A 63-year-old woman with metastatic breast carcinoma presented to the ophthalmology clinic diplopia and right abduction deficit. Magnetic resonance imaging showed isolated enlargement of medial rectus muscle. Biopsy enlarged muscle revealed metastasis carcinoma. Ocular motility deficit in a patient should raise suspicion orbit involving extraocular muscles. Orbital biopsy are necessary for diagnosis appropriate treatment.

To describe a new technique and present its long-term outcome for prevention of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) tube exposure in patients with refractory glaucoma. Twenty-seven eyes 24 (mean age, 50 years; age range, 16–78 8 females, 16 males) who had the AGV implant were retrospectively reviewed. For implantation, long scleral flap combined Tenon advancement duplication was used. In this technique, is created to completely cover extraocular part valve's tube, surface covered duplicated Tenon's...

We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of periocular intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy in treatment moderate severe acute blepharitis or blepharoconjunctivitis.

We report a case with metastatic orbital cancer secondary to prostatic adenocarcinoma. After initiation of total androgen blockade, the visual complaints, pain and periorbital swelling regressed dramatically within 2 months treatment. However, disease subsequently progressed patient died 12 after diagnosis.

Azithromycin 1.5% ophthalmic solution (Azyter®, Thea Pharmaceuticals, Newcastle, UK) is an effective and well-tolerated option for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis blepharitis, has advantage a shorter duration than other topical antibiotics. No acute allergic reaction yet been reported in response to azithromycin eye drops. Here, we report two cases with unusual acute-type A 63-year-old female patient 67-year-old male treated blepharitis drops presented epiphora, eyelid edema,...

Abstract Objectives Behçet's disease ( BD ) has been recognized as an unclassified type of vasculitis with accompanying tendency to thrombosis. No disease‐specific pathology demonstrated so far explain the prothrombotic state, and this predisposition is considered be associated endothelial activation/dysfunction. P‐selectin glycoprotein ligand‐1 PSGL ‐1) variable number tandem repeat VNTR polymorphism impact on protein length, heterozygosity affect ‐1 interaction, which found increased risk...

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant, locally invasive tumour of salivary glands and accounts for approximately 35% all malignancies major minor glands. that originated from lacrimal gland exceedingly rare in teenage patients, with only a few cases reported. Herein, we report clinical radiological findings mucoepidermoid arising 15-year-old boy. We suggest since preoperative imaging are not diagnostic carcinoma, histopathologic examination should be performed definitive...

After physical or surgical damage of corneal epithelium, most analgesic drugs, like non-selective opioid agonists and non-steroid anti-inflammatory cannot be used because their negative effects on wound healing process. Biphalin is selective µ Δ receptor agonist which has proven rodents. Our purpose study finding biphalin epithelium. We primary culture human epithelial cells (HCECs) for examining healing. Firstly, we measured toxicity in various concentrations with MTT assay showed no toxic...

AIM: To characterize the phenylephrine test in aponeurotic and congenital eyelid ptosis, to determine appropriate timing of test, assess responses upper lower eyelids. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis 140 eyes 87 patients (mean age 52.29±16.45y; 22 males, 65 females) with ptosis. Totally 88.6% had 11.4% For evaluation eyelids topical 2.5% phenylephrine, scleral show height, marginal reflex distance (MRD) between inferior margin pupillary light (MRD1), central portion (MRD2) were...

Purpose To evaluate the effect of eyelid laxity on structure cornea. Methods This was a retrospective study performed in one institution. Patients with and without upper lower laxity, which were determined using snap-back test (SBT) distraction (LDT), evaluated for corneal structural changes Scheimpflug imaging tomography keratometric readings, cor-neal spectral domain optical coherence epithelial thickness (ET) measurements. The ET values obtained statistics report superior quadrant (SET),...

Objective: Population or hospital-based studies of the epidemiology childhood eye diseases in Turkey are limited.

We aimed to evaluate the morphology of normal lacrimal gland in three different axes a Turkish population sample by using magnetic resonance (MR) images relation sex, age, and side. Cranial MR obtained 3 Tesla unit 85 individuals (40 female, 45 male; mean age 42.20±23.30 years; range 2-83 years) performed Göztepe Medical Park Hospital between December 2015 July 2017 for non-orbital diseases were evaluated retrospectively. Anteroposterior, craniocaudal, transverse dimensions measured on...

Methods: The medical records 30 (13 vitrectomized, 17 nonvitrectomized) 28 patients (mean age, 59.09.6 years; male to female ratio 1:1) who were diagnosed DME had received IVR reviewed retrospectively. best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central thickness (CMT), total volume (TMV) measured at baseline months...

Introduction: Bilateral multifocal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment is a very rare and serious ocular condition associated with age-related macular degeneration, central serous chorioretinopathy systemic corticosteroid therapy. RPE has not been yet reported in patients ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which chronic inflammatory disease commonly acute anterior uveitis.

<h3>Background</h3> Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is characterised with recurrent inflammatory attacks serosal inflammation. The clinical findings of FMF seen in a large spectrum. Tel Hashomer criteria are widely used for classifying FMF. According this set classified as 'definite' and 'probable' disease. <h3>Objectives</h3> We aimed study to investigate the frequency exon-10 MEFV mutations patients according criteria. <h3>Methods</h3> group consisted 117 (79 male, 38 female, median...
