Unilateral Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis Revealing Behçet's Disease: Through the Eyes of the Ophthalmologist.

Behçet's disease (BD) is a rare autoimmune disease with an unknown aetiology. It is mostly found in the ancient "silk route" (from the Mediterranean region to the Far East). BD is a vasculitis that can involve veins and arteries of all sizes.

Study of variation glycated haemoglobin in diabetic patients using PCA method. Case study: Moroccan eastern region.

In collaboration with the regional centre of diabetes and chronic diseases, we will present in this work, the variability of glycated haemoglobin of 200 diabetic patients, in the eastern region of Morocco. This work is the analysis of the values of glycated haemoglobin in the three quarters of the study in 2021, which are presented by variable quantitative values with the statistical method principal component analysis PCA. This study also includes an analysis of socio-demographic parameters, which are analysed by the multiple correspondence analysis MCA method.

Scleritis Following Pterygium Excision: Infection, Autoimmunity, or Both?

The term scleritis refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by a chronic inflammatory response centered on the sclera and often involving adjacent structures such as the episclera, cornea, and uvea. It is an uncommon but severe, painful, and potentially blinding ocular disease and may occasionally result in perforation of the globe. Through a case report of severe scleritis that occurred after pterygium surgery, the authors expose diagnostic difficulties and emphasize the need for a meticulous diagnostic approach in such a condition.

Subacute Blindness Revealing an Autoimmune Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Astrocytopathy.

Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by positive GFAP autoantibody. The most common are encephalitis, meningoencephalitis or meningoencephalomyelitis. Antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) against GFAP are biomarkers and expressed in most cases with autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy.

Acute Blindness as a Complication of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2.

Several neurological manifestations can occur in the acute phase or in post-infection severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In certain cases, they can even reveal the disease. Although some may be consequences of direct cellular viral invasion, many represent post-infectious inflammation mediated by autoimmune mechanisms.

[Corneal endothelial evaluation of diabetic patients after phacoemulsification].

Purpose: To determine whether phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation has a greater impact on the corneal endothelium of type 2 diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients.

Materials And Methods: This study compared the endothelial status in 32 diabetics with good glycemic control and 32 non-diabetic patients before and after uneventful phacoemulsification. Central corneal thickness (CCT), central corneal endothelial cell density (CD), hexagonal cell percentage (HEX), and percent coefficient of variation (% CV) were measured using a specular microscope.

Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum: a case report.

Ankyloblepharon is defined by partial or complete adhesion of the ciliary edges of superior and inferior eyelids. It is usually a sporadic isolated malformation in which the upper and lower lids are joined by tags. Although it is an uncommon and benign condition, its presence should alert the clinician to the possibility of other important disorders.
