“…Studies[219] have used the CLEK grading classification for staging keratoconus. The K-readings were obtained directly from the topographer (from an axial map) and grouped into mild, moderate, or advanced based on steepest K-reading.…”

Background:Knowledge of the cone characteristics for the different stages of keratoconus may potentially assist practitioners in diagnosing and managing keratoconic patients.Aim:This study aims to determine if any correlation exists between the central keratometric readings and the cone characteristics for the different stages of keratoconus.Setting:A university eye clinic.Materials and Methods:In this retrospective study, a saturated sample of 190 eyes from 106 cases of previously diagnosed keratoconic patient files was analyzed. The stage of keratoconus and cone characteristics, namely, cone location, cone decentration, topographical patterns, and morphology were analyzed using an Oculus 3M corneal topographer.Results:Analysis revealed a correlation between cone decentration and stage of keratoconus (P = 0.007). The association was found to exist when central K-readings were between 45D and 52D and with an apical cone decentration of 3–4 mm. No correlations were obtained for the stage of keratoconus and the cone location; topography and morphology.Conclusion:It can be concluded that cone apices are not central in all stages. Practitioners should consider the peripheral cornea when diagnosing and managing keratoconic patients. No correlation between stage, morphology or topography was respectively revealed.

“…Extension of orbital tuberculosis into the cranium with extradural abscess formation can occur if the condition is allowed to progress (Fig. 2) [18], [23], [24], [25]. Caseating granulomas, soft tissue tuberculomas, and diffuse orbital involvement can also occur in both children and adults [20], [26], [27].…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that most commonly affects the lungs. However, extrapulmonary manifestations of TB can affect the eye and surrounding orbital tissues. TB can affect nearly any tissue in the eye, and a high index of suspicion is required for accurate diagnosis. Systemic anti-tuberculosis treatment is required in cases of ocular TB, and steroids are sometimes necessary to prevent tissue damage secondary to inflammation. Delays in diagnosis are common and can result in morbidities such as loss of an affected eye. It is important for ophthalmologists and infectious disease specialists to work together to accurately diagnose and treat ocular TB in order to prevent vision loss. This article reports the various known presentations of orbital and external ocular TB and reviews important elements of diagnosis and treatment.
