A 25-year-old male presented with complaints of sudden diminution of vision with pain on eye movement in the left eye which was diagnosed clinically as retro bulbar optic neuritis. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed lesion consistent with sphenoid sinus mucocele. Early surgical removal of mucocele led to complete recovery of vision, contrast and visual field. A high index of suspicion is necessary for intracranial lesions in all cases of retro bulbar neuritis, especially those with atypical symptoms.

A 48-year-old gentleman presented to the ophthalmology department with progressive monocular vision loss, a relative afferent-pupillary defect, decreased color perception, headache, proptosis, and retro-orbital pain. This particular patient's demographics and disease course did not suggest a "typical" retro-bulbar optic neuritis and highlights the importance of avoiding presumptive steroid treatment in such "atypical" cases. Further investigations revealed a compressive optic neuropathy secondary to an orbital tumor (B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) and were subsequently treated by a multi-disciplinary approach.

Laser Doppler holography (LDH) is a full-field blood flow imaging technique able to reveal human retinal and choroidal blood flow with high temporal resolution. We here report on using LDH in the anterior segment of the eye without making changes to the instrument. Blood flow in the bulbar conjunctiva and episclera as well as in corneal neovascularization can be effectively imaged.
