Case Report: Contact lens fitting in nonamblyopigenic anisometropia secondary to monocular aphakia caused by ocular trauma |

Anisometropia is characterized by difference between the refractive errors of the eyes and can be classified into refractive and axial. Aniseikonia is one of the possible consequences of anisometropias. As a general rule, aniseikonia tends to be less significant when we correct axial anisometropias with spectacles and refractive anisometropias with contact lens. One of the possible causes of refractive anisometropias is aphakia, which can be a result of ocular trauma. Amblyopia is a visual neurological disorder characterized by inadequate consolidation of visual acuity, due to insufficient visual stimulation. We present a case of contact lens fitting in a patient with significant difference in axial length between the eyes, but without the corresponding anisometropia, since the patient became aphakic after blunt trauma during childhood affecting the eye with the longest axial length, and probably as a consequence of the aphakia, she did not become amblyopic.

Case Report: Leukocoria from myelinated nerve fibers and retinoblastoma |
|
Omar Warda, Stephanie Lemaitre, Rodrigo Anguita, Mandeep S Sagoo, M Ashwin Reddy Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2021, 3:29 (24 August 2021) DOI:10.4103/pajo.pajo_92_21
We report the clinical findings and imaging in an 11-month-old male referred to the pediatric ocular oncology service for leukocoria. The diagnosis of concomitant myelinated nerve fibers and retinoblastoma group O/C was established. In this case, the association of these two conditions led to early diagnosis of retinoblastoma with successful treatment and good visual outcome.

Case Report: A rare association of congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles with keratoconus and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss: A co-incidence or some syndrome? |
|
Anupam Singh, Shrinkhal , Kavya Subramanian, Aarzoo Juneja, Aditi Saini, Barun Kumar Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2021, 3:27 (24 August 2021) DOI:10.4103/pajo.pajo_100_21
Congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles (CFEOM) is an inherited restrictive ocular motility disorder characterized by unilateral or bilateral horizontal and/or vertical gaze impairment with ptosis. Keratoconus is a bilateral asymmetrical corneal ecstatic disease with multifactorial etiology, including complex interaction of both genetic and environmental factors. We report a case of a 29-year-old female who presented with chief complaints of bilateral diminution of vision and drooping of eyelids since early childhood with a history of seizures for 1 year. Visual acuity at presentation was hand movement close to face with accurate projection of rays in both the eyes. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbit revealed partially empty sella, neurocysticercosis, and bilateral atrophy of extraocular muscles. On detailed examination, she was found to have CFEOM type 1A (CFEOM1A, autosomal dominant inheritance) with bilateral advanced keratoconus, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, bilateral presenile cataract, and neurocysticercosis. The association of CFEOM1A, keratoconus, and sensorineural hearing loss is not reported in the literature to date. Whether this association is co-incidental or part of some new syndrome needs to be evaluated further.

Case Report: Ultrabiomicroscopic imaging of choroidal metastases underlying an anterior scleritis |
|
Lucas A Garza-Garza, Raul E Ruiz-Lozano, Eugenia M Ramos-Davila, Carlos Alvarez-Guzman Pan Am J Ophthalmol 2021, 3:25 (24 August 2021) DOI:10.4103/pajo.pajo_95_21
Tumor-associated masquerading anterior scleritis (AS) is a rare syndrome with few case reports in the medical literature. Imaging studies play a crucial role in the correct diagnosis of this entity. Ultrabiomicroscopy (UBM) is a vital imaging tool in the study of anterior segment lesions and enables early diagnosis and treatment in these patients. We report the clinical and ultrabiomicroscopic findings of a patient with tumor-associated masquerading AS due to choroidal metastases from lung adenocarcinoma. A 65-year-old male patient with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma in remission presented with red eye and intense pain in his left eye refractory to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. An AS was diagnosed and after no treatment response, ocular ultrasound (US), and UBM were ordered. Choroidal metastases were evidenced underlying the exact area of scleral inflammation. While the characteristics of metastases by US match those previously reported in the literature, UBM reveals novel characteristics, such as irregular thickening, intralesional heterogeneity, and a “lumpy-bumpy” pattern.
