Embedded Retinal Eyelash with Orbital Inflammation

Orbital cellulitis with exudative retinal detachment.

Exudative retinal detachment occurs extremely rarely with orbital cellulitis. TB can affect majority of the structures of the eye with marked variability of the lesions. We herein report a 40 year old male who presented with acute left eye protrusion with sudden diminution of vision. On examination there was proptosis of the left eye with restricted extraocular movements. Exudative retinal deta...

Advances in Orbital Inflammation

Idiopathic sclerosing orbital inflammation.

OBJECTIVE To perform a multicenter review of the clinical features and treatment of 31 patients with idiopathic sclerosing orbital inflammation. METHODS We included all patients with histologically confirmed idiopathic sclerosing orbital inflammation from 5 regional orbital centers. We reviewed the case notes to determine the clinical presentation, diagnostic features, and response to treatme...

Idiopathic granulomatous orbital inflammation.

Idiopathic granulomatous inflammation is regarded as a histopathologic variant of an orbital pseudotumor and has a similar clinical presentation and treatment. However, the differential diagnosis including sarcoidosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, trauma, and infection must be ruled out. We present a 77-year-old man with a biopsy-proven lacrimal gland granulomatous inflammation of an unknown origi...

Aqueous Garlic Extract Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Retinal Tissue of Rats with Diabetes Type 2

Background and Objective: Retinopathy is a common difficulty in diabetic subjects. Hyperglycemia damages the tissues through stimulation of oxidative stress and inflammation. Since the antioxidant function of garlic has been proven, in the current report the activity of aqueous garlic extract (AGE) upon the oxidative stress and inflammation in the retinal substances of rats with diabetes was in...
