An unusual case of partial oculomotor nerve palsy
The authors present an unusual case of intra-axial oculomotor nerve involvement due to midbrain infarction. The 65-year-old male patient presented with unilateral complete blepharoptosis and slight limitation of upgaze. Neurological examination revealed a complete ptosis of the left eyelid, slight...Pituitary adenoma causing compression of the optic chiasm
A 21-year-old girl presented to her general practitioner (GP) with a three-month history of headaches, becoming more frequent and associated intermittent vomiting that did not improve with simple analgesics. There was a strong family history of migraines. She was initially...
A rare case of ophthalmic complications following allergic fungal sinusitis
The authors present an unusual case report of a 32-year-old man with advanced allergic fungal sinusitis, presenting with severe bilateral visual loss and restricted ocular motility. On presentation he had an 18 month history of progressive nasal obstruction, as well...
Visual outcomes, visual fields and optical coherence tomography in paediatric craniopharyngioma
This study reviews the visual outcomes of ten patients under the age of 18 years with craniopharyngioma. The paper also reviews the correlation between visual field (VF) testing and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination and evaluates the role of OCT...
A case series of acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease
Acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease is well described but under-recognised. The pathogenesis of cerebellar esotropia is controversial. It is suggested it may be a result of disruption to central vestibular pathways. This article reports a case series of seven adults...
Conjunctival melanoma involving the lacrimal drainage system
A total of 52 patients were diagnosed with conjunctival melanoma over a period of 17 years, 17 of whom required orbital exenteration. Five of these were found to have melanoma involving the lacrimal drainage apparatus (LDA). One was evident clinically...
Screening for ROP using wide-angle digital retinal photography by non-ophthalmologists
This is a systematic review article to evaluate the accuracy of digital retinal photography (DRP) performed by trained personnel (non-ophthalmologists) in diagnosing clinically significant retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The authors used search engines including Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane databases....
Postop improved fusion and stereopsis in IDEX
This study aimed to evaluate changes in binocular visual function in patients with different ages before and after surgery to explore the optimal timing of intermittent exotropia surgery. The study comprised 28 females and 25 males. Fifty-three patients were split...
Full thickness macular hole after YAG PI
The authors report a case of macular hole post YAG peripheral iridotomy (PI) of a patient with pre-existing vitreomacular adhesion. Although a relatively safe procedure, some anterior segment complications are well documented such as corneal endothelium damage, rise in IOP,...
Changes in C:D ratio of premature infants with enlarged C:D ratios
This retrospective observational study examined the longitudinal alterations in cup to disc ratio (CDR) among premature infants exhibiting enlarged CDR and normal intraocular pressure (IOP) up to two years. Among the 283 infants, 13.4% manifested an enlarged CDR. In this...
A diagnostic imaging technique for optic pathway tumours
The authors discuss the difficult clinical scenario of patients with deteriorating visual function and an optic pathway lesion. The morbidity associated with biopsy means a highly sensitive and specific imaging technique would be of great value. The authors describe the...
