Methods: The features 27 patients diplopia due to were retrospectively reviewed. Exclusion criteria a history prematurity, cerebral palsy, head trauma, or febrile illness before onset esotropia, incomitant strabismus, accommodative spasm, divergence paralysis. Neurological evaluation neuroimaging was normal in all patients. Results: Mean age at 17.8 ± 10.3 years...

Purpose: To compare serum and tear inflammatory anti-inflammatory cytokine levels of rosacea patients with the healthy controls evaluate correlation function parameters.Methods: Tear interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage protein-1α (MIP-1α), epidermal growth factor (EGF), vascular endothelial (VEGF) were measured using multiplex bead (Luminex) technology in 12 without ocular involvement (group 1), 20 2), 22 subjects 3). The cytokines...

To identify the ocular features of children diagnosed as having 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in a Turkish population, which is most common microdeletion with wide range facial and abnormalities.Sixteen aged between 4 months 18 years chromosome underwent detailed ophthalmological examination including uncorrected best corrected visual acuity testing, stereoscopic vision examination, biomicroscopic indirect fundus motility testing.All patients had at least one abnormality. The major abnormalities...

A bstract Background: To evaluate the association of presence, extent and width Vogt's striae with other microstructural corneal alterations in keratoconus using vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). Methods: Sixty‐eight keratoconic corneas 68 patients were evaluated slit‐lamp examination (SLE), topography IVCM. For each eye, alternating light dark bands (Vogt's striae) observed IVCM was recorded together keratocyte endothelial cell densities, stromal nerve thickness, subbasal density thickness....

To assess the long-term effects of soft contact lenses (SCL) on cornea and anterior chamber by topography.Thirty-nine eyes 22 healthy patients were included in this prospective study. Changes corneal parameters before after 12 months daily SCL use (Air Optix Aqua, Air Aqua for Astigmatism, Acuvue Oasys Astigmatism) evaluated with Pentacam (Oculus, Germany).Best corrected visual acuity toric was significantly better compared to spectacles group (0.98±0.34 vs 0.94±0.72, p=0.004). None...

In Brief A 74-year-old man who had been treated for pulmonary atypical carcinoid tumor 3 years earlier developed diplopia. Imaging studies showed a well-delineated diffuse enlargement of the right inferior rectus muscle. Downward movement eye was restricted. Incisional biopsy affected muscle revealed metastatic infiltration that immunostained positively epithelial membrane antigen, synaptophysin, and chromogranin. Systemic chemotherapy consisting cisplatin etoposide prescribed to address...

Purpose This study investigated the ultrastructural changes in extraocular muscles under which radioactive plaques had been placed for treatment of uveal melanoma. Methods At time plaque removal, biopsies were taken from four horizontal recti that left situ over and one lateral rectus muscle disinserted before brachytherapy. Normal enucleated eyes used as controls. Iodine-125 seeds with a mean total activity 54.04 mCi, remaining an average 149.62 hours sclera. Results Muscles demonstrated...

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the macular choroidal thickness in obese children with and without insulin resistance (IR). Methods: Thirty-six patients obesity 26 healthy volunteers were included cross-sectional study. measured enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) at fovea positions 500 μm, 1000 1500 μm nasal temporal fovea. measurements groups compared correlation between homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) values evaluated....

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary auto-inflammatory disease with accompanying findings of amyloidosis and vasculitis. M694V one the most common mutations associated amyloidosis. This study compared macular optical coherence tomography angiography measurements in FMF patients who were genetically verified to carry mutation MEFV gene those healthy controls. The vessel densities (VDs) superficial (SVP) deep vascular plexus (DVP) retina, choriocapillaris, foveal avascular zone...

To evaluate the optical coherence tomography angiography findings in patients with Behçet disease and without ocular involvement. A total of 40 30 healthy controls were enrolled study. Retinal vessel density superficial capillary plexus deep plexus, foveal avascular zone area perimeter, acirculatory index, density, nonflow retina automatically measured using software AngioVue compared between groups. The mean parafoveal perifoveal densities significantly lower eyes uveitis to controls. In...

Physiological palpebral fissure asymmetry is a common observation in physician’s everyday practice. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between height (PFH) and ocular dominance. Sixty-nine healthy volunteers (42 female, 27 male) were included research, dominance determined using hole-in-the-card pointing-a-finger tests. Those with inconsistent test results excluded. Standard photographs taken all subjects primary position consistent background photographic equipment. PFHs...

Horner syndrome is a rare but likely underdiagnosed complication of tonsillary surgery. The authors report the case 2.5-year-old boy who developed miosis and mild ptosis after radiofrequency tonsil ablation Pharmacologic testing with apraclonidine 0.5% eye drops confirmed left syndrome. This highlights close anatomical relationship between tonsils cervical sympathetic trunk draws attention to occurrence tonsillectomy. [ J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus . 2018;55:e14–e15.]
