Lipemia retinalis is a rare and asymptomatic condition which occurs when high levels of triglycerides and chylomicrons are present in blood. We report a rare case of secondary hyperlipoproteinemia in a 27 year old type 1 diabetes patient who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis and this peculiar ocular manifestation. The fundoscopic abnormality and creamy white serum cleared as the level of chy...

Background: Steven-Johnson syndrome is one of life-threatening skin abnormality. SJS complication involve multiorgan disfunction such as mucosa, ocular, respiration, and digestive tract. Around 30- 50% patient experience chronic ocular sequel, which concludes progressive symblepharon, margo palpebral keratinization, trichiasis, entropion, corneal pannus, dry eye syndrome, persistent epithelial ...

The ocular pulse and applanation tension were measured with a recording applanation tonometer in 38 patients suspected of having internal carotid artery stenosis. Abnormalities of the ocular pulse amplitude, intraocular pressure, or combinations of these two measurements were found in 23 (82%) of 28 patients who were subsequently found to have angiographic evidence of 50% or more stenosis of on...

Conjunctival amyloidosis is a very rare disease, and its presence may be a sign of systemic amyloidosis. We present our ocular and systemic findings in a patient with conjunctival amyloidosis. A 43-year-old man had repeated subconjunctival hemorrhages (SCHs) for two years and was referred to the Chiba University Hospital.

Visual evoked potential (VEP) abnormality is widely used as an objective indication of visual pathophysiology in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. One major limitation of this test is that VEP abnormality is not specific to multiple sclerosis. In an attempt to explore ways of making the VEP test more specific, changes were measured in VEPs caused by superimposing upon the VEP stimulus either...

INTRODUCTION Our objective was to study jitter parameters using a concentric needle electrode (CNE) in the extensor digitorum (ED) and frontalis (FR) muscles. METHODS Twenty myasthenia gravis (MG) patients, mean age 44.5 years, were studied. Percutaneous (FR) and intramuscular needle (ED) stimulation approaches were used. Jitter was expressed as the mean consecutive difference (MCD). The filt...
