Sphenoid Wing Meningioma

Foster Kennedy Syndrome is a classic, yet rare, neuro-ophthalmologic syndrome due to an intracranial mass, most often a tumor, that consists of optic atrophy on the same side of the lesion and contralateral papilledema. We present the case of a 48-year-old female patient with decreased visual acuity and the typical clinical features described above due to a sphenoid wing meningioma. Although not a common condition, Foster Kennedy Syndrome should always be kept in mind in a patient with visual disturbances secondary to an intracranial mass.

Gingival Enlargement

Alteration in size of gingiva is one of the clinical features of periodontal disease. Increase in size of gingiva, which is termed as gingival enlargement or gingival over growth is a common clinical sign of gingival disease and a matter of great clinical concern. Increase in size alters the physiologic contour of gingiva, creates areas of plaque accumulation, intereferes with regular oral hygiene procedures, and creates aesthetic problems. In severe cases, it interefere with mastication and phonation. Enlargement may involve one or more components of gingiva. Depending on the involvement of components of gingiva and distribution, gingival enlargement can be Localized, genaralized and marginal, papillary, diffuse and discrete. Depending on etiology and pathogenesis, it can be classified as inflammatory enlargement, fibrotic enlargement, combined enlargement, enlargement associated with systemic conditions, neoplastic enlargement and false enlargements.

Herpes zoster ophthalmic is a common condition in the elderly or in the immunocompromised people. We present the case of a 32-yearold female patient, without any particular history, who consulted the emergency room for a red right eye with major chemosis, palpebral edema, and decreased visual acuity. There was also a crusty rash in the V1 territory, suggesting herpes zoster. Visual acuity was 2/10 in the right eye and 10/10 left eye (Figure 1 and 2). Examination at the slit lamp revealed a non-hypertensive granulomatous anterior kerato-uveitis of the right eye. Given the severity of the lesion, an immunodepressive background was suspected, HIV serology came back positive.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans (KFSD) is a rare, X-linked, hereditary disorder of keratinization, characterized by skin involvement and progressive scarring alopecia of scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The diagnosis is helped by the particular clinical features, but pathology is mandatory. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We described a case of a female patient referred to the outpatient’s hair consultation of our department, in which we performed trichoscopy as a very useful tool for the diagnosis, followed by pathology that confirmed KFSD. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> In our article, we underlined the importance of trichoscopy for the diagnosis of this hair disease, with also a review of the literature on diagnosis and treatment.

Tumors originating from lacrimal gland are rare.Wepresent a case of a 40 year old patient with pleomorphic adenoma of ectopiclacrimal gland in the left orbit. This large sized tumor was situated deepinside the orbit and compressed the globe and the optic nerve. Patient as aresult presented with proptosis and diminshed vision of the left eye (reducedto just perception of light).A total excision of the tumor was accomplished bymeans of a transcranial approach. Patient recovered well with a goodimprovement in the visual acuity. A review of the clinical features, radiologicfindings, treatment and histopathology is made.

Lenticule Extraction

Abstract A 28-year-old female patient (right eye: -3.75DS, left eye: -4.00DS) underwent bilateral small incision lenticule extraction. One week after small incision lenticule extraction, her left eye uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) did not reach her preoperative best corrected distance visual acu¬ity (BCDVA) as expected. Examination confirmed that corneal stromal lens fragments remained in the left eye. The lens fragments were removed with a second surgery, and the patient's vision was restored to her preoperative BCDVA. The results of this case yield the following suggestions: ① The lens separation method must be gentle and performed in the same plane. ② It is necessary to confirm the integrity of the lens after the lens is removed.
