Purpose: Idiopathic elevated episcleral venous pressure (IEEVP) or Radius-Maumenee syndrome (RMS) is a rare disease without any identified underlying cause. An increasing episcleral venous pressure (EVP) leads to raised intraocular pressure (IOP) and consequently glaucomatous damage of the optic nerve. The objective of this paper is to report this rare condition as well as its clinical management.

- Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare disorder characterized by facial paralysis, facial swelling, and fissured tongue, with no known causes.
- The case study discusses a 59-year-old woman experiencing asymmetric eyelid swelling, which was diagnosed as the monosymptomatic form of MRS after a skin biopsy.
- Treatment involved multiple triamcinolone injections, but after a year of improvement, the swelling recurred, leading to the use of Tacrolimus ointment, which significantly reduced the eyelid edema.

Article Synopsis
- Sporotrichosis is a widespread fungal infection often seen in a lymphocutaneous form, and when it affects the eye, it typically involves conjunctival and surrounding tissues.
- A case study is presented involving a 13-year-old girl with nodules near her left eye that developed over the past month.
- In Brazil, where sporotrichosis is hyperendemic, diagnosis relies on clinical signs, patient history, and lab culture; medical professionals need to recognize this condition.
