We describe a case of silicone oil deposition at the donor-recipient interface after DSAEK in a patient with prior silicone oil tamponade.Case presentation: A 42-year-old man with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy previously underwent traumatic cataract surgery, pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil injection, subsequent oil removal, and implantation of an angle-supported anterior chamber intraocular lens. He later underwent anterior chamber lens explantation, Artisan iris-claw lens implantation, and DSAEK. By postoperative day 9, multiple silicone oil droplets were observed at the donor-recipient interface, with a further increase in size and number by day 14. An anterior chamber washout was performed; however, droplets persisted at the surgical interface.Conclusion: This case highlights the risk of silicone oil entrapment at the DSAEK donor-recipient interface in eyes with prior vitreoretinal surgery and silicone oil tamponade. Thorough removal of residual silicone oil before donor lenticule insertion is essential to minimize interface-related complications.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":"17 1","pages":"380-386"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13124131/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147763514","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}

However, these approaches require dedicated instruments and may involve risks such as residual PFCL retention, thermal injury, or increased cost. This study presents a case of modified kebab technique using a 27-gauge illuminated light pipe to safely retrieve a dropped lens nucleus, without requiring the use of PFCL or diathermy.Case presentation: A patient who experienced a posterior capsule rupture with a dropped nucleus during cataract surgery subsequently underwent pars plana vitrectomy using a 27-gauge three-port system on the following day. After core vitrectomy and removal of the vitreous surrounding the dropped nucleus, the nucleus was gently brought closer using suction from the vitreous cutter. The tip of the 27-gauge light pipe was inserted into the nucleus, advanced to fully penetrate it, and used to establish firm fixation. The nucleus was then elevated into the anterior chamber and removed via phacoemulsification while being rotated. Postoperatively, no complications were observed, and the patient's visual acuity improved from 20/100 (logMAR 0.7) to 20/20 (logMAR 0.0) at 1 month after surgery.Conclusion: This modified kebab technique using a 27-gauge illuminated light pipe allows nucleus fixation and retrieval in selected cases, without the routine use of PFCL or diathermy. This simple technique may serve as a practical salvage option, particularly when dedicated instruments are unavailable.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":"17 1","pages":"248-253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13002234/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147497747","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 rare case report illustrates the diagnostic complexities posed by orbital cellulitis and concomitant CCF.Case presentation: A 52-year-old male with a recent trauma of dehiscent internal carotid artery (ICA) presented initially with bacteremia, fever, tachycardia, and leukocytosis. Based on the orbital symptoms, including proptosis, chemosis, and restricted extraocular in the right eye, the patient was diagnosed with orbital cellulitis. His ocular manifestations deteriorated despite the improvement of systemic symptoms, signs, and laboratory results during systemic antibiotic treatment. A faint bruit and pulsatile proptosis were found in the right eye; thus, neuroimaging was performed. Magnetic resonance venography and computed tomography angiogram demonstrated a direct CCF with arterialized flow in the cavernous sinus, and superior ophthalmic vein dilation. Endovascular coil embolization successfully resolved the CCF, yet the patient experienced permanent vision loss in the affected eye due to an afferent pupillary defect, a neurological sequelae attributed to either orbital cellulitis, CCF or both.Conclusion: The significant overlap in symptoms of orbital cellulitis and CCF complicates diagnosis. When two diseases coexist, the diagnosis becomes more complex. This rare case report highlights that CCF should be considered a potential concurrent pathology in patients with head and neck trauma presenting with orbital cellulitis. In addition, CCF can be considered in trauma patients exhibiting dehiscent ICA, irrespective of orbital symptoms, and prior to performing neuroimaging.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":"17 1","pages":"188-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12975148/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147431051","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}

A small retinal exudate in the inferonasal region in the right eye and 2+ vitreous haze in the left eye were seen. Systemic examinations were performed, but no abnormal findings were detected. The patient subsequently had frequent ocular inflammatory recurrences; thus, Behçet's disease was suspected, although no characteristic extraocular symptoms were noted. In addition to colchicine, adalimumab was administered, but the patient still showed frequent ocular inflammatory attacks. The patient subsequently developed arthritis and was diagnosed with axial SpA. Despite treatment with infliximab (TNF alpha inhibitor) or secukinumab (IL-17 inhibitor), ocular inflammatory attacks persisted, resulting in decreased visual acuity attributed to complicated cataracts. After cataract surgery, oral tofacitinib, a JAK inhibitor, was initiated. Afterward, ocular attacks did not occur for more than 3 years, and her visual acuity remained at 1.0 in both eyes.Conclusion: We examined a case of panuveitis with coexisting SpA refractory to TNF inhibitor and IL-17 inhibitor, in which JAK inhibitor was successfully effective.

His vision remained 20/20, with a persistent scotoma over 2 months. Severe thinning of the inner nuclear layer and marked attenuation of the outer plexiform layer in an arcuate segment inferior to the fovea were detected with optical coherence tomography (OCT). OCTA revealed a flow void in the deep capillary plexus inferior to the fovea and cessation of the blood flow distal to the occluded retinal arteriole.Conclusion: This case highlights the deep capillary plexus's unique vulnerability to COVID-19-related occlusion, likely due to its high autoregulatory demand and dense vascular architecture.
