The human eye, as an organ, can offer critical clues to the presence of systemic disease. This article discusses the various ophthalmologic manifestations of systemic disease that can be evident on examination by an emergency department provider, as well as some findings that can be discerned with specialty consultation.

Neural Network as an Ophthalmologic Disease Classifier

In this paper, we explore the neural network as a disease classifier. In our investigation, the sets of parameters describing glaucomatous and healthy eyes are taken. These sets represent the structure of the optical nerve disc which resides in a patient’s eye fundus image. As a separate case, the excavation can be seen in the image as well. These two sets describe the elliptical shape of both ...

Neuro-Behçets in a Child

We describe a case of neuro-Behçet disease diagnosed in a 12-year-old girl. This patient presented with recurrent oral ulcers, incontinence, spastic gait, blurry vision, and asymmetrical lower extremity hypertonia. Extensive testing revealed punctate lesions through the central nervous system, vitritis, papillitis, and uveitis. A thorough infectious and neoplastic workup was negative. She was t...

Orbital mass as manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis: an ophthalmologic diagnostic approach.

OBJECTIVES Orbital manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis is diverse and diagnosis is often difficult. This study aims to improve the diagnostic strategy in orbital Wegener. METHODS A review of the diagnostic process in patients in whom a diagnosis of orbital WG was considered. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were analysed, consisting of 15 patients with orbital WG, 11 with idiopathic orbi...
