A 61-year-old woman had bi lateral sensorineural hearing loss and difficulty with balance but no vertigo. Neurologic examination showed a right-sided peripheral facial nerve paresis, nystagmus on right and left lateral gaze, hypesthesia in the territory of the right trigeminal nerve with corneal hypesthesia, deviation to the right at toe walking, and positive Romberg sign. CT (Fig. 1 A) of the ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background : the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between corneal hysteresis (ch) and the corneal resistance factor (crf), which are both novel methods of analyzing ocular rigidity/elasticity, and various corneal characteristics, mainly corneal volume in normal subjects. methods : this cross-sectional study included 500 normal eyes...

UNLABELLED Cholesteatoma is a well-known infection resembling a pearl. Its histological aspect is of an epidermal cyst formation characterized by epidermal-keratinized tissue in the middle ear and mastoid that can migrate and erode to adjacent structures. AIM To verify epidermal cyst (cholesteatoma) growth through implantation of auricular skin of a mouse next to its femoral bone. STUDY DES...

PURPOSE To report a case of primary conjunctival epithelial inclusion cyst with atypical manifestation. METHODS A 66-year-old woman presented with a yellowish, subconjunctival mass extending from the corneal limbus to the medial canthus in the left eye. Clinical, radiological and histological assays were performed. RESULTS The mass was well-delineated, and the overlying conjunctiva was norm...

Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a sight-threatening infection of the cornea disease that often presents with a lengthy and not fully effective treatment. Current therapeutic options against Acanthamoeba are not very effective against the cyst. Calibrated trophozoite/cyst suspension was incubated with the same volume of serial dilutions of the Trigonella foenum graecum aqueous extract (200, 250, ...

BACKGROUND The presence of intraocular eyelashes following penetrating eye injury or ocular surgery is relatively uncommon. The response of the eye to intraocular eyelashes is variable. The eyelash may be symptomatic or may remain asymptomatic for long periods. OBJECTIVE We report a case with two intraocular eyelashes and an iris cyst after 2 years of asymptomatic period following penetrating...

PURPOSE This study investigated rabbit conjunctival and corneal epithelial cells to determine if they belong to two separate lineages. METHODS Rabbit corneal, limbal, and conjunctival epithelial cells were isolated and grown in Dulbecco's minimum essential media and 20% fetal bovine serum in the presence of mitomycin-treated 3T3 feeder cells. After reaching 80% confluence, 3T3 feeder cells an...
