Critically ill patients cannot complain about eye problems. Eyecare is often overlooked in the intensive care units (ICUs) because treatment is mainly focused on failures of organ which results in eye complications which are preventable. Therefore, we report a case of a patient admitted to the ICU who developed unusual bilateral hemorrhagic chemosis. Although, chemosis has been encountered often in the ICU, hemorrhagic chemosis without prior direct trauma is unusual.

Peribulbar vs. incisionless sub-Tenon's blocks: a retrospective cohort study.
Eur J Med Res
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Faculty of Medicine, Osmangazi University, Büyükdere Mh, Odunpazarı, 26040, Eskişehir, Turkey.
Background: Ophthalmic procedures are increasingly being performed under regional anesthesia techniques such as peribulbar and incisionless sub-Tenon's blocks. The aim is to compare peribulbar block with incisionless sub-Tenon's block in terms of perioperative complications in patients who underwent cataract and vitreoretinal surgeries.
Methods: The patients who underwent cataract or vitroretinal surgery under peribulbar block or incisionless sub-Tenon's block were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
- - A 22-year-old male experienced progressive swelling and vision loss in his right eye over a month, but displayed no systemic symptoms that would indicate an infection or illness.
- - Imaging suggested benign conditions, but blood tests revealed hematological issues that led to a bone marrow biopsy, confirming acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a favorable genetic marker.
- - After starting chemotherapy, the patient showed significant improvement in his eye symptoms and vision, highlighting the need for awareness of potential blood cancers in young patients with unexplained eye issues.

An 84-year-old man with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome treated with tocilizumab reported with a 3-day history of left eye pain, conjunctival chemosis and injection, and horizontal binocular diplopia. Examination revealed restriction of left eye ductions in all directions with mild unilateral proptosis. MRI of his brain and orbits demonstrated abnormal enhancement of the left posterior sclera and intraorbital optic nerve sheath, without involvement of the extraocular muscles, cavernous sinus, or optic nerve parenchyma.

Article Synopsis
- The study was a prospective pre-post design aimed at improving the quality of documentation for maxillofacial trauma in the emergency department using a structured template.
- By evaluating 220 patients, it found an 18.95% improvement in record completeness when using the template, particularly in key areas like time of evaluation and ophthalmic assessments.
- The findings suggest that the structured template enhances thoroughness and accuracy in documenting injuries, leading to better clinical care and reduced risk of medical negligence.
