BACKGROUND A 4.5-month-old male colony-bred Indian rhesus macaque was presented for presumed trauma to the right eye. The globe was centrally distended 5 mm, with apparent hyphema and moderate to severe corneal edema. Surgical enucleation was performed. The initial histopathology report concluded chronic keratitis. Nearly 3 years later, a diagnosis of goniodysgenesis was made. The eye was sent ...

A case is reported of bilateral aspergillus endophthalmitis in an infant without any detectable systemic predisposition or focus of infection. The patient is the youngest recorded case of endogenous aspergillus endophthalmitis so far, with an onset of symptoms at the age of 15 days. After histopathological confirmation of the aetiology by enucleation of the atrophic eye, systemic amphotericin B...

A 15-month-old boy was referred to the Oculoplastic Clinic at Labbafinejad Medical Center for treatment of a bulging and deformed blind left eye. He was the result of a normal full-term pregnancy and there had been no ocular discharge at birth. Examination of the left eye revealed a keratinized and ectatic cornea bulging 9 mm anteriorly (Fig. 1). The right eye had a chorioretinal coloboma. Due ...

Ophthalmomyiasis rarely occurs worldwide, and has not been reported in Korea. We present here a case of ophthalmomyiasis caused by Phormia sp. fly larva in an enucleated eye of a patient. In June 2010, a 50-year-old man was admitted to Dankook University Hospital for surgical excision of a malignant melanoma located in the right auricular area. He had a clinical history of enucleation of his ri...

background: some types of implants used for orbital implantation have side effects and complications. in this study we have evaluated beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-tcp: chronos) granules as an orbital implant.   methods: eighteen rabbits randomly allocated to four groups. right eye enucleation performed in groups i to iii followed by filling with autologous bone particles (n=5), a mixture of aut...

F Case 1 is a 20 year old woman, with known amblyopia o the left eye, who developped a massive intraocular hemorrhage leading to refractMy glaucoma, necessitating enucleation. Case 2 concerns a 68 year old woman also presenting a sevex intravitreal hem&age associated with a history of progressive visual loss over the past weeks. Repeated ultrasound examinations in case 1 showed a macular “staph...

Due to an increase in UV light exposure, conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma has become increasingly more prevalent throughout the world. However, primary intraocular invasion from conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma still remains rare and is therefore often misdiagnosed. Larger, more aggressive lesions that invade the eye are frequently not amenable to standard excision and cryotherapy. For ...

ABSTRACT: Dermacentor nitens Neumann is the most common tick species infesting horses in main Brazilian biomes. It has a predilection to attach horse ears, nasal diverticulum, perineal and perianal regions. The infestations can generate severe damage anemia, also acts as vector of Babesia caballi (Nuttall Strickland), causative agent equine babesiosis. Our study describes unusual parasitism sit...
