متن کاملIdiopathic sclerotic inflammation of the orbit with left optic nerve compression in a patient with multifocal fibrosclerosis.
We present the MR imaging findings in a 43-year-old male patient with bilateral idiopathic sclerosing inflammation of the orbit. Bilateral enhancing retrobulbar masses, with concentric compression of the retrobulbar segment of the left optic nerve, were seen. MR imaging proved to be the only means to distinguish between the different intraorbital structures and to determine the exact site of op...
متن کاملBilateral Multifocal Choroiditis and Optic Neuropathy in a Patient With AIDS: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Here we describe the case of a young man with HIV infection who presented with bilateral multifocal choroiditis, optic neuropathy, and altered sensorium. In the literature, most cases of multifocal choroiditis in patients with AIDS were diagnosed at autopsy, underscoring the life-threatening nature of disseminated opportunistic infections in persons with HIV/AIDS.1-3 Laboratory investigation, i...

A rare case of bilateral multifocal choroiditis and optic neuropathy as the result of disseminated cryptococcal infection in a person with AIDS is described. A 30-year-old HIV-positive man presented with fever, headache, vomiting, and altered sensorium Ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral multifocal choroiditis and optic neuropathy. Laboratory examination and imaging suggested a pres...
متن کاملMultifocal Visual Evoked Potentials (mfVEP) in Diabetic Patients with and without Polyneuropathy
UNLABELLED Previously not shown this study support that mfVEP is an indicator of optic nerve neuropathy in diabetic patients and there could be a correlation between the optic nerve dysfunction and diabetic poly neuropathy. The early optic nerve involvement might explain some of the visual complain in this group of diabetic patients. PURPOSE To investigate the function of the visual pathway m...
