Morphological analysis of lacrimal punctum using anterior segment optical coherence tomography in different age groups.
Indian J Ophthalmol
February 2025
Department of Orbit and Oculoplasty, Sankara Eye Hospital, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
Purpose: To evaluate the lacrimal punctal changes in different age groups using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between January 2023 and January 2024 including healthy subjects between 20 and 80 years. The selected eyes from healthy patients were divided into four age groups (21-35 years, 36-50 years, 51-65 years, 66-80 years), and lower lacrimal puncta were analyzed using AS-OCT.

The role of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency in dyslipidemia and liver disorders.
Rev Esp Enferm Dig
January 2025
Digestive Diseases, Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves, España.
Cholesterol ester storage disease (CESD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the LIPA gene, leading to reduced lysosomal acid lipase activity, cholesterol ester accumulation, and systemic manifestations including liver dysfunction and dyslipidemia. We report the case of a 25-year-old male presenting with subacute jaundice, hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin 51 mg/dL, predominantly direct), and dyslipidemia characterized by elevated total cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol levels. Initial diagnostic workup for acute hepatitis and liver dysfunction, including serological and imaging studies, was unremarkable.

Canaliculops Mimicking Canaliculitis.

Canaliculops is a rare case of a medial canthal mass due to a non-infectious dilation of the canaliculus and easily mimics canaliculitis with canalicular dilation. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman with a five-year history of progressive swelling of the right upper eyelid.
