Intraocular Tumors

Although primary vitreoretinal techniques are rarely used in the primary treatment of intraocular tumors, they are mostly used for differential diagnosis and as an adjuvant treatment for the actual radiotherapy of these tumors. Especially biopsies are taken for masquerading syndromes, biopsies for prognostic evaluation and alternative/adjuvant treatment methods of intraocular tumors have been emphasized in this paper. The principles of vitreoretinal approaches in these cases are evaluated in light of our clinical experience and current literature data.

Heavy eye syndrome is an important type of myopia-induced strabismus. We provide an overview of heavy eye syndrome, from its history to its most salient features. The theory of the orbital and rectus muscle pulley system as it relates to heavy eye syndrome and the prevailing theories on the pathophysiology of heavy eye syndrome in the current literature are discussed. We also highlight the presentation of heavy eye syndrome, its typical features on imaging, and differential diagnosis. Finally, we provide an overview on the management of heavy eye syndrome, including a description of several current surgical techniques.

Femur Fractures

AbstractOver the past several years, the nail–plate construct (NPC) has emerged as a novel construct for the treatment of challenging distal femoral periprosthetic fractures. This construct, which uses a combination of the two primary treatment methods—lateral locked plating and retrograde intramedullary nailing, creates hybrid stabilization and allows the potential for early mobilization. This article will give the rationale for the use of the NPC as well as a review of the current published literature reviewing its use.

White Dot Syndromes

This article reviews the distinctive features of ‘white dot’ syndromes and related conditions. The investigations of choice for the proper diagnosis and monitoring of the diseases are indicated. A differential diagnosis is presented so that the clinician can confidently exclude other conditions such as infectious causes that can mimic white dot syndromes. This review is based upon our clinical experience in the uveitis service of Moorfields Eye Hospital, supported by an up-to-date literature review.

Fibrous Tumor

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that can present essentially anywhere in the body. Presentations in the hypopharynx are extremely rare with only two previous cases reported. We report the first case of postcricoid SFT occurring in a 58-year-old male requiring a microsuspension laryngoscopy excision following an unsuccessful transoral robotic attempt. The excision was uneventful, and the patient is currently without recurrence. Current management strategies of the hypopharyngeal SFT, the unique differential diagnosis, and challenges in surgical approaches in the postcricoid region are discussed.

Neuropathic Ulcers

Current literature on the treatment of patients with neuropathic ulcers generally does not fully consider pedorthic treatment. To evaluate pedorthic treatment of patients with neuropathic ulcers, an ongoing treatment and tracking program was developed. This program consisted of regularly scheduled visits, footwear inspections, and orthosis replacement, repair, or adjustment. Our intent is not to suggest that therapeutic footwear be used as a primary treatment to close foot ulcers, but to highlight the place of education, proper shoes, and orthosis in the healing process.

Optimal Therapeutic Strategy

Myxopapillary ependymoma are rare tumors and optimal therapeutic strategy is remained controversial. The main treatments for myxopapillary ependymoma tumors include surgery and radiotherapy. Hence, the present study aimed to review adjuvant treatment of myxopapillary ependymoma, focusing on spinal myxopapillary ependymoma. The information sources of all articles were the English authoritative databases including PubMed, Web of science, Scopus, Science direct and Google scholar. In this review study, the keywords including adjuvant, treatment, myxopapillary and ependymoma were selected from MeSH medical library. Related articles were published from 2000 to 2020. Given radiation tolerance in the spinal cord is 10-15% lower than that of the brain, it also should be noted that with increased dose and scope of therapeutic field, the corresponding risks are increased, as well. Also, chemotherapy has never been used as the primary treatment approach. Radiotherapy’s value is considered while involving with sensitive areas where chemotherapy is also recommended. Gross total resection is the preferred primary treatment. But the role of adjuvant radiotherapy is debated in different tumor and patient scenarios and no standard treatment strategy had been defined yet. The bottom line is that as long as cellular and molecular methods or gene therapy can be used in the treatment of myxopapillary ependymoma, all the studies confirm that the best treatment method is still wide surgical resection as much as possible.
