COVID-19 had been reported to be associated with neuro-ophthalmic complications. However, there is a shortage of evidence regarding internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) presentation after COVID-19 infection with related brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein, we report a case of INO in a 69-year-old woman with presentation of diplopia following COVID-19 infection, along with her neuroimaging.

We report the choroidal and ciliary body invasion by retinoblastoma (RB) in a salvaged eye after complete and successful primary treatment. Case 1: A 25-month-old boy was referred due to group B RB lesions based on the International Classification of RB (ICRB; groups A-E) in the right eye (OD). His left eye (OS) was enucleated because of advanced group E RB.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of intravitreal carboplatin plus melphalan for the treatment of vitreous seeds in eyes with retinoblastoma (RB).

Methods: This retrospective series at a tertiary referral center included 22 consecutive RB patients who had received intravitreal carboplatin (16 μg per 0.05 ml) combined with melphalan (30 μg in 0.

: To evaluate alterations in orbital color Doppler imaging (CDI) parameters and their correlation to disease activity and severity in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). : Seventy-six orbits of 45 TED patients and 40 orbits of 40 normal controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. According to clinical activity score (CAS), patients were categorized to active (CAS ≥ 3) or inactive disease (CAS < 3).

Clarifying the complex interaction between mechanical and biological processes in healthy and diseased conditions requires constitutive models for arterial walls. In this study, a mathematical model for the displacement of the carotid artery wall in the longitudinal direction is defined providing a satisfactory representation of the axial stress applied to the arterial wall. The proposed model was applied to the carotid artery wall motion estimated from ultrasound image sequences of 10 healthy adults, and the axial stress waveform exerted on the artery wall was extracted.

Introduction: Chronic nasal obstruction due to adenoid hypertrophy is a very common disorder. Although the clinical assessment of adenoid hypertrophy is essential, its real value in young children is difficult to evaluate. The purpose of this prospective study was to validate a simple clinical score to predict the severity of adenoid obstruction and to evaluate the relationship between this method of clinical scoring with radiography and nasopharyngeal endoscopy.
