery.

Materials And Methods: Thirty eyes with preoperative fovea-involving RRD, who underwent scleral buckling (SB) (6 eyes) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (19 eyes) and combined SB and PPV (5 eyes) were recruited. Patients underwent clinical examination and SD-OCT scan of fovea preoperatively and at 30 days and 90 days postoperatively.

A rare case of bilateral optic nerve sheath meningioma.

A 60-year-old female presented with gradual, painless, progressive diminution of vision, and progressive proptosis of left eye since 7 years. Ophthalmological examination revealed mild proptosis and total optic atrophy in the left eye. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) brain with orbit showed bilateral optic nerve sheath meningioma (ONSM) involving the intracranial, intracanalicular, intraorbital part of the optic nerve extending up to optic chiasma and left cavernous sinus.

Flail Aortic Valve in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Diagnosis by Transesophageal Echocardiography.

This case report describes a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who demonstrated by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) a flail right coronary cusp of the aortic valve causing severe aortic regurgitation. This finding was confirmed at surgery, which showed near detachment of the right coronary leaflet near the commissure. Destruction of areas of the aortic valve has been reported in one previous case report in the absence of infective endocarditis or a traumatic process.
