Here, we present two cases where we performed intraocular lens trans-scleral fixation using the double-needle Yamane technique, followed by penetrating keratoplasty and vitrectomy using a temporary Landers wide-field keratoprosthesis.Case presentation: Case 1 involved a 70-year-old man with an aphakic eye of bullous keratopathy and corneal opacity owing to multiple penetrating and endothelial keratoplasty, endophthalmitis, and herpetic keratitis. His visual acuity was counting fingers at 20 cm before surgery. Penetrating keratoplasty with vitrectomy and intraocular lens scleral fixation was performed using the double-needle Yamane technique, and 10 months postoperatively, his best-corrected visual acuity improved to 0.6, presenting a clear cornea. Case 2 involved a 62-year-old man who underwent penetrating keratoplasty twice for corneal perforation and therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty with vitrectomy for traumatic globe rupture, resulting in the loss of the intraocular lens. The patient exhibited graft failure, and his best-corrected visual acuity was 0.03. Utilizing a temporary Landers wide-field keratoprosthesis, we performed penetrating keratoplasty and intraocular lens trans-scleral fixation without complications. His final best-corrected visual acuity improved to 0.15 with a clear cornea.Conclusions: Trans-scleral fixation of intraocular lens with penetrating keratoplasty, using temporary Landers wide-field keratoprosthesis, yielded positive clinical outcomes without serious complications.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11324278/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141981805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to elucidate the diagnostic complexities through a unique case.Case presentation: A 42-year-old male presented with vision loss in the right eye, subsequent to flu-like symptoms following exposure to a stray kitten. Clinical examination revealed branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) in the right eye and neuroretinitis in the left, indicating concurrent ocular manifestations of CSD. Thorough investigations, including serological testing, ruled out alternative causes, highlighting the rarity of such coexisting ocular complications.Conclusions: The coexistence of BRAO and neuroretinitis in different eyes underscores the variable presentation of CSD. Recognition of infectious etiologies, particularly Bartonella, is paramount in diagnosing ocular vasculopathies. This case emphasizes the importance of considering Bartonella infection in patients with ocular vascular occlusions, especially in the context of recent cat exposure and systemic symptoms suggestive of CSD.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11324260/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141981803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first was diffuse anteroposterior endophthalmitis in the left eye that ended in visual loss and phthisis bulbi due to delayed initial diagnosis and established treatment, and the second was focal endophthalmitis in the right eye that preserved the organ and resulted in a vision of 20/20 due to early suspected diagnosis and rapid instituted treatment.Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first published case of a long asynchronous bilateral endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis caused by K. pneumoniae with a prolonged difference of 14 months in the onset of symptoms between one eye and another.

Over the next 4 months, there was waxing and waning of lesions which resolved and first appeared in the right eye and then the left. A diagnostic vitrectomy of the left eye revealed B-cell lymphoma. The patient elected for initial treatment with radiation therapy of both orbits. A new lesion was identified in her right eye nearly 18 months after starting maintenance therapy with ibrutinib, following which systemic chemotherapy with methotrexate was initiated.Conclusion: Elevated clinical suspicion for a malignant process is needed for patients with progressive new retinal lesions in older age.

NMOSD is often associated with thyroid pathologies such as Graves' disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation and hypertrophy of the extraocular muscles. Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), a critical complication of TED, may lead to irreversible visual loss. We report a case of DON complicated by NMOSD.Case presentation: We report a case of an autoimmune disease presenting as DON in a 44-year-old Japanese woman with a history of Graves' disease, who experienced reduced visual acuity and orbital pain. Brain magnetic resonance imaging disclosed hypertrophy of the rectus muscles, compressing the optic nerve bilaterally. Consequently, she was diagnosed with DON and underwent three courses of steroid semi-pulse therapy and left orbital decompression surgery, alleviating optic nerve compression. Nevertheless, the visual prognosis remained poor. A subsequent serological test showed positive for aquaporin-4 antibody. Treatment with satralizumab, an interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody, was initiated in conjunction with steroids to suppress the autoimmune response and reduce NMOSD relapse risk. Following this treatment, no NMOSD recurrences were reported.Conclusion: This case highlights the necessity of considering the possible coexistence of DON and NMOSD in patients with autoimmune diseases.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11324271/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141981804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Slit-lamp examination revealed a conjunctival hyperemia and a conjunctival nevus with 4 inclusion cysts, one of which was filled with purulent material. Fluorescein staining of the conjunctival epithelium was negative. Α mini-incision of the white cyst was performed using a 30 G needle, followed by bimanual drainage and topical treatment with tobramycin and moxifloxacin drops every 3 h for a week. A swab of the purulent drainage was positive for gram-positive flora. One week after the drainage of the cyst, the patient was asymptomatic and on slit-lamp examination, the 4 inclusion cysts were filled with a transparent liquid, there was not any vessel dilation and fluorescein staining was negative.Conclusion: Conjunctival inclusion cysts, although considered benign, can become infected and form a conjunctival abscess.

Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at the presentation was 20/400 in the right eye. Examination revealed a total macula-off, bullous, folded exudative retinal detachment and findings consistent with diffuse choroidal hemangioma. The patient was treated with a single injection of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agent bevacizumab and 10 fractions of EBRT of the right eye. Follow-up examination at 17 months demonstrated complete resolution of subretinal fluid and no evidence of choroidal elevation on B-scan. Final BCVA in the right eye was 20/1,000.Conclusion: This case uses simultaneous treatment with EBRT and bevacizumab in the treatment of diffuse choroidal hemangioma and associated exudative retinal detachment.
