This condition is particularly noteworthy in pediatric populations, especially in preterm infants who are at risk for various metabolic disorders.Case presentation: We report a case of LR in a 44-day-old preterm infant identified during routine retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening. Unusual retinal findings led to metabolic investigations, revealing elevated TG levels confirming LR. The infant was managed with a dietary regimen including skimmed milk, resulting in a substantial decrease in TG levels and complete resolution of the retinal changes.Conclusion: Fundus examination serves as a portal to the systemic health of an individual, enabling rare identification of LR, indicative of underlying dyslipidemia. This case underscores the necessity for comprehensive metabolic screening in preterm infants, particularly during ROP assessments. Furthermore, it emphasizes the effectiveness of dietary interventions in managing LR. The favorable outcomes stress the significance of early detection of LR in pediatric patients and implementing nutritional strategies to enhance metabolic well-being, thereby averting severe hypertriglyceridemia complications.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11842086/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143466935","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}

Scleritis is a severe ocular inflammation linked to systemic diseases, potentially vision threatening, and involving immune responses similar to phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis. This case report discusses a patient with a history of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 infection who primarily developed phlyctenular conjunctivitis and later progressed to nodular scleritis.Case presentation: A 66-year-old female presented with pain, redness, and a foreign body sensation in her left eye for 2 days. Initial treatment for epidemic keratoconjunctivitis with tobramycin-dexamethasone improved her symptoms. However, 3 weeks later, she developed a conjunctival phlyctenule. Diagnostic tests, including blood work and conjunctival swabs, were conducted. While most tests were negative, HSV-2 IgG was positive. The patient failed topical corticosteroid monotherapy; however, she responded to oral valacyclovir. Follow-up examinations showed significant improvement, with resolution of the conjunctival phlyctenule and nodular scleritis, and her best-corrected visual acuity returned to 20/20.Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering HSV-2 in atypical presentations of phlyctenular conjunctivitis and scleritis. The patient's response to antiviral therapy underscores the potential role of HSV-2 in such ocular inflammation. Thorough infectious workups and alternative treatment approaches are crucial in managing unconventional cases. Experimental treatments based on laboratory findings can be valuable for patients preferring conservative management, emphasizing the need for close follow-up and personalized care in ocular inflammatory diseases.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":"15 1","pages":"777-783"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11563655/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142615573","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}

During a slit-lamp examination, trichiasis was observed, but the patient had no foreign body sensation or itching. He was diagnosed with cataract and underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery. During the surgery, a white, wriggling worm was discovered in the conjunctival sac and removed. It was later identified as Thelazia callipaeda. The surgical eye was thoroughly washed and received anti-inflammatory medication postoperatively. No recurrence or new symptoms were reported during the 3-month follow-up period.Conclusions: Thelazia callipaeda infection can be asymptomatic and incidentally discovered. A detailed preoperative examination, such as turning over the upper and lower eyelids to check the conjunctival sac, is necessary before the surgery. When a worm is discovered during surgery, it is crucial to remove it completely and thoroughly clean and disinfect the conjunctival sac.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":"15 1","pages":"859-864"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11842018/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143467051","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}

We describe a case of LHON plus with a rare mutation, which also caused dystonia.Case presentation: An 18-year-old male patient developed symptoms of dystonia at the age of 15 years. Two years later, he noticed decreased visual acuity and central scotoma in the left eye. One month later, the same symptoms occurred in the right eye. Although the optic discs in both eyes revealed mildly redness and edematous change, no abnormal findings were detected on fluorescence fundus angiography and orbital magnetic resonance imaging. Mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) sequencing detected the m.14487 T>C mutation. From clinical course and fundus findings, the case was diagnosed LHON. The optic nerve gradually atrophied and central scotoma remained.Conclusion: The m.14487 T>C mutation is one of the causative mutations in patients with dystonia or Leigh encephalopathy and a minor mutation in patients with LHON. However, in the present case, ocular symptoms were more severe than systematic symptoms and the disease course was consistent with LHON. For the above reasons, this case can be diagnosed as LHON plus. Whole mtDNA sequencing is important in diagnosing LHON if none of the three major mutations are detected.","PeriodicalId":9635,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Ophthalmology","volume":"15 1","pages":"852-858"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11842009/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143467055","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}
