RESUMO
AIM: To report silicone oil tamponade induced vasculitis in the early post operative period - a rare manifestation of 'Toxic Posterior Segment Syndrome' after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 50-year-old gentleman presented with vasculitis after a pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade on the first post-operative day. He was started on oral steroids (1â mg/ kg) tapered sequentially every week. All signs of vasculitis resolved over a period of one month after which the silicone oil was removed. The patient maintained a visual acuity of 20/90 even after 3 months. There was no recurrence of vasculitis observed thereafter. CONCLUSION: Silicone oil induced vasculitis is a rarely described entity, especially as a manifestation of toxic posterior segment syndrome. This differential must be kept in mind even on the first post-operative day in cases where silicone oil has been used for tamponade.

INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis can involve any organ in the body including ocular tissue of which the uveal tissue is most commonly infected. Choroidal involvement ranges from choroidal tubercles to granulomas. This is one of the few cases of a solitary choroidal granuloma with no other systemic symptoms in an immunocompetent child. METHOD: A case report. RESULTS: A 12-year-old female, presented with diminution of vision in the left eye for a month. The anterior segment of her left eye was normal. A fundus examination revealed an isolated orangish-yellow choroidal mass, 4 DD in size, involving the posterior pole with overlying subretinal exudation. CT scan of the thorax showed large pulmonary, cervical and pancreatic lymph nodes, along with lytic lesions of the thoracic vertebrae. Excision biopsy of the cervical lymph nodes showed caseating granulomas with no e/o malignancies on histopathology. The patient was started on anti-tubercular therapy. Six months after the treatment, the lesion had reduced in size and her vision had improved. CONCLUSION: Isolated choroidal tuberculomas can be present in eyes with little associated ocular inflammation and no other symptoms of systemic tuberculosis. High suspicion, early diagnosis and rapid initiation of medication are important for the treatment of ocular and systemic tuberculosis.

PURPOSE: To compare the outcomes of pterygium surgery by using an inferior rotational autograft and a conventional superior conjunctival autograft. METHODS: This was a prospective interventional comparative study of 85 eyes of patients who were divided into two groups of 45 and 40. Standard techniques of both procedures were performed by a single surgeon. Astigmatism, recurrence rates, time taken, and other complications were compared. RESULTS: All the subjects were in the age group 53 ± 7.56 (40-74) years. Demographic data and type of pterygium were comparable in the two groups. In the rotational group, the preoperative astigmatism was - 2.14 ± 1.36 D, which decreased in 1 week to 1.42 ± 1.11 D, in 1 month to - 1.13 ± 0.99 D, in 3 months to 0.91 ± 0.72 D, and in 6 months to 0.81 ± 0.85 D (P < 0.05 each). Preoperative astigmatism in the conventional group was - 2.63 ± 1.47 D, which decreased to - 1.43 ± 1.04 D in 1 week, -1.18 ± 0.85 D in 1 month, -1.07 ± 0.81 D in 3 months, and - 1.01 ± 0.78 D in 6 months (P < 0.05 each). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of astigmatism at any follow-up visit (P < 0.05). Complications like dellen, graft edema, and superficial vascularization were seen in both groups. The rotational group had one recurrence (2.86%). No recurrence was noted in the conventional group. None of the complication rates was significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Inferior rotational conjunctival autografting is a good technique for management of pterygium. It has a profile similar to that of conventional conjunctival autograft.

Cysticercosis is caused by cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form of pork tapeworm. In intraocular cysticercosis the cyst enters the subretinal space via the choroid and then gains entry into the vitreous cavity by piercing the retina. It is well established that the cyst can incite extensive intraocular inflammation. Other complications such as epiretinal membrane and cataract have been reported in the literature. Thus far, epiretinal membrane in intraocular cysticercosis has been reported at the site of entry of the cyst into the vitreous cavity. The data on the extent of epiretinal membrane is sparse. We report a rare case of migrating subretinal cysticercosis with extensive epiretinal membrane and subretinal fibrosis.

Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) present in varied manners which in turn necessitate their removal in majority of the cases. A stone foreign body can remain inert inside the eye for years. Retinal detachment in eyes following penetrating trauma with an IOFB is common, but a combination of fresh rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in an eye with a longstanding inert stone foreign body is extremely rare. We report a case of a 50-year-old male with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a longstanding stone foreign body, where we managed such a scenario with a chandelier-assisted, sutureless, scleral buckle without removing the stone foreign body.
