A 28-year-old man with a biopsy-proven benign intraorbital optic nerve sheath meningioma developed recurrent clinical manifestations of ipsilateral retrobulbar inflammation 9 years after undergoing postoperative radiation therapy. Debulking of the tumor 11 years after the original surgery again revealed no pathologic signs of inflammation. Whether growth of tumor, surgery, radiation, or edema triggered the inflammatory manifestations is unclear. Our case affirms that primary optic nerve meningiomas may rarely cause episodic manifestations resembling those of idiopathic orbital inflammation that resolve with corticosteroid treatment.

A Comparative Transcriptome and Proteome Analysis of the Molecular Mechanism Underlying Anterior to Dorsal Eye Rotation in the Celestial-Eye Goldfish ().

Goldfish (), subjected to millennia of artificial selection and breeding, have diversified into numerous ornamental varieties, such as the celestial-eye (CE) goldfish, noted for its unique dorsal eye rotation. Previous studies have primarily focused on anatomical modifications in CE goldfish eyes, yet the molecular underpinnings of their distinctive eye orientation remain poorly understood. This study employed high-throughput transcriptome and proteome sequencing on 110-day-old full-sibling CE goldfish, which displayed either anterior or upward eye rotations.

: Amblyopia is a condition where children undergo unilateral or bilateral vision loss due to a variety of disorders that impact the visual pathway. The assessment of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in amblyopia has made optical coherence tomography (OCT) a useful technique for studying the pathophysiology of this condition. This study was conducted to assess OCT results for various forms of amblyopia, including macular thickness and peripapillary RNFL thickness.

The study presents a detailed examination and follow-up of a Slovenian patient with an Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON)-like phenotype and bilateral optic neuropathy in whom genetic analysis identified a novel variant :m.15309T>C (Ile188Thr). We provide detailed analysis of the clinical examinations of a male patient with bilateral optic neuropathy from the acute stage to 8 years of follow-up.

: Resection of tumors invading the cavernous sinus (CS) carries a risk of injury to the cranial nerves and internal carotid artery. Therefore, radical surgery involving lesions around the CS remains challenging, especially for lesions invading the CS, optic sheath, and oculomotor cave. Here, we describe a surgical strategy for meningiomas invading these structures and report on the clinical outcomes.
