Purpose: To describe a case of a patient presenting with acquired acoria and iris pearls, a rare eye manifestation and pathognomonic finding for leprosy; to reinforce clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic aspects of ocular involvement in leprosy. Methods: Case report. Case description: A 62-year-old male presenting with acquired acoria and iris pearls in both eyes due to leprosy also had anterior uveitis and cataract. Histopathological diagnosis of iris pearls was confirmed by the presence of Hansen’s bacilli. Ophthalmological examination revealed improvement of the visual acuity after iridectomy and extracapsular cataract extraction. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of acquired acoria in a leprosy patient. It led to impaired vision and reversible blindness. Proper diagnosis and ophthalmological treatment of patients with these conditions are essential for the maintenance of a good quality of life.

Introduction In 1952 Goldenhar described a case with triad of pre auricular tags, mandibular hypoplasia and ocular (epibulbar) dermoid and described the case as Goldenhar Syndrome. Case Report A case of Goldenhar Syndrome without ocular involvement is presented. Discussion Goldenhar syndrome is also known as oculoauriculovertebral dysplasia due to presence of additional vertebral anomalies. Exact etiology of this disease is not known. Most of the cases are sporadic, though autosomal recessive/dominant and multifactorial inheritance has also been suggested. Chromosomal analysis shows no abnormalities.

Acute Maculopathy

Purpose: To report the case of a 33-year old man who disclosed the first case of bilateral ocular involvement of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) with a different stage of the disease in each eye. Methods: Retrospective case report. Results: The study included a patient who incurred in a bilateral HFMD maculopathy. During 6 months follow-up period persistent abnormalities in fundus examination and in OCT scans were reported. Conclusion: We consider that our case shows that choriocapillaris is the primary target of HFMD maculopathy, for this reason we consider that ICGA is mandatory for early diagnosis and an effective treatment.

Ocular Ultrasound

Abstract Introduction. Preeclampsia presents a medical condition in pregnancy that is manifested with increased blood pressure and protein urine. Ocular involvement is rare. Retinal detachment in preeclampsia is a rare complication; it only occurs in 1-2% of severe preeclampsia but in 10% of those with eclamptic seizures. Case report. A pregnant patient G1P0 visited the outpatient clinic of the University Clinic for Ophthalmology complaining on visual disturbances. The chief complaint was blurred vision and headaches. She was in 31 week of gestation and complained that she had increased blood pressure over the last month. After initial assessment she was suspected of central serous retinal ablation (CSCR). Ocular ultrasound and posterior segment OCT (optical coherence tomography) confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment and outcome. Obstetric examination confirmed high blood (TA180/130) pressure with dipstick urine showing(+++). Unfortunately, the ultrasound showed an eutrophic pregnancy in 31 g.w. with fetus mortus inutero. The patient was administered to the intensive care unit. She had an ophthalmologic check-upat 2 weeks and one month post-partum that showed regression and visual acuity was getting better. The final check-up after 6 months revealed that retina was in place with no subretinal substantial fluid and no macular edema. Conclusion. Serous retinal detachment is a rare complication of preeclampsia. In most case it resolves spontaneously few weeks post delivery.
