Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a highly sophisticated type of surgery, which has revolutionized the surgical management chronic sinus diseases. In ophthalmic field, FESS plays crucial role in few conditions, but not without risks. Ophthalmic complications associated with are well documented. They mainly occur due to shared common anatomic areas between ophthalmology and otolaryngology. can vary severity from very trivial cases such as localized hematoma collection, problematic...

Abstract Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous system, with optic neuritis (ON) being a common early manifestation. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness may be biomarker of neuroaxonal damage in MS patients. We sought to evaluate changes RNFL over 4 years Omani patients or without ON comparison healthy control group. Methods This retrospective case-control study involved 27 and 25 controls. Optical coherence tomography was...

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) and Kimura's Disease (KD) share many clinical histopathological features. Although they were once considered different stages of the same disease, are now known to represent separate entities. Recently, ALHE is being called epithelioid hemangioma (EH), a term that better describes possible neoplastic nature entity.An eighteen year-old Asian female presented three-month history fluctuating swelling ptosis left upper eyelid.
