OBJECTIVE
To report the findings of cystoid macular edema in a patient with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and other systemic features of mitochondrial myopathy.
METHODS
Observational case report.
METHODS
Retrospective review of the ophthalmic examination and genetic studies of a
Cerebral edema is a sometimes fatal complication of diabetic ketoacidosis which occurs unpredictably and when biochemical parameters show improvement. A case of a young, newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetic boy who developed this complication while receiving a low-dose continuous insulin
We experienced 9 patients with "painful ophthalmoplegia", which included 7 cases of the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (2 males and 5 females, with ages ranging from 36 to 65 years) and 2 cases of the orbital pseudotumor syndrome (2 females aged 42 and 68). The diagnosis of these syndromes was based upon
BACKGROUND
The reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy (RPL) syndrome with typical vasogenic edema in the occipital lobe and associated cortical blindness is a rare finding; however, the brainstem variant is even more infrequent. Etiologies discussed include blood pressure dysregulations, renal
Recognize a rare yet existing risk of severe visual loss as a postoperative complication of bilateral lung transplant.A 62-year-old male had undergone bilateral lung transplant for end-stage idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema overlap syndrome. The Four patients with focal brainstem ischemic strokes and various types of horizontal oculomotor disturbances have been studied clinically and radiologically. One had a six nerve palsy, one a unilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia, one a Fisher's one-and-a-half syndrome, and one a paramedian pontine
OBJECTIVE
Parvovirus B19 infection (PVB19) has been linked with a broad spectrum of clinical syndromes. In addition to erythema infectiosum and asymptomatic infection, other less common manifestations include transient aplastic crisis in patients with hemoglobinopathies, pure red cell aplasia and
We report a case of a 57 years old female presenting with proptosis, periorbital swelling and ophthalmoplegia, 4 days after an uneventful phacoemucification surgery. Visual acuity was 20/200, biomicroscopy showed mild corneal edema and anterior chamber cells with normal posterior segment. The
The authors describe the clinical, molecular genetic, and pathologic findings of a patient with corneal decompensation associated with the mitochondrial ophthalmoplegia plus (Kearns-Sayre) syndrome. Ultrastructurally abnormal mitochondria were observed and possibly implicate this organelle in the
Hyaluronic acid injection can lead to skin necrosis, visual loss, and other complications. The blindness with ophthalmoplegia and ptosis is a rare, but terrible and devastating complication. The disfigured appearance usually has significant impact on patient's social life. There is no standard
Ocular muscle imbalance is a common complication in fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex. Involvement can be direct; caused by entrapment of either the muscle or tendon in the fracture; or indirect, produced by central or peripheral damage to the cranial nerves supplying the muscles, massive
