It was first described in 1887. It is characterized mainly by limitation of ocular movement , with globe retraction. It may be associated with over shooting of the eye. DRS is one of congenital cranial dysinnervation dis orders (CCDD), which are congenital, nonprogressive, sporadic, or familial developmental anomalies of the cranial nerves characterized by abnormal eye, eyelid, and/or facial movements . Aim of the work : to study the surgical outcomes of Duane retraction sundrome (DRS) in Sohag University Hospital. Patients and Methods : A prospective non-randomized interventional clinical study done in Sohag University Hospital. Results : 35 patients had DRS out of 960 strabismus patients, only twenty patients were indicated for surgery. Marked improvement of primary ocular deviation, globe retraction and overshooting was noticed.","PeriodicalId":267572,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122095714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and Methods: The study included a total of 60 eyes of 60 patients with primary nasal pterygium. Visual and refractive in addition to topographic parameters (UDVA, CDVA, spherical equivalent, simulated keratometry \"Sim K-1, Sim K-2, K-max, K-mean\", CYL and Pachymetry) were evaluated preoperative and 3 months postoperative. Also, postoperative complications and recurrence rates were determined. Results: Postoperative UDVA and CDVA significantly improved (p<0.01 and p=0.03 respectively). Sphere, cylinder, and postoperative SE were changed significantly. Pterygium excision with conjunctival Autograft has an obvious effect in increasing K-1 (p<0.01), and decreasing K-2 (p=0.04) with a subsequent decrease in K-max (p=0.02) and increase in K-mean (p<0.01). The postoperative corneal pachymetry was not affected significantly (p=0.18). Recurrence was recorded in 2 cases (3.3%). Conclusion: The visual, refractive, and corneal topographic changes caused by pterygium improved significantly after successful pterygium surgery which decreases topographic astigmatism and reverses corneal flattening caused by pterygium. The conjunctival autograft technique is efficient and safe for pterygium excision. Further studies with longer follow-up periods are warranted to evaluate the long-term outcomes, particularly the recurrence rate.","PeriodicalId":267572,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology","volume":"671 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127660863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients and Methods : This study is prospective, non-randomized , and interventional. It involved 38 eyes of 38 individuals with primary nasal pterygium. The cases were classified into two groups in terms of the size of the pterygium. All patients were managed by surgical excision of pterygium with a bare sclera approach and intraoperative MMC application . Follow-up was done after one, three, and six months postoperatively. The following measurements were obtained using Pentacam: K1, K2, astigmatism, axis, anterior elevation map, and apical corneal thickness. Additionally, we studied the changes in UCVA, BCVA, refractive sphere , and cylinder. Results : The mean age of all cases was 56.16±5.1 years (48-64 years). The mean astigmatism decreased significantly from -4.6±3.1 preoperatively to -1.32±0.7 postoperatively. Large sized pterygium group has significant higher astigmatic values preoperatively and postoperatively . The mean K1 increased significantly (p<0.05) postoperatively, while there was no marked variation in mean K2 during 3 and 6 months postoperatively ( p>0.05). There was an obvious decrease in mean values of the anterior elevation map, apical corneal thickness, refractive sphere, and cylinder postoperatively. Both UCVA and BCVA improved significantly postoperatively.

The system recorded the mean cell density MCD (cell/mm2), mean cell area MCA (μm2), central corneal thickness CCT, and HEX percentage. Results : The population's mean age was 48.90±15.77.

Methods: Retrospective study performed in a tertiary care hospital and included 13 eyes of 13 children less than 18 years old presented with feathery corneal infiltration after trauma with organic material. Intrastromal voriconazole injection (200ug/0.1 ml) was done upon clinical diagnosis of fungal keratitis followed by topical antifungal eye drops. Reinjection was done after 48 hours of the 1st injection if no clinical improvement found. Outcome measures were the response to treatment, number of injections, duration of hospitalization and complications. Results: The mean age of children included was 7± 2.8 years (range: 4-12 years). Ten cases (77%) had clinical improvement after 24 hours of single intrastromal injection.

Patients and methods: This study is prospective and non-randomized. There were 400 participants total, and they were split into two groups. The first group included 200 patients of PACG, and the Second group included 200 patients of a healthy control group of the same age and sex. For measuring serum lipids for all cases, 12hrs fasting-blood samples were collected, and the enzymatic method (autoanalyzer) was used to assess it. The lipid profile includes all of the total cholesterol, triglycerides (TGL), high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) . According to the guidelines of National Cholesterol Education Program: Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP: ATP III), the reference values for lipids were taken. Hence, according to which Hypercholesterolemia is defined as total cholesterol greater than 200 mg/dl, Hypertriglyceridemia, when triglycerides greater than 150 mg/dl, LDL greater than> 130 mg/dl were considered high, and HDL less than 40 mg/dl will be considered low. Results: there was a statistical significance at (p-value < 0.01) for triglyceride. On the other hand, the control group had higher levels of HDL, LDL, and cholesterol than the PACG group. Statistically, there was a significant difference for both HDL and LDL levels at p-value <0.01. In addition, the serum CHOL, HDL, and triglyceride levels were positively correlated with the IOP levels in the study group, while the serum LDL was negatively correlated. In the control group, all parameters showed a positive correlation with the IOP level. The correlation was statistically significant only for LDL in the study group and HDL in the control group.
