Introduction And Importance: In an immunocompromised patient, there has never been a report of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and co-infection. Treatment with intravenous ganciclovir for EBV-associated uveitis has only been explored in a few cases.
Case Presentation: A 47-year-old HIV-positive female presented with scleral nodule and vascularized iris tumor in the left eye. After the ancillary laboratory workup, EBV was detected by polymerase chain reaction on aqueous humor and scleral tissue analysis. The lesion subsided completely with systemic and local ganciclovir therapy. Subsequently, recurrent scleral nodule with iris plaque developed and was pathologically diagnosed as . The employed treatment, including intravenous amphotericin B and intracameral amphotericin B injection, was successful in attaining a significant regression of the lesion.
Clinical Discussion: Although EBV treatment is debatable, our combination of systemic and local ganciclovir therapy demonstrated regression of EBV-caused scleral nodule and iris plaque. The organism's identification was complicated by , but it was easily treated.
Conclusions: In HIV-infected patients, EBV-associated sclerouveitis can be successfully treated with systemic and local ganciclovir therapy, and there is a possibility of coinfection with

Purpose: The objective of this study was to add to the limited literature of Focal Scleral Nodule (FSN).
Methods: This study was a single-centre, retrospective, observational case series performed at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital (United Kingdom). Nineteen eyes from nineteen patients over a thirteen year period (January 2011 to January 2024) were included.
A 3-year-old girl treated with intravenous chemotherapy for bilateral retinoblastoma (RB) and a standard technique of intravitreal topotecan for vitreous seeds in the left eye developed a conjunctival nodule at the injection site. Ultrasound biomicroscopy showed normal underlying sclera and ciliary body. Fundus examination of the left eye showed partly calcified vitreous seeds.

Background: Large-for-size syndrome (LFSS) is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication following adult liver transplantation (LT). Reduced-size liver transplantation (RSLT) is considered a valuable alternative to delayed fascial closure or mesh closure for preventing LFSS. In this article, we report a successful adult-to-adult RSLT case with right posterior graft sectionectomy using three-dimensional (3D) computer-assisted planning.

Purpose: To study rare ocular findings in a rare case of hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) and to study HME in one family.
Methods: HME is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by the presence of multiple exostoses (osteochondromas). It is caused by mutations in two genes: exostosin-1 (EXT1) and exostosin-2 (EXT2).
