Surgical outcomes after phacoemulsification are comparable with international benchmarks for good outcomes, with 85.4% of eyes achieving within 1 D of spherical equivalent of the refractive aim, 92.4% and 98.0% of eyes also achieving best-corrected visual acuities of 6/18 and better at 1 and 3 postoperative months, respectively. Unaided vision of 6/18 and better was also achieved in 85.4% and 85.9% at 1 and 3 postoperative months, respectively.

Schwannomas are rare neoplasms that originate from Schwann cells. We present a case report of schwannoma of the ansa cervicalis in a patient where preoperative imaging suggested thyroid pathology.A 25-year-old man presented to the otolaryngology department with a one-year history of an asymptomatic, anterior triangle neck swelling. Imaging and FNA suggested a cystic lesion of the thyroid. However, intraoperatively, the lesion was found between the right sternohyoid and thyrohoid and histology showed findings consistent with a diagnosis of schwannoma, determined to originate from the ansa cervicalis based on its anatomical position.Schwannoma of the ansa cervicalis is extremely rare and there have only been four reported cases in the literature. Schwannomas are often misdiagnosed and confused for other lesions. In our case report we add to the sparse literature on this pathology and highlight common pitfalls in diagnosis and discuss the principles of management of this rare condition.

Aim: To report a rare case of anterior hyaloidal fibrovascular proliferation (AHFVP) which occurred after cataract surgery on a non-vitrectomized diabetic eye. This complication resulted in vitreous haemorrhage and hyphaema following a YAG laser capsulotomy procedure. Method: A case report of a patient managed at the above eye department. Clinical records as indicated in the patient's case note were reported. Conclusion: Anterior hyaloidal fibrovascular proliferation is a complication which an eye surgeon should bear in mind when attending to diabetic eyes after cataract surgery. The potential danger of vitreous haemorrhage following YAG laser capsulotomy should also be borne in mind, as more centres in the country aspire to acquire a YAG laser machine to perform capsulotomy.
