History Of

Purpose: Silicone oil (SO) is often used as an intraocular tamponade in repairs of retinal detachments. It may be associated with complications such as cataract, glaucoma, keratopathy, subretinal migration of oil, fibrous epiretinal and sub retinal proliferations, and oil emulsification. The purpose of this report is to describe a rare phenomenon of intraocular silicone oil migration into the cerebral ventricles, which may later be mistaken for intraventricular hemorrhages on neuroimaging. Methods: Case report with literature review. Results: A patient with a history of retinal detachment repair with intraocular SO presented with headaches. Neuroimaging revealed SO migration to the cerebral ventricles. The patient was treated conservatively with symptom management and headaches resolved. Conclusions: We present a case of intraocular SO migration to the cerebral ventricles and review the current literature. We also propose two mechanisms for this phenomenon.

Evidence Review

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare life threatening presentation of antiphospholipid syndrome. Surgery has been proposed as one of the triggering factors for this life threatening entity. There are no detailed published reports in the current literature describing CAPS as a complication after surgery. We report a case of a 21 year old that developed CAPS postoperatively and discuss the multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and management.

Cardioverter Defibrillators

As the number of patients having implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) devices is increasing, it is important for the physicians and patients to be aware of situations and conditions that can result in interference with normal functioning of these devices. There are multiple cases of malfunction of ICDs reported in literature and it may be of great significance to have an overview of these incidents for appropriate recognition and future prevention. Here we are reviewing the available literature as well as reporting an interesting case of electromagnetic interference (EMI) resulting from leak of current in pool water causing firing of ICD.

AbstractObjective:To report the first case of treatment of Nager syndrome associated conductive hearing loss with bone-anchored hearing aids, in a three-year-old boy.Method:Clinical case report and current literature review regarding the use of bone-anchored hearing aids in the treatment of conductive hearing loss in children.Results:A three year eight month old boy with Nager syndrome was successfully treated for conductive hearing loss using bilateral bone-anchored hearing aids.Conclusion:This is the first case report of the use of bone-anchored hearing aids to treat Nager syndrome associated conductive hearing loss. Treatment was safe and successful in this case.

This is a case of plant thorn synovitis of the hand in an adult following a plum tree thorn injury, the first reported case in the hands in the past decade. The patient initially presented with persistent joint discomfort following removal of a retained plum thorn fragment from the skin overlyin the proximal interphalangeal joint of the left middle finger. Initial radiography and sonography imaging following the removal revealed no foreign bodies. However, the patient’s symptoms were worsening and refractory to anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatment. An exploratory surgery was carried out, which revealed multiple plant thorn fragments within the synovium, each measuring approximately 1 mm in size. A synovectomy was performed and the patient recovered with full function. Our case of plant thorn synovitis is discussed along with a review of the current literature on plant thorn synovitis in the hands.
