Abstract:External ophthalmomyiasis is an infestation of the eye with larvae of Dermatobia hominis or Oestrus ovis (sheep bot fly). We describe a case of ophthalmomyiasis in a 38-year-old male, who presented with ocular foreign body sensation, redness, pain, and watering of the eye. The causative larvae were removed and sent to the laboratory for identification. By studying morphological features, it was identified as the first instar larvae of O. ovis. The patient was put on topical and oral antibiotics but was lost to follow-up. This is probably the first report from this part of Karnataka.

Introduction: Ocular symptoms are uncommon manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Earlier study reported that dry eye, blurred vision, foreign body sensation, tearing, itching, conjunctival secretion, conjunctival congestion, ocular pain, and photophobia are among the ocular symptoms that could be found in COVID-19 patients. However, there are only a few reports available regarding corneal involvement in this disease. Here we report a case of keratoconjunctivitis as the only symptom of COVID-19 infection. Case description: A 27-year-old man who worked as an obstetrics and gynecology resident came to the outpatient clinic with the chief complaints of eye discomfort, foreign body sensation, conjunctival hyperemia, lacrimation, and photophobia in his right eye for the past 3 weeks. Fluorescence test showed a small corneal lesion. The patient was then diagnosed with keratoconjunctivitis. A week after the treatment, all symptoms were resolved. A month later, the patient came to the emergency room with the same eye complaints but with a more severe pain. The fluorescence test showed wider corneal lesion compared to last month. The result from the corneal swab is negative for bacterial or fungal infection, indicating a viral infection. Afterwards, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction test from nasopharyngeal swab was performed and revealed that the patient was positive for COVID-19. Conclusions: This case report showed that keratoconjunctivitis may occur as the only manifestation of COVID-19 infection. Thus, patient presented with unexplainable eye symptoms should be evaluated for COVID-19 infection.

INTRODUCTION: An ideal hernia repair should be tension free, tissue based, with no potential damage to vital structures, no long term pain or complications and no recurrence. Although Lichtenstein's prosthetic repair is simple and safe, but it is also correlated with risk of infections, recurrence, chronic pain, testicular atrophy and infertility, foreign body sensations and chronic groin sepsis. Desarda hernia repair does not require mesh and provide more physiological support. It is simple, easy to learn. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: a) To compare the operative time, postoperative stay and time required to return normal activity between two groups. b) To compare early complication rate and late complication rate between two groups. MATERIALAND METHODS: This observational study was conducted among patients admitted with the diagnosis of primary inguinal hernia in SMIMER, Surat. The patients were randomly allocated to either Lichtenstein or Desarda method of hernia repair. Operating time, post operative stay and duration of return to normal activity were recorded. Early complications were noted and the patients were followed up to 12 months for late complications (chronic pain, foreign body sensation, and recurrence). RESULTS: The mean operative time and postoperative stay did not show signicant differ for both groups. Patients operated by Desarda technique returned to normal activity signicantly early by 12.2 ± 2.54 days as compared to patients operated by Lichtenstein techniques (14.0 ± 2.76 days, p = 0.01). Most common early complication in both groups was pain (D group; 40.0%, Lgroup: 45.2%) followed by wound infection (D group; 8.0%, Lgroup: 6.5%) and seroma (D group; 0.0%, Lgroup: 3.2%). Occurrence of chronic pain was more in Lgroup (58.1%) as compared to D group (16.0%, p=0.001). None of the patients from D group had foreign body sensation. Foreign body sensation was observed only in ve patients of Lgroup (16.1%). Recurrence rate during one year in Lgroup (6.5%) was higher than D group (4.0%). CONCLUSION: Early return to work was potential benet of Desarda repair. Early complications were similar in both procedures. Desarda repair has lower incidence of chronic pain and foreign body sensation. However, there is no signicant difference for chronic pain in Desarda group when compared in same patients operated bilaterally with different technique. This study was conducted with small sample size with short follow up. Therefore, result of late complication in the present study may insufcient to conclude the probability of occurrence as longer follow up and larger sample size is required.

Exposure of implanted episcleral element is a rare complication of buckling procedures. We describe a 40-year-old man who presented to our clinic complaining of foreign body sensation and irritation in his left eye which lasted several months. The patient history was positive for bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment which was treated with sclera buckling. Upon presentation the left eye demonstrated phthisis and an exposed and infected sclera buckle and explant in the lower quadrants. The explant was removed, and the patient was treated with antibiotics. This case suggests that wide encircling sclera element might erode through the conjunctiva of eyes undergoing phthisis. Integrity of the conjunctiva overlying episcleral implant should be evaluated during routine follow-up exams to exclude exposure of the implant particularly in eyes undergoing phthisis.

Background: The ideal operation to treat inguinal hernia is still far to define. The Shouldice method and other tissue-based techniques are still acknowledged to be acceptable for primary inguinal hernia repair according to European Hernia Society guidelines. Desarda’s technique, presented in 2001, is an original hernia repair method using an undetached strip of external oblique aponeurosis. This randomized trial compared outcomes after hernia repair with Desarda and mesh-based Lichtenstein techniques.Methods: A total of 42 participants (40 males and 2 females) were randomly assigned to the Desarda (group 1) and Lichtenstein (group 2), 19 vs 23 respectively. The primary outcomes measured were recurrence (for maximum follow up of 1 year and minimum of 5 months) and chronic pain. Additionally, operative time, early and late complications, foreign body sensation, and return to everyday activity were examined in hospital and at 7, 30 days, and 6, 12 months after surgery.Results: During the follow-up, one recurrence was observed in Desarda group after 10 months of surgery. Chronic pain was experienced by 10.5% and 8.7% of patients from groups Desarda and Lichtenstein respectively. Foreign body sensation and return to activity were comparable between the two groups. Operative time was less in Desarda group. There was significantly less seroma production in the Desarda group.Conclusions: The results of primary inguinal hernia repair with the Desarda and Lichtenstein techniques are comparable at the 1 year follow up. The technique may potentially increase the number of tissue-based methods available for treating groin hernias.

Background: Inguinal hernia is common surgical problem for which mesh based technique, particularly Lichtenstein repair is considered gold standard. However it has its own limitation such as foreign body sensation, wound infection, cord fibrosis, chronic pain, etc. Desarda technique for hernia repair is emerging technique for inguinal hernia repair known for its low cost procedure, less recurrence rate and feasibility of the procedure. The objective of the study was to compare treatment of primary inguinal hernia repair with these methods in terms of various operative and post-operative parameters.Methods: 64 patients included in the study and operated after randomization. Intra-operative time, local complication, return to everyday activity, post-operative pain, foreign body sensation and early recurrence were analysed.Results: 51 patients were analysed with a minimum follow up period of 3 months and rest were lost on follow up. Operative time was less in Desarda’s repair (28.24 vs. 30.88 min). Desarda repair was cost effective, return to everyday activity was early in Desarda group, there was significantly (p<0.001) less post-operative pain measured on VAS on 2nd POD, 7th POD and 1 month. No recurrence observed.Conclusions: Desarda repair is easy to perform and takes less time to perform, it is also cost effective. Desarda repair when compared with Lichtenstein was superior in terms of postoperative pain, return to everyday activity and no foreign body sensation. Desarda repair is superior to mesh based technique in terms of outcome.

Ossifying stylohyoid ligament can be seen accidently in panoramic images. Sometimes this status is asymptomatic. However, in the presence of symptoms such as pain in the pharynx, a foreign body sensation, tinnitus or otalgia it is called Eagle’s syndrome. The other symptoms due to the pressure on carotid artery including migraines, aphasia or vertigo and syncope especially in turning head to suffering side may be reported. This case was a thirty-nine-year-old man by thick ossified stylohyoid ligament in both sides along with five pseudoarticles together with a background of head and neckache specially in cold weather.

ABSTRACT Purpose To report a case of spontaneous (nontraumatic) rupture of the cornea 7 days after intrastromal ring segment surgery in a patient with pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD). Methods Case report. Results A 37-year-old African woman complains blurred vision, photophobia, foreign body sensation and redness in her left eye 7 days after an uneventful implantation of a Ferrara intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) for PMD. Left eye examination revealed the rupture in the thinnest point of the cornea between the limbus and the implanted lower ICRS, and the iris prolapsed through the wound. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first documented spontaneous rupture of the thinnest point of the cornea in a patient with PMD treated successfully with the ICRS procedure. We examined the causes of this early and dramatic evolution and emphasize the importance of a careful follow-up.
