Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates ocular adverse events (oAEs) linked to oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy drug, through a systematic review of case reports and analysis of patient data.
  • Out of 20 reported cases, a majority (84.2%) experienced loss of vision, with other symptoms including eyelid conditions and optic disc swelling; about 4.28% of oxaliplatin-related adverse event reports involved these ocular issues, with a high rate of serious outcomes.
  • The analysis also identified significant safety signals for various unexpected ocular injuries, indicating a need for increased awareness of these potential adverse effects among healthcare providers and patients.

  • Patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) are frequently misdiagnosed with congenital ptosis or ocular myasthenia gravis, often leading to unnecessary surgical procedures before receiving the correct diagnosis.
  • A study of 32 CPEO patients revealed an average diagnostic delay of about 25 years, with many having undergone multiple eyelid surgeries prior to CPEO confirmation.
  • Emphasizing the importance of early family history review and awareness of other CPEO symptoms could help reduce the rate of misdiagnosis and improve timely intervention.
