Double trouble: orbital rhabdomyoma with trichinellosis.

Rhabdomyoma of the orbit is a rare tumor with very few cases reported in the literature. We herein describe a 5-year-old boy who presented to us with a deviation of his left eye. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a well-defined homogeneous intraconal mass in the superomedial aspect compressing the optic nerve.

Bilateral optic neuritis with spine demyelination associated with influenza A H1N1 infection.

Purpose: To report a rare case of optic neuritis with spine demyelination following H1N1 virus infection.

Observation: A 66-year-old female presented with decreased vision in both eyes (left > right) following a recent episode of fever and flu. She was diagnosed as H1N1 infection confirmed by viral antigen analysis of throat swab.

Intraocular Pressure in the Eyes of Patients With Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas: Profile, Intereye Asymmetry, and Treatment Outcomes.

Precis: Secondary ocular hypertension (OHT) is common in carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs). Management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is possible with a multidisciplinary approach. The ipsilateral normal eyes may have higher IOP than the contralateral eyes.

Diagnosis in a case total ophthalmoplegia - where time is life.

Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis is a potentially fatal fungal infection seen in poorly controlled diabetics or immunocompromised patients who can present initially to an ophthalmologist, otorhinolaryngologist or a neurologist. The clinical presentation to an ophthalmologist may be that of painful ophthalmoplegia.The confirmation and further management of the infection requires an interdisciplinary approach.

A Time Bomb Defused, In Time! A Traumatic Optic Neuropathy To Be Wary Of.

Authors describe a case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of cavernous internal carotid artery in a young male who presented with complaints of progressive decrease in vision, inability to move the eye, and delayed epistaxis 8 months after the head injury sustained during a motor vehicle accident. The presence of optic atrophy and epistaxis in the setting of head trauma alerted the authors to look for this potentially life-threatening condition. Timely intervention in the form of endovascular coil occlusion of the internal carotid artery was performed and the epistaxis stopped without any ischaemic or thromboembolic sequaelae.

A Tale of Absent Crystalline Lens in an Eye with Retinoblastoma.

Purpose: To report the clinicopathological correlation of absent crystalline lens in an eye with retinoblastoma.

Methods: A 1-year-old female child was brought to our patient services for pain and swelling in the right eye since the past few months. The child was diagnosed to have bilateral retinoblastoma and was suspected to have absence of crystalline lens in the right eye on the basis of clinical findings and ocular imaging.

The Publisher regrets that this article is an accidental duplication of an article that has already been published, http://dx.doi.org/10.

A prospective study of the role of intralesional bleomycin in orbital lymphangioma.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intralesional bleomycin injection in the management of lymphangiomas of the orbit.

Methods: This prospective noncomparative interventional case study included 13 patients with orbital lymphangiomas. Reconstituted bleomycin 1-5 ml (0.

Role of high-resolution computerized tomography chest in identifying tubercular etiology in patients diagnosed as Eales' disease.

Background: The high resolution computerized tomography of chest is an important diagnostic imaging tool to identify any pulmonary tubercular lesion. It's role in Eales' disease to identify any possible association with pulomonary tuberculosis has not been studied earlier. So, this study was conducted to assess the role of high resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) chest in identifying tuberculous etiology in Eales' disease.

The diagnostic yield of neuroimaging in sixth nerve palsy--Sankara Nethralaya Abducens Palsy Study (SNAPS): Report 1.

Aims: The aim was to assess the etiology of sixth nerve palsy and on the basis of our data, to formulate a diagnostic algorithm for the management in sixth nerve palsy.

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Results: Of the 104 neurologically isolated cases, 9 cases were attributable to trauma, and 95 (86.

Cataract surgery in a case of carotid cavernous fistula.

A carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between the cavernous sinus and the carotid arterial system. The ocular manifestations include conjunctival chemosis, proptosis, globe displacement, raised intraocular pressure and optic neuropathy. Although management of CCF in these patients is necessary, the ophthalmologist may also have to treat other ocular morbidities such as cataract.

Tubercular sclerouveitis masquerading as an ocular tumor: a case report.

Purpose: To report the diagnosis of a case of tubercular sclerouveitis, which masqueraded as an ocular tumor.

Design: Case report.

Methods: Retrospective medical chart review including serological, radiological, and histopathological investigative results.

Clinical profile, evaluation, management and visual outcome of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a neuro-ophthalmology clinic of a tertiary referral ophthalmic center in India.

Aim: To discuss the clinical features and management of patients who presented with optic disc edema and had features of presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).

Materials And Methods: Case series of all patients diagnosed to have IIH from January 2000 to December 2003 in the neuro-ophthalmology clinic of a tertiary referral ophthalmic institution, were retrospectively analyzed. Analysis was done for 50/106 patients who fulfilled modified Dandy's criteria and had optic disc edema and a minimal follow-up period of two years.
