In Vivo Confocal Microscopy Use in Endotheliitis.

Purpose: The use of in vivo confocal microscopy has been valuable in detecting and managing corneal pathology. This case study documents endotheliitis using in vivo confocal microscopy where apparent resolution of endothelial edema on clinical examination resulted in the discovery of subclinical findings with confocal scanning. The purpose of this case study was to discuss a rare corneal pathology and the clinical value of confocal scanning.

Raeder paratrigeminal neuralgia evolving to hemicrania continua.

Purpose: Raeder paratrigeminal neuralgia is most commonly characterized as deep, boring, nonpulsatile, severe, unilateral facial and head pain in the distribution of the V1 area combined with ipsilateral oculosympathetic palsy and autonomic symptoms. Raeder paratrigeminal neuralgia evolving into hemicrania continua, a rare primary, chronic headache syndrome characterized by unilateral pain and response to indomethacin, has rarely been documented. The purpose of this case report is to contribute to the medical literature a single case of Raeder paratrigeminal neuralgia presenting as multiple cranial nerve palsies that evolved into hemicrania continua that was successfully treated with onabotulinumtoxinA.
