Idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) is a noninfectious inflammatory disease whose etiology remains unknown. Treatment is focused on reducing inflammation, which becomes challenging in nonresponding cases. We report the case of a 59-year-old woman with refractory IOI that showed a positive response to tocilizumab therapy. The patient was diagnosed with a unilateral sclerosing IOI for 9 years and showed a negative control with previous oral steroids, peribulbar steroid injections, radiotherapy, immunosuppressors, and intravenous rituximab. After the initiation of 8 mg/kg intravenous tocilizumab, a complete reduction of the pain and the orbital inflammation signs was observed and her condition remained stable for the following 6 years under a monthly dose of 4 mg/kg. In recalcitrant IOI cases, tocilizumab could be considered a possible treatment to reduce inflammatory signs and symptoms with positive long-term outcomes as in our case.We report a case of a 42-year-old male with a history of bilateral congenital cataract surgery performed at 2 years of age. The patient was left with aphakia, secondary glaucoma, and a history of diabetic macular edema in the setting of diabetes mellitus type 1. The right eye became prephthisical from his congenital surgical repair, and his left eye presented with an acute pseudo-endophthalmitis developing after the seventh intravitreal injection to treat the macular edema. The eye then presented with decrease in vision, periocular injection, and a diffuse inflammatory reaction focused around the anterior residual lens capsule. The patient underwent surgical removal of the residual capsule and primary vitrectomy repair of the eye, achieving a significant improvement in visual symptoms and recovery of visual and anatomic function.A 56-year-old female presented with vitreous opacity with gradual visual disturbance in her right eye of 1-year duration. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/piperaquine-phosphate.html A Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma had been treated 15 years before. Presenting best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/200 in her right eye and 20/25 in her left eye. Intraocular pressure was 18 mm Hg bilaterally. Slit-lamp examination revealed no abnormal findings in the anterior segment of both eyes, including the absence of cells and flare. Fundoscopic examination indicated hazy media with the typical glass-wool-like appearance in her right eye. B-scan ultrasound demonstrated that the vitreous was full of middle-echo spots, vitreous opacities, and posterior vitreous detachment occurred. The patient underwent vitreous biopsy and a standard 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (diagnostic and therapeutic). Intraoperatively, the eye was noted to have severe diffuse debris and very strong vitreoretinal adhesions. Cytospin smears prepared from the vitreous aspirate indicated amorphous acellular material that stained positively with Congo Red and showed apple green birefringence on polarized microscopy, consistent with the diagnosis of amyloidosis. A genetic evaluation of tongue tissue demonstrated apolipoprotein AI-derived amyloidosis. The BCVA was 20/25 OU at 3 months postoperatively.A 14-year-old boy who had ocular motility disorder which started 2 weeks following retinal surgery (scleral buckling) secondary to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, was referred to the strabismus clinic. He had significant ocular movement limitations in adduction and elevation under general anesthesia. The forced duction test (FDT) was positive in both adduction and elevation. After buckle removal, FDT was negative. The eye was orthotropic without ocular movement limitation at final follow-up. In conclusion, FDT at the end of the scleral buckling procedure needs to be performed. It may prevent restrictive strabismus after scleral buckling surgery.This case report presents an instance of unilateral cataract formation and its rapid progression following topiramate-induced bilateral acute angle closure. An 18-year-old female diagnosed with acute angle closure in both eyes had started treatment on the previous day at another healthcare facility. The patient presented with complaints of pain, sudden diminution of vision, excessive watering, and photophobia (both eyes) and reported the use of topiramate for headache for 10 days. There was no past history of decreased vision, trauma, uveitis, or use of steroids. Topiramate-induced bilateral secondary angle closure attack was the presumptive diagnosis. Topiramate use was stopped, and antiglaucoma drugs, topical cycloplegic, and topical steroids were started. On 1-day follow-up, clearer cornea and peripheral anterior capsular lenticular opacity of the right eye were observed. Gonioscopy showed closed angles. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography showed forward movement of the iris-lens diaphragm and closed angles. B-scan showed ciliochoroidal effusion in the right eye and normal left eye. At 2-month follow-up, formed anterior chamber and posterior subcapsular cataract in the right eye were seen. There were no lenticular changes in the left eye. Definite progression of cataract from day-1 to 2-month follow-up was seen in the right eye. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the rapid progression of cataract following topiramate-induced secondary angle closure in a young patient warranting surgical intervention.Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a persistent, severe allergic eye disease, mainly occurring in children, that can lead to severe ocular complications including visual loss. The underlying etiology and pathophysiology of VKC remain unclear. Common therapies include topical antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers that are effective in mild-to-moderate forms of VKC but are often ineffective in severe forms that require topical or systemic corticosteroids. Dependence on steroids is common with potential adverse effects both local, as increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, infection and cataract, as well as systemic ones, as reduction in child growth velocity. Alternative therapies are immunosuppressive drugs, like cyclosporine A and tacrolimus, that usually are effective but may also cause adverse effects. A promising therapeutic option is omalizumab, a recombinant anti-IgE humanized monoclonal antibody, currently used as add-on therapy for moderate to severe uncontrolled allergic asthma and chronic spontaneous urticaria.
