At presentation, the best-corrected visual acuity was 20/60 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Ocular examination revealed bilateral asymmetrical non-axial proptosis with Hertel exophthalmometer reading of 24 mm in the right eye and 22 mm in the left eye. There was mild inferior displacement in both eyes. Apart from mild exposure keratopathy in the right eye, both anterior and posterior segment examinations were not remarkable. Orbital computerized tomography (CT) scan showed soft tissue masses in the superotemporal quadrants of both orbits associated with lytic bone lesions. An orbital biopsy confirmed that it was metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Ultrasound abdomen revealed multifocal HCC with underlying cirrhosis. We planned for further investigations such as hepatitis serology, alfa-fetoprotein, and CT abdomen, but he refused to proceed with investigations and treatment. \u0000Conclusion: Orbital metastasis, more so as a bilateral involvement, is a rare phenomenon. It may present as an initial manifestation of undiagnosed systemic cancer. Orbital metastasis should be considered when diagnosing patients with bilateral proptosis, and orbital biopsy is crucial for histopathological diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":39864,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"17 1","pages":"302-310"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42895794","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}

They often remain close by until their follow-up visit for their silicone tube removal, which contributes to a large financial burden on them and their families. Hence, reducing the time for which silicone tubes remain in situ following external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) provides significant benefits to patients. Furthermore, this is the first comparative study which has successfully demonstrated the earliest timeframe for which silicone tubes can be removed following DCR in the medical literature. \u0000Methods: A randomized controlled trial consisting of 144 patients was designed to compare patient outcomes after early (2 weeks postoperatively) versus standard (6 weeks postoperatively) removal of silicone stents. The success of their procedures was determined when patients were assessed both symptomatically and anatomically at their 6-month follow-up. \u0000Results: The surgical success in both groups was high at 97.8% collectively in both groups and there were only a small number of patients who were lost to follow-up (5 patients) at 6 months. There was no statistical difference at removing silicone stents at 2 or 6 weeks postoperatively. \u0000Conclusion: These results were consistent with our pilot study, which showed no statistical difference in long-term success following silicone tube removal at 2 and 6 weeks.","PeriodicalId":39864,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44579149","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}

The history, clinical presentation, investigations including smears, cultures, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and confocal microscopy, the tumultuous course of the infection, and outcome of TPK have been discussed for two cases having this unusual and severe emerging infection. These two cases demonstrate that Pythium keratitis can present as a central reticular or peripheral guttering corneal ulcer with dense infiltration. PCR is a valuable tool for diagnosis. Pythium keratitis has a severe and prolonged clinical course. Response to antibiotics is modest and needs to be closely monitored. It can present with inflammation after TPK that mimics the dreaded recurrence of the infection. Pythium keratitis presents variably and can be suspected from typical clinical and microbiological findings. It needs protracted treatment with close follow-up. Although the infection is known torecur in the therapeutic graft, not all recurrences are what they seem.","PeriodicalId":39864,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41884045","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}

Extension of infection from the paranasal sinuses is the most common etiology for orbital cellulitis. Intracranial complications of orbital cellulitis include meningitis, subdural empyema, brain abscess, and cavernous sinus thrombosis. \u0000Case presentation: A 33-year-old man presented with acute onset of foul-smelling mucopurulent nasal discharge and swelling of the left eye followed by altered sensorium. On examination of the left eye, chemosis, eyelid edema, and proptosis were present. Computed tomography (CT) of the brain revealed non-axial left proptosis with inflammatory reticulation in the intra- and extraconal fat alongside sinusitis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain confirmed the CT findings and additionally showed meningitis and subdural empyema along the left frontoparietal convexity with parenchymal signal changes, suggesting venous infarction in the left frontal lobe. Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) confirmed thrombus in the frontal polar vein on the left side, suggesting septic isolated septic cortical venous thrombosis (ICVT) as a complication of orbital cellulitis. Cerebrospinal fluid showed polymorphonuclear cell pleocytosis with elevated protein and lowered sugar. Blood and conjunctival swab cultures were negative. He was subsequently treated with intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics and antifungals to which he responded and was discharged in stable condition. \u0000Conclusions: Our case highlights the presentation of septic ICVT complicating orbital cellulitis and paranasal sinusitis. It also underscores the higher sensitivity of SWI as a crucial tool in diagnosing ICVT. Appropriate and prompt medical treatment in orbital cellulitis can prevent further complications.","PeriodicalId":39864,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45624235","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}

There was no response to medical therapy and all underwent bilateral corneal transplantation. Case one additionally had recurrences in the graft and underwent repeat keratoplasties and eventually keratoprosthesis. Microsporidial stromal keratitis is a possible cause of keratitis in cases of very long-standing, indolent, culture-negative, deep stromal corneal infiltrates. So far, this infection has been reported as unilateral; however, we report these cases of bilateral infection, which is rare.
