Abstract:Dirofilaria are natural parasites of various species of carnivores. Man is an accidental dead end host. Human Dirofilariasis has been reported in certain parts of Southern India and is considered as an emerging zoonotic infection. A nematode extracted from an intramuscular swelling of the right forearm was identified as Dirofilaria immitis based on the morphological and microscopic characters.The sole purpose of this article was to review the clinical course and management of an intramuscular mass.

Background: Pseudophacocele is a rare complication of blunt trauma in pseudophakic eyes.Case: We present a case of 60-year-old male who presented with pseudophacocele after injury from a bicycle handle. On presentation, visual acuity in the right eye was perception of light (PL) in 2 quadrants (superior and temporal) and left eye was 20/20. A PCIOL was seen superonasally in the right subconjunctival space with total hyphaema. Ultrasound demonstrated vitreous haemorrhage with membranes in right eye. We describe the surgical management and further clinical course of the patient.Conclusion: It is imperative to surgically manage these challenging cases. Despite optimum care visual outcomes are guarded in patients with severe blunt trauma.

This case report is about a seven-year-old male neutered European Shorthair cat infected by Dirofilaria immitis as the first reported autochthonous Dirofilaria immitis infection in Austria. There was no history of periods abroad. Echocardiography showed suspected D. immitis in the right cardiac chamber with increased pulmonary pressure and ascites. Surgical removal of the heartworms was performed. Twenty adult heartworms were removed by transvenous jugular approach under general anesthesia and stored in 4% formalin. Five out of 20 specimens were examined via light and stereomicroscopy and feline heartworm infection was confirmed. Amplification of a 203 bp or 724 bp fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene was unsuccessful. After surgery the cat developed acute renal failure but recovered quickly. One year later, the cat underwent a control examination including echocardiography and blood work. There were no more D. immitis detectable at echocardiography. Lung pressure was mildly increased. Complete blood count and creatinine were unremarkable. The Knott’s test and Dirofilaria-Antigen-test produced negative results. The cat did not show any clinical signs during the follow-up period. The aim of this case report is to highlight the growing risk of acquiring infection with D. immitis not only for Austrian dogs, but also for cats. This case report represents the first report of autochthonous D. immitis infection in Austria. Moreover, even if the prognosis in cats with caval syndrome due to feline heartworm disease is guarded to poor, surgical removal of the filariae can be a successful treatment option.

Relentless Placoid Chorioretinitis

Introduction. Relentless placoid chorioretinitis is an entity which belongs to the group of an atypical intermediate form of primary inflammatory choriocapillaropathies, resembling both acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy and serpiginous choroiditis, but the retinal distribution and clinical course are not the same. Because of this similarity this entity was termed ?AMPPiginous?. This entity was first described by Jones et al. in 2000. The aim of our case report is to present a very specific case where the clinical course was progressive, with loss of vision in the affected eye. Case Outline. A 31-year-old man, with no previous ophthalmic diseases, was hospitalized at the Clinic of Ophthalmology, Clinical Center Kragujevac, because of a reduction of vision in the right eye, and scotoma and metamorphopsia in the left eye. The clinical course of retinal lesions in the left eye resembled the changes observed in acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, and the right eye changes were between acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy and serpiginous choroiditis. The diagnosis of relentless placoid chorioretinitis was confirmed after clinical, laboratory, immunological, virological, and angiography examinations. Conclusion. The progressive clinical course of the disease, complemented by multimodal imaging and extensive laboratory diagnostics, has led us to the diagnosis of relentless placoid chorioretinitis. The combined anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory therapy led to the stabilization of visual acuity of the left eye as opposed to the right, where there has been no recovery.

Abstract Background To describe the clinical course of an active solitary idiopathic choroiditis (focal scleral nodule) that nearly resolved over six weeks without intervention. Case presentation An 18-year-old man presented to the emergency department with headaches and new onset central scotoma in the right eye. Visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Fundus examination revealed an amelanotic choroidal lesion with associated shallow subretinal fluid. It measured 6.1 × 6.3 × 1.4mm on A- and B-scan. Evaluation for systemic inflammatory and infectious diseases was negative. A week later, the lesion remained stable, and a month later, there was improvement of the lesion with a decrease in size on OCT and exam and resolution of the subretinal fluid suggesting that the lesion had become inactive. Conclusions Solitary idiopathic choroiditis (Focal scleral nodule) is a rare condition characterized by inflammatory granulomatous reaction. This case report sheds light on the unknown natural course of a solitary idiopathic choroiditis (focal scleral nodule).

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.
