Candy Cane Hypopyon Secondary to Intraocular Mantle Cell Lymphoma: A Case Report.

Introduction: Bilateral hemorrhagic hypopyon, also known as candy cane hypopyon, is an extremely rare presentation which we report as a unique case in association with intraocular mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

Case Presentation: A 63-year-old white male presented with a 3-week history of conjunctival injection OS that was unresponsive to erythromycin ointment and topical steroids, in the setting of recently discovered diffuse lymphadenopathy and malaise. On presentation, he was found to have bilateral hemorrhagic hypopyon.

Possible Association between Behçet's Disease and Periodontal diseases.

Aim: This study explores the connection between Behçet's disease (BD), characterized by persistent oral and genital ulcers alongside iritis, and periodontal disease. It examines the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and nitric oxide (NO) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva.

Methods: Forty Behçet's patients with gingivitis or periodontitis and 47 patients with either gingivitis or periodontitis but without BD were studied.

Reactive Oxygen Species-Responsive Dual Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidative Nanoparticles for Anterior Uveitis.

Anterior uveitis (AU) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that results in iritis, cyclitis, glaucoma, cataracts, and even a loss of vision. The frequent and long-term administration of corticosteroid drugs is limited in the clinic owing to the side effects and patient noncompliance with the drugs. Therefore, specifically delivering drugs to inflammatory anterior segment tissues and reducing the topical application dosage of the drug are still a challenge.

Cutaneous leukocytoklastic vasculitis in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis: A case report.

Extra-articular manifestations (EAMs) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are common and most extra-articular manifestations such as acute iritis and inflammatory bowel disease are positively correlated with disease activity of AS. Vasculitis is an extra-articular manifestation of AS. However cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis (CLV) is uncommon in AS patients.

Long-term follow-up of a healthy man with endogenous Streptococcus anginosus endophthalmitis.

We report the long-term follow-up of an immunocompetent patient who presented with slowly progressive endogenous endophthalmitis secondary to Streptococcus anginosus. A 46-year-old healthy man presented with a two-month history of right eye iritis. On examination, visual acuity was 20/60 with intraocular pressure of 6 mm Hg.

Causal Association between Iritis or Uveitis and Glaucoma: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomisation Study.

Recent studies have suggested an association between iritis or uveitis and glaucoma. This study investigated the causal relationship between glaucoma and iritis and uveitis as exposures in a multi-ethnic population. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with exposures to iritis and uveitis from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) data of Biobank Japan (BBJ) and the meta-analysis data from BBJ and UK Biobank (UKB) were used as instrumental variables (IVs).

Predictive factors and visual outcomes after immediate pars plana vitrectomy for posteriorly dislocated lens fragments during complicated phacoemulsification surgery.

Purpose: To investigate the prognostic factors for visual outcome in patients undergoing immediate pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for posteriorly dislocated lens fragments during phacoemulsification surgery.

Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study of 37 eyes of 37 patients undergoing immediate PPV for posteriorly dislocated lens fragments from 2015 to 2021. The primary outcome measure was changes in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).

Ipilimumab-related uveitis and refractory hypotony with a flat chamber in a trabeculectomized eye with exfoliation glaucoma: A case report.

Purpose: Ipilimumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that occasionally causes ophthalmic immune-related adverse events (irAEs) such as dry eye, uveitis, and episcleritis. We report a case of ipilimumab-related uveitis and refractory hypotony with a flat anterior chamber (AC) in a trabeculectomized eye with exfoliation glaucoma.

Observation: A 69-year-old man with a history of cataract surgery and trabeculectomy for exfoliation glaucoma in the right eye presented with blurred vision at 2 months after initiation of ipilimumab for metastatic malignant melanoma (day 0).

Cytomegalovirus Anterior Uveitis: Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Immunological Mechanisms.

Little is known regarding anterior uveitis (AU), the most common ocular disease associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in immunocompetent populations. CMV AU is highly prevalent in Asia, with a higher incidence in men. Clinically, it manifests mainly as anterior chamber inflammation and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).
