A floating ball inside the eye in smartphone slit-lamp imaging: A case report of a pediatric vitreous cyst and a literature review.

An 8-year-old male patient was presented with a chief complaint of visual perception of a spherical object located in the visual field of his right eye. According to the patient's prior medical records, they exhibited a sole incident of minor visual impairment in the right eye, characterized by blurred vision (best-corrected visual acuity: 8/10), which first manifested during preschool assessments at the age of 5 years. During the fundoscopic examination of the patient, a pigmented, lobulated, and mobile vitreous cyst was observed in the right eye, whereas the examination of the patient's left eye revealed no abnormalities. A video of a smartphone slit-lamp imaging was also captured to facilitate subsequent examinations and patient follow-up.

Superior Oblique Muscle Extramedullary Plasmacytoma in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma and a Review of Literature.

Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell malignancy, is a systemic disease affecting various body organs. Plasmacytoma of bone and extramedullary disease (EMD) are presentations of MM. EMD is usually the sign of a more aggressive form of the disease. Herein, we report a patient with refractory MM presenting with extramedullary plasmacytoma in the superior oblique (SO) muscle. Case Presentation: A 51-year-old female presented complaining of gradual protrusion of the left eye and ocular pain from 20 days prior. She received bone marrow transplantation 1 year prior and was on a chemotherapy regimen for MM for the past 1 year. Ocular examination revealed proptosis of the left eye and mild limitations of adduction and elevation. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated remarkable enlargement of the left SO muscle with focal contrast enhancement. The patient underwent a biopsy and mass debulking. The histopathologic exam revealed fibromuscular tissue containing a neoplasm composed of sheets of plasmacytoid cells in a varying degree of differentiation with intervening scantly vascularized stromal components. The plasmacytoid cells were diffusely positive for a cluster of differentiation 138 (CD138), leading to a diagnosis of EMD involving the EOM and soft tissue of the orbit. The patient underwent palliative radiotherapy and a systemic workup. The PET-CT scan revealed involvement of the pelvic bone and left calf. Accordingly, the chemotherapy regimen was upgraded to reflect the aggressive nature of the disease. In the last follow-up, there was no sign of tumor reactivation in the orbital soft tissues. Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to her illness 7 months following her most recent presentation. Conclusion: Early recognition of disease recurrence is lifesaving in MM patients; ophthalmic manifestations should be seriously considered as a sign of MM activity.
