Swept source optical coherence tomography detected serous retinal detachment, PEDs, increased subfoveal choroidal thickness, and fibrinous material under the neurosensory retina in the acute phase of hypertensive choroidopathy. En face OCT is useful for monitoring the evolution of confluent PEDs in hypertensive choroidopathy.
Uterine lipomas are very uncommon with symptoms that are similar to leiomyomas. Their diagnosis is always histological although some radiological methods may suggest their existence prior to surgery. They are sometimes associated with endometrial pathology, but there are no previous reported cases related to ovarian thecoma. Their prognosis is excellent. Clinical, radiological, morphologic, and immunohistochemical findings are shown which correspond to uterine lipoma associated with endometrial polyps and ovarian thecoma.
Sympathetic ophthalmia is a rare, but severe disease that can occur after resection of iridociliary melanoma. High-dose steroid therapy and supplementation with immunosuppressive agents early in the course of the disease was effective in resolving the condition.
The authors report on a student who developed bilateral photoretinitis as a result of failing to use a welding shield properly while arc-welding. The case is unusual in that no symptoms of photophthalmia occurred at any time. The course of the accident is described and the special features of the case are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
