Purpose: To evaluate the effect of oral prednisolone on visual outcomes and complications of scleral buckling (SB) in phakic eyes with acute rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
Methods: In a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, patients with acute RRD underwent SB. The treatment group received 1 mg/kg oral prednisolone for 10 days while the control group received placebo. Outcome measures included visual acuity (VA), retinal redetachment (re-RD), cystoid macular edema (CME), proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), and other possible postoperative complications. Outcome measures were compared between groups with McNemar test.
Results: Overall, 52 eyes of 52 subjects were enrolled into the study, which included 25 and 27 eyes in the treatment and placebo groups, respectively. Preoperatively, the extent and location of RD and rate of hypotony was comparable between the study groups. VA improvement (logMAR) was 0.75+/-0.61 overall: 0.85+/-0.62 in the treatment group versus 0.65+/-0.61 in the placebo group (p=0.36). Postoperative complications in the treatment and placebo groups included choroidal detachment, 3 versus 4 eyes (p=0.45), significant PVR, 1 versus 3 (p=0.33), and CME, 3 versus 5 eyes (p=0.39), respectively.
Conclusions: Postoperative oral prednisolone does not seem to improve the visual outcomes and complications of scleral buckling in simple phakic RRD.

We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with fever, right back pain, paresthesia in the right extremities, erythema, purpura, and nodules. She had previously initiated dialysis due to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and was transferred to our hospital. Imaging studies revealed multiple cerebral and splenic infarcts and hemorrhage encapsulating the right kidney, likely due to microaneurysms in multiple renal arteries.

Patients with A20 haploinsufficiency (HA20) presenting with central nervous system (CNS) symptoms are rare, and available reports are limited. Here, we describe a patient with HA20, previously followed up as Behçet disease, who presented with CNS symptoms in adulthood. A 38-year-old Japanese male who had been followed up for incomplete Behçet disease at another hospital since 28 years of age presented to our hospital with acute-onset diplopia and persistent hiccups that were severe enough to cause vomiting.
