Abstract
JXG is a benign histiocytic disorder that usually appears early in childhood but is also encountered in 13%-18% of cases in the second decade. The histiocytes usually stain positively for CD68 and negatively for S-100 and CD1a. Correctly distinguishing JXG from the more aggressive spectrum of Langer...

[Pyogenic scleral granuloma and uveitis in a patient with systemic manifestation of schistosomiasis]
Abstract
Abstract
The diagnosis of unilateral glaucoma essentially requires an etiologic investigation primarily to make sure that the deterioration is truly glaucomatous, thus specifically ruling out other optical neuropathies and papillary abnormality, such as tilted disc or drusen, which can mimic glaucomatous per...

Abstract
The presence of cilia did not adversely affect the outcome of treatment of the adjacent ulcer. Therefore, if there is no exposure of the entrapped cilium through the conjunctiva, as was in this case, conservative management of the ulcer and not trying to remove the cilium seems to be a good alternat...

Abstract
Prenatal diagnosis of oral cystic lesions is rare but is reported more frequently. The diagnosis of sublingual cyst is important because of the potential for airway obstruction. A rare case of a foregut duplication cyst associated with unilateral sclerocorneal microphthalmia is reported. The differe...

Pericardium plug in the repair of the corneoscleral fistula after Ahmed Glaucoma Valve explantation.
Abstract
We report four cases in which a pericardium (Tutoplast) plug was used to repair a corneoscleral fistula after Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) explantation. In four cases in which the AGV tube had been exposed, AGV explantation was performed using a pericardium (Tutoplast) plug to seal the defect previous...

Abstract
These results suggest that the morphologic features of staphylomas worsens as the patient ages. The progression from type II to type IX probably increases the mechanical tension on the macular area of highly myopic eyes, which then leads to myopic fundus lesions....

Abstract
MASS is considered a tumor-induced scleral degradation process. There is a significantly higher expression of MMP-2 in MASS-positive areas, indicating that MMP-2 is involved in the development of MASS and that MMP-2 is produced by scleral fibroblasts under the influence of tumor cells and/or tumor-i...

The medical history of a 46-year-old female patient with dark-blue sclerae showed repeated fractures of the extremity skeleton and clavicular following minor trauma up to the age of 15. The sclerae indicated osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), which leads to disrupted collagen synthesis due to various mut...

Abstract
En face OCT provides accurate imaging of retinal abnormalities in high myopia and allows width measurement and point-to-point localization of alterations. Thus, it can represent a noninvasive way to detect minimal changes during follow-up. Posterior detachment in the absence of a macular hole seems...

Abstract
A 74-year-old man underwent cataract extraction and 4 months later developed a macula-off retinal detachment. The retinal detachment was repaired via pars plana vitrectomy. Postoperatively, hyphema and dense vitreous hemorrhage developed. The hyphema recurred after anterior chamber washout. The hemo...

Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae , clinically present either as tuberculoid, borderline or lepromatous type. Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is an acute humoral response in the chronic course of lepromatous leprosy. Although very severe ENL reactions are know...

Abstract
Epibulbar osseous choristomas typically present, in the young, as a supero-temporal subconjunctival nodule and radiographic imaging often shows a densely radio-opaque fleck on the sclera--this often being misinterpreted as a parabulbar foreign body. Four illustrative cases are presented.
