Tuberculous Orbital Abscess Associated with Thyroid Tuberculosis

Purpose: To report an unusual presentation of tuberculosis. Case Report: A six-year old boy presented with left upper lid swelling of 15 days′ duration and an asymptomatic midline neck mass from 2 months ago. Imaging studies, and microbiologic tests which demonstrated acid-fast bacilli in the fine needle aspirate of the thyroid mass, both confirmed a diagnosis of cold tuberculous thyroid abscess with presumed hematogenous spread to the orbit. The patient demonstrated marked improvement of both lesions with antitubercular drugs. Conclusion: This case illustrates a very rare association of orbital and thyroid tuberculosis

Non-Migraneous Visual Hallucination

Visual hallucinations have been reported in some patients suffering from migraneous disorders. This clinical study included five patients who presented with complaints of flashes of bright light and mild headache off and on lasting for a few minutes

Ganglion Cell Layer Complex and Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Measurements in Pituitary Adenoma Cases

Axonal and neuronal degeneration are important features of optic chiasm compression in cases of pituitary adenoma. The study was carried out to evaluate and compare the regional relationships between GCL-IPL( Ganglion cell layer-Inner Plexiform Layer) and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) thickness as measured by spectral domain Ocular Coherence Tomography( SD-OCT) in pituitary adenoma cases and its correlation with visual field (VF)

Traumatic Carotid Cavernous Fistula Varied Neuro-Ophthalmic Manifestations and Treatment by Detachable Balloons

Six patients of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) with varied neuro-ophthalmic symptoms and signs are described. Clinical diagnosis of CCF was confirmed by neuroimaging and digital substraction angiography

Monocular Visual Field Defect (VFD) Presenting Feature of Neurovascular Disorder

Moyamoya disease (MMD) and Takayasu arteritis (TA) are occlusive neuro-vascular disease of brain. Our cases have monocular VFD as sole manifest of these vasculopathies
