|
Gustavo Ortiz-Morales, Cinthya Parra-Bernal, Irving Dominguez-Varela, Sara Gonzalez-Godinez, Jorge Aguilera-Partida, David Ancona-Lezama Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2022, 4:10 (9 February 2022) DOI:10.4103/pajo.pajo_131_21
Iridociliary melanoma represents a rare and aggressive variant of intraocular melanoma. We report the case of a 30-year-old male with iridociliary melanoma that started as a uveitis masquerade syndrome. Noninvasive, stereotactic radiosurgery with CyberKnife® at a dose of 27 Gy to the 90% isodose line was promptly performed. Six months after treatment, no postoperative complications were observed. The patient achieved local tumor control, maintained a 20/20 visual acuity, and no signs of systemic metastasis were observed. The versatility and outpatient nature of CyberKnife® make it an option to consider for the multidisciplinary management of these patients.

Original Article: Flower petal chop: Technique for nuclear cataract phacoemulsification |
|
Rajesh Subhash Joshi Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2022, 4:9 (9 February 2022) DOI:10.4103/pajo.pajo_130_21
Objective: To describe a phacoemulsification technique to face chalenging situations such as hard and leathery nucleus.
Methods: The present technique was successfully performed in 52 eyes of 48 patients, over a period of 3 months.
Results: None of the patients had zonular dehiscence or posterior capsular rupture. In 40 eyes, the cornea was clear on the 1st postoperative day, while in 12 eyes, the cornea cleared on the 4th postoperative day. Visual acuity improved to 20/20 (corrected distance visual acuity) at the end of the 3-week follow-up.
Conclusion: The flower petal chop technique is an effective and safe technique for phacoemulsification of hard and leathery cataracts.

Case Report: Paraneoplastic optic neuropathy with simultaneous retinal and choroidal metastasis in metastatic lung carcinoma: A rare entity |
|
Cheau Wei Chin, Kiet Phang Ling, Francesca Martina Vendargon Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2022, 4:7 (9 February 2022) DOI:10.4103/pajo.pajo_97_21
Paraneoplastic optic neuropathy (PON) is a rare phenomenon that is associated with lung carcinoma. In addition, retinal metastasis is extremely rare, accounting for <1% of intraocular metastasis. We hereby report a rare case of synchronous metastases from lung carcinoma to the choroid of the right eye and the retina of the left eye complicated with presumed PON. The presence of intraocular mass and optic disc swelling should prompt investigations for systemic malignancies.
