Adamantiades-Behçet's disease is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disorder involving the small and large vessels. Typical loci of manifestations are the mucous membranes, skin and eyes, as well as the joints and central nervous system. Other organs are not commonly involved. We present two patients, one with ocular and the other with mucocutaneous manifestation of Adamantiades-Behçet's disease....

PURPOSE To present various forms of uveitis and/or retinal vasculitis attributed to Bartonella infection and review the impact of this microorganism in patients with uveitis. METHODS Retrospective case series study. Review of clinical records of patients diagnosed with Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana intraocular inflammation from 2001 to 2010 in the Ocular Inflammation Department ...

Case presentation: Ten year-old female presented whit visual loss and ocular pain with extraocular movements in the left eye papilledema. After 15 days, it progressed to right eye. No other neurological symptoms were observed. The case was investigated optical nerve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which evidenced enhancement of perineural involvement, brain spinal cord MRI without demyelinati...

BACKGROUND Stevens-Johnson syndrome is often associated with blinding ocular surface cicatricial sequelae. Recent reports have described markedly improved clinical outcomes with the application of amniotic membrane to the ocular surface during the acute phase. Here we describe the clinical outcome of a patient with acute Stevens-Johnson syndrome and severe ocular surface involvement in whom the...

A 72-year-old Chinese male presented with unilateral left eye panuveitis, then diagnosed as bilateral T-cell primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (T-PVRL) through chorioretinal biopsy and immunohistochemistry. No CNS nor systemic involvement was found at diagnosis. Despite initiating intravenous intrathecal chemotherapy intravitreal methotrexate, the disease eventually spread to fellow subsequent rec...

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a known great mimicker responsible for melioidosis. Ocular involvement in melioidosis unusual, with eyelid and orbital infection as the commonest presentation. We describe 41-year-old, healthy woman who complained of reduced vision her left eye. On examination, eye was 6/9. There evidence occlusive retinal vasculitis on fundoscopy examination. Fundus fluorescein ang...

Depletion of Wnt signaling is a major requirement for the induction of the anterior prosencephalon. However, the molecular events driving the differential regionalization of this area into eye-field and telencephalon fates are still unknown. Here we show that the BMP pathway is active in the anterior neural ectoderm during late blastula to early gastrula stage in zebrafish. Bmp2b mutants and mo...

Running title: Corneal injury by formic acid The authors declare no conflict of interest and do not have any commercial interest regarding this work. 2 Abstract We describe a case of severe, bilateral ocular injury by concentrated formic acid in a 38-year-old male. Complete epithelial loss, stromal edema, conjunctival hyperemia, and limbal involvement were noted initially. During the healing ph...
