AI Article Synopsis
- A 67-year-old man with Parkinson-plus syndrome experienced a unique case involving a dislocated cataractous lens in one eye and a subluxated lens in the other, despite no trauma history.
- His condition included apraxia of lid opening and moderate-to-severe blepharospasm, which are complications often associated with Parkinson-plus syndrome.
- The case suggests that these movement disorders may lead to spontaneous lens dislocation, highlighting a potential, unusual ocular complication of the syndrome.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of unilateral posterior dislocation of the cataractous lens and subluxation of the lens in the fellow eye of a patient with Parkinson-plus syndrome.
Observations: A 67-year-old-man who was a known case of Parkinson-plus syndrome on long-term dopamine agonists and anti-psychotic medications demonstrated apraxia of lid opening associated with moderate-to-severe blepharospasm. He had unilateral posterior dislocation of the cataractous lens and subluxation of the lens in the fellow eye with no prior history of trauma or other known ocular risk factors.
Conclusion And Importance: This case may represent an unusual example of spontaneous lens dislocation secondary to apraxia of lid opening and concurrent blepharospasm, which is associated with Parkinson-plus syndrome.

Objectives This study aimed to identify the etiology and the direction of dislocation of the natural crystalline lens or intraocular lens (IOL) in IOL intrascleral fixation surgery and to determine the change in intraocular pressure (IOP) after surgery. Methods We retrospectively investigated the diagnosis, direction of lens and IOL dislocation, and IOP before and after surgery (preoperatively and one day, one week, and one month postoperatively) in 236 eyes from 228 patients who underwent IOL intrascleral fixation at Chiba University Hospital between February 2015 and September 2020. Results IOL intrascleral fixation was performed in 48 (20.

Objectives: To report the frequency of patients with pre- and post-reduction computed tomography (CT) scans associated with acetabular fracture-dislocations and the change of associated intra-articular fragments occurring with joint reduction.
Methods: Design: Retrospective case series.

Intrathoracic Scapular Dislocation After Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.
JBJS Case Connect
October 2024
Lexington Clinic, Lexington, Kentucky.
Case: A 75-year-old woman status post total shoulder arthroplasty and posterior rib resection 29 years previously experienced a low-energy intrathoracic scapular dislocation (ISD). Closed reduction under anesthesia was unsuccessful, and she required open surgical repair performed by a novel modification of Kibler's technique for medial scapular muscle repair.
Conclusion: This case is unique because increased range of motion after successful arthroplasty allowed her shoulder to flex forward enough to result in ISD.
Traumatic Posterior Sternoclavicular Joint Dislocation With a Five-Day Delayed Presentation: A Case Report.

Orthopedic Department, King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, SAU.
Posterior sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocation is a rare but potentially life-threatening injury due to its proximity to critical mediastinal structures. Early diagnosis and prompt management are essential to prevent severe complications such as vascular or respiratory compromise. We report a case of a 23-year-old male who presented to our emergency department five days after a high-energy motor vehicle accident with isolated, closed posterior dislocation of the SCJ.
