Crocodile tear syndrome (CTS) is a late complication of facial nerve palsy characterized by unilateral lacrimation in response to gustatory stimulation. We present 2 cases of patients diagnosed with CTS after recovering from unilateral idiopathic facial nerve palsy. Both patients underwent transconjunctival lacrimal gland incobotulinumtoxinA injection, with doses of 5-16 units. The patients were seen in clinic for post-treatment follow-up at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Outcomes were measured by treatment efficacy and adverse drug effects...

We report the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with metamorphopsia and progressive vision loss in the right eye. Fundus examination revealed an elevated, white-yellow mass in the peripheral inferotemporal retina, with massive retinal exudation, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and retinal detachment. Pars plana vitrectomy with tumor endoresection was performed, and a complete excisional biopsy of the lesion was obtained by removing the tumor through the anterior chamber. Histopathological analysis of the specimen confirmed a diagnosis of peripheral, focal, nodular retinal gliosis...

Surgically induced scleral necrosis (SISN) is an uncommon complication of ocular procedures. Cosmetic eye-whitening surgery involves conjunctival and Tenon's capsule dissection, cautery, and mitomycin C application. We report the case of a 36-year-old white woman referred to our clinic for severe pain, scleral inflammation, and necrosis in both eyes 9 years after I-BRITE, an elective eye-whitening procedure. An extensive workup yielded negative results. The patient improved with aggressive lubrication and topical and high-dose systemic prednisone (60 mg), with recurrence upon steroid tapering...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative face-down positioning (FDP) for up to 2 weeks is believed to be necessary for successful closure of macular holes. FDP, however, can be disabling and uncomfortable and is a major burden for elderly patients. The aim of this study was to investigate how nonsupine posturing and macular hole size affect anatomical and functional success of macular hole closure. METHODS: The medical records of patients with idiopathic macular holes who were treated surgically between 2016 and 2019 were reviewed retrospectively...

A 25-year-old woman with a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with Philadelphia chromosome (BCR 22q11.2-ABL1 (9q34)) presented with progressively worsening swelling and pain in her left upper eyelid of 3 months' duration. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a heterogeneously enhancing mass lesion in the left lacrimal gland. An incisional biopsy was performed; histopathology showed atypical lymphocytic cells, and flow cytometry revealed a similar immunophenotype to her previously diagnosed cancer. Her presentation was consistent with recurrence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the lacrimal gland, which can rarely be involved in relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia...

Cogan syndrome is a rare disease whose etiology is still undetermined. It typically affects men and women between the second and fourth decade of life. We report a case of Cogan syndrome with ocular and audio-vestibular involvement as a systemic manifestation in a 31-year-old woman.

We report the case of a 72-year-old white woman with blurring of vision in both eyes of 15 days' duration. She had a history of treatment for bilateral tuberculosis choroiditis 20 years before. She was diagnosed with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in the right eye and inflammatory choroidal neovascular membrane in the left eye, based on multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography, fundus fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography. The right eye received 3 intravitreal injections of aflibercept and showed complete resolution...

We present a novel approach for performing an Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy under general anesthesia with the patent in a seated position. We illustrate this approach in 2 cases, a young child and an adult patient with developmental delay. This technique may facilitate YAG capsulotomy in patients who cannot sit for the procedure.

A carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is a pathological connection between the internal or external carotid artery and the cavernous sinus venous system. Pregnancy has been proposed as a risk factor for spontaneous CCF, but the exact mechanism of risk is unknown. Overall, there are few published reports describing CCF in pregnancy. Study of this risk factor relationship is further complicated by potential ambiguity in diagnosing CCF, which may present as subtle, nonspecific findings on initial workup. We report a case of CCF during pregnancy in which the diagnostic process was notable for misleading, noninvasive, imaging studies...

Traumatic inferior rectus muscle rupture secondary to blunt injury in the absence of associated orbital or ocular fractures or injury is rarely encountered, and there are limited published reports on subsequent surgical repair. We present the case of a 74-year-old man with complete inferior rectus transection following a fall with facial strike. A computed tomography scan of the face was unremarkable. Surgical exploration and repair of the muscle was performed by hooking the inferior oblique muscle to identify the inferior rectus muscle...

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of phacoemulsification on posterior vitreous detachment formation in eyes with vitreomacular traction (VMT) with or without macular holes. METHODS: A retrospective search of the medical records was conducted to identify patients with VMT who underwent cataract surgery at Mass Eye and Ear from 2016 to 2021. Patient demographics, ocular comorbidities, and clinical characteristics were extracted from the record, and optical coherence tomography images were assessed to confirm VMT and the presence of a lamellar or full-thickness macular hole (FMTH)...

We present a case of presumed topiramate-induced retinopathy in a 58-year-old woman who presented with progressive, bilateral visual loss following a 3- to 4-year history of oral topiramate intake for migraine. She reported difficulty with light adaptation, hemeralopia, and color desaturation. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 1/60 (20/1200) in the right eye and 6/18 (20/60) in the left eye, and she performed poorly on Ishihara color plate testing. Anterior segment examination was normal; dilated funduscopy showed mild macular pigmentary changes...

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) can result from decreased perfusion to retinal and choroidal circulations meeting in the inner nuclear layer (INL) and outer plexiform layer (OPL). Although ischemia in these layers is rare, certain procedures place patients at risk for possible events, such as cardiopulmonary bypass, coronary angiography, and endovascular coil embolization. We report the case of a 70-year-old woman with a sudden-onset left paracentral scotoma following internal carotid endovascular repair...

A 59-year-old woman presented with a 24-hour history of severe, bilateral, painless vision loss starting 1 day after immediately sequential, bilateral, phacorefractive surgery with multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation at another institution. Best-corrected visual acuity was counting fingers at 1 foot in the right eye and 20/100 in the left eye. Slit-lamp evaluation showed a dense fibrin membrane on the anterior surface of the IOL and significant anterior chamber inflammation in both eyes. B-scan ultrasound revealed bilateral vitreous haze, without membrane formation...

PURPOSE: To identify temporal and geographic trends in private equity (PE)-backed acquisitions of ophthalmology and optometry practices in the United States from 2012 to 2021. METHODS: In this cross-sectional time series, acquisition data from 10/21/2019 to 9/1/2021 and previously published data from 1/1/2012 to 10/20/2019 were analyzed. Acquisition data were compiled from 6 financial databases, 5 industry news outlets, and publicly available press releases. Linear regression models were used to compare rates of acquisition...

Corneal neovascularization is a determinant of corneal graft survival and preservation of immune privilege after keratoplasty. We report the outcomes in 2 patients with failed corneal grafts who underwent mitomycin C (MMC) intravascular chemoembolization (MICE) in the affected eye. A 30-year-old woman with failed penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in the right eye was started on prednisolone acetate eyedrops. Graft sutures were removed, and bevacizumab was injected subconjunctivally. The eye remained intermittently painful, and MICE was performed on the main feeding vessel, with regression of the vessels apparent within the first day following the procedure...
