RESUMO
Eccrine poroma is a rare tumor arising from sweat glands with common location being soles and palms. We are reporting a case of 70-year male patient with large lower lid mass lesion. Owing to its location and history of growth, malignancy was suspected. Biopsy proved it to be eccrine poroma which is a benign lesion. Complete excision with lid reconstruction was done. Eccrine poroma, though rare, should be kept in the differential diagnosis of eyelid tumors. Owing to the risk of malignant transformation and difficulty in clinical differentiation between poroma and porocarcinoma, wide excision should be done.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To report visual and intraocular pressure (IOP) outcomes of 4 eyes in 2 patients with Weill Marchesani Syndrome having ocular fearures of spherophakia and secondary glaucoma who underwent fibrin glue assisted intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS: Detailed anterior and posterior segment evaluation assessing best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), IOP, central corneal thickness was done in all. Lensectomy, vitrectomy with glued Intrascleral fixation of 3 piece intraocular lens was done. Post operative BCVA and IOP were assessed. RESULTS: Visual acuity and IOP control improved post-operatively. CONCLUSIONS: Glued IOL implantation is an effective method to visually rehabilitate and control glaucoma in patients with Weill Marchesani Syndrome.

PURPOSE: To present a new surgical technique 'Scleral Sleeve Method' which would reduce the risk of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) tube related complications in patients undergoing AGV FP7 (New World Medical Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA) for refractory glaucoma. DESIGN: Prospective, Non-Randomized, hospital based interventional case series. SUBJECTS: A total of 16 eyes of adult patients (10 males and 6 females) with refractory glaucoma. METHODS: Instead of using sutures to fix the AGV tube to sclera, we devised a novel method of intra-scleral tube fixation by creating a scleral tunnel fashioned in form of sleeve. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Post-operative tube related complications. RESULT: There were no tube related complications such as exposure, extrusion or retraction in any of the cases. CONCLUSION: Use of scleral sleeve method for tube fixation, along with graft to cover the tube, will provide additional safety measure and reduce the risks of tube related complications.
RESUMO
Purpose. To study the effect and outcome of intravitreal Ziv-Aflibercept (IVZ) in treatment of Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSCR) related Choroidal Neovascular Membrane (CNVM). Methods. A case report of 48-year-old male patient treated with 1.25 mg/0.05 ml IVZ (total 3 doses at monthly intervals) in CSCR related CNVM. Pre- and posttreatment fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) were done to document response along with improvement in visual acuity. Patients. Single eye of a 48-year-old male patient. Results. Regression of CNVM was noted with improvement of macular contour and thickness on OCT and cessation of leakage on FFA. Visual acuity improved from 3/60,
RESUMO
Orbital Apex Syndrome (OAS) is a rare complication of Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus (HZO). We are reporting a case of 65-year-old male who developed OAS following HZO. Patient presented with vesicular rash in the typical dermatomal distribution, severe periocular congestion and limited ocular motility in all gazes along with loss of vision. Soft tissue inflammation improved within 4 weeks of initiation of treatment while ocular motility slowly improved over 3 months. Patient did not gain vision despite receiving systemic steroids and systemic anti-viral medication. Variable improvement in ocular motility and visual function in our patient points towards multiple mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of this disease, some of which are yet to be understood.

Xeroderma pigmentosum is a rare genetic disorder associated with various ocular malignancies. Here we report a single paediatric case of xeroderma pigmentosum with bilateral ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) presenting with diffuse lesion in one eye and a large mass in the other eye. Diffuse OSSN in one eye was treated with topical chemotherapy using mitomycin-C (0.04%) and the large OSSN in the other eye was treated with a combination of surgery and topical chemotherapy. Long-term follow-up and a multimodality treatment approach are necessary to identify and manage recurrences of OSSN in XP.
