Asyptomatic Fungal Cyst of Conjunctiva Caused by Bipolaris Spicifera
Authors
Abstract:
An asymptomatic fungal cyst of a conjunctival infection was found and removed by biopsy in a young shepherdess. Histopathologic evaluations of the excised tissue specimen from the lesion of the conjunctiva demonstrated an epithelium lined cavity containing a tangled mycelial mass that was surrounded by inflammatory cells and the fungus was identified as Bipolaris spicifera. It is concluded that asymptomatic conjunctival infections by fungi may occur without a having previous history of trauma or having any signs of inflammation.Iran J Med Sci 2006; 31(1): 56-58.

full textRadiculopathy Caused by Discal Cyst
Discal cyst is an intraspinal cyst with a distinct communication with the corresponding intervertebral disc. It is a rare condition and could present with radiculopathy similar to that caused by lumbar disc herniation. We present a patient with a large discal cyst in the ventrolateral epidural space of the 5(th) lumbar vertebral (L5) level that communicated with the adjacent 4(th) lumbar and 5(...
