A case report on a 49-year-old female with diagnoses of ocular hypertension in her left eye (LE) treated with 250 mg/day acetazolamide for 2 years. During the slit-lamp examination, complete occlusion of both iridocorneal angles was detected. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 10 and 35 mmHg in the right eye and LE, respectively. Phacotrabeculectomy was performed in the LE. After 1 month of the procedure, the patient developed a slowly progressive miopization from −1 to −3 diopters (D) the following months. Approximately 3 months after surgery, the patient developed an episode of acute pain, athalamia, and IOP 45 mmHg in her LE. Late-onset malignant glaucoma was suspected and the patient was treated with topical hypotensive and cycloplegic agent until a prompt vitrectomy was performed. Deepening of the anterior chamber and restoration of IOP to normal range was obtained after surgery.

We describe a case of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome (UZS) in a healthy 56-year-old woman who underwent femtosecond-assisted phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. One month after an uneventful postoperative course in the left eye, the right eye was operated. Dilated pupil which was nonreactive to light appeared on day 21 postoperatively. This was discovered upon examination following anterior chamber inflammatory reaction which occurred 2 weeks following her surgery. Our case report emphasizes the importance and danger in developing UZS even if the reaction in the anterior chamber does not occur immediately after surgery. In addition, the importance of intraocular pressure follow-up in the period after UZS is acknowledged.

Rule Out

Introduction: This case report describes 3 cases of unsuspected neoplasms in previously blind eyes, with recent onset pain.  Cases and observations: Case 1: Female with pain, redness in the non-seeing right eye (R/E) for  two months. R/E had total cataract, low intraocular pressure and a well-defined globular mass lesion at the posterior pole, seen on ultrasound. Enucleation with an implant was done. Histopathology clinched the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma. Case 2: A 20-year male, developed pain, redness in left eye (L/E) for  two months. L/E was blind since childhood, secondary to trauma. The patient underwent enucleation and detailed histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry supported a diagnosis of ependymoma with vascular malformation. Case 3: A 24-year male with pain, redness in L/E for six months, with decrease in size of eyeball. L/E had low vision since childhood. On examination, L/E was phthisical with diffuse conjunctival congestion, band-shaped keratopathy, cataract, and neovascularization of iris. Imaging revealed a small distorted globe with highly reflective mass along the posterior pole. Histopathology of the enucleated specimen confirmed the diagnosis of choroidal osteoma, with gliosis of the adjacent RPE.  Conclusion: In the management of a painful blind eye, it is extremely important to rule out an intraocular malignancy, particularly in patients with recent onset of pain.

Side Face

Nevus of Ota also known as oculodermal melanosis presents as hyperpigmentation of face involving ophthalmic and maxillary branches of trigeminal nerve associated with ocular hyperpigmentation. It is due to confinement of melanocytes in the dermis. Most commonly it is unilateral but sometimes it may have bilateral presentation. Typically, it presents at birth but can also be an acquired condition. Frequently seen in Japanese and rarely in Indian subcontinent. It has more predilection towards females. Less frequently, hyperpigmentation is seen in other sites like oral mucosa, tympanum and nasal mucosa. These patients are at high risk of developing glaucoma and malignancy. The author reported a case of 12-year-old male child with unilateral pigmentation of left side face involving forehead, periorbital and cheek, along with ocular pigmentation. Hyperpigmentation of conjunctiva, iris and angles is present in left eye with intraocular pressure being normal in both eyes. Fundus showing optic disc pigmentation in the left eye with cup disc asymmetry in both eyes. Child has coexistent preauricular tag on the left side.

Ophthalmic emergencies may be complicated by occult but clinically significant raised intraocular pressure (IOP). We present a case of hypertensive uveitis accompanied by the finding of retinal arterial pulsation, which when visualised by direct ophthalmoscopy allows the generalist to identify significantly raised IOP requiring urgent specialist evaluation.

The Impact

This is a case report demonstrating appropriate diagnosis and management of PSS and its possible sequelae. Posner-Schlossman Syndrome is characterized by recurrent, unilateral attacks of significantly increased intraocular pressure. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition remains unclear. Duration of this chronic condition and the risk of developing secondary open angle glaucoma are directly proportional. The patient and managing optometrist must be aware of the necessity of timely intervention during acute attacks, as well as adherent longitudinal care to preserve function and quality of life. The ensuing case report and review underscores the impact of this disease.

Underlying Pathogenesis

Abstract Background Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a sporadic congenital disorder, characterized by unilateral facial nevus flammeus associated with ipsilateral glaucoma, choroidal angioma and leptomeningeal hemangiomas. SWS can comorbid with other disorders in some patients, however, there has been no prior described case of SWS and polydactyly occurring in the same patient. Case presentation A 15-year-old girl with diagnosis of SWS presented to our hospital. She had bilateral glaucoma and extensive port-wine stains distributing in bilateral faces, left neck and left upper limb. Meanwhile, the patient was noted to demonstrate the superfluous digit attaching on the left thumb and was diagnosed as polydactyly. Trabeculectomy, with intraoperative application of mitomycin C and postoperative subconjunctival injections of 5-fluorouracil, was successful in controlling the intraocular pressure in both eyes. Conclusions We report a case with bilateral SWS coexisting with unilateral polydactyly, which, to our knowledge, has not been recognized previously and adds further evidence to the existing literature. In view of the rare concurrence of SWS and polydactyly, the etiology is unclear and further investigation is required to explore the underlying pathogenesis.
