An 81-year-old woman presented with light perception vision in her left eye and had pallid swelling of the left optic disk. Temporal artery biopsy was normal. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed enlargement and enhancement of the left orbital optic nerve. There were vitreous cells, but a vitrectomy specimen showed only a benign lymphocytic population. Her vision deteriorated to no light percept...

Imaging studies in typical glaucomatous cupping are usually needless. This article reviews the various clinical presentations for considering imaging in patients presenting with cupped disc.

background and objectives: methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is a major cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections. detection of mrsa in laboratories is very important for treatment and appropriate infection control. the aim of this study was to evaluate cefoxitin disk diffusion method for detection of mrsa and comparison of this method with other conventional method...

In all of 100 consecutive patients referred for retinal angiography with a clinical diagnosis of probable or possible papilloedema a definite diagnosis was made from neurological assessment, neuroradiological investigations, and follow-up. The cases have been divided into 2 groups--those with proved papilloedema and those which have been called either normal or pseudopapilloedema. In all cases ...

The authors describe a case of nasal and macular retinoschisis in a patient with open angle glaucoma. A 75 year-old female with optic nerve head damage secondary to chronic open angle glaucoma developed macular schisis and a separate area of retinoschisis nasal to her optic disk. There were no other identifiable causes for her retinoschisis. Glaucoma related structural defects offer a plausible...

AIMS To compare monoscopic and stereoscopic assessment of the optic disc using novel software for the digital stereoscopic analysis of optic disc stereopairs. METHODS Software was developed for the stereoscopic display of digital optic disc images using an interlaced display method. Neuroretinal rim width was determined at 10 degree intervals around the optic disc using a custom (stereoscopic...

32-year-old Turkish male patient presented with an optic disk pit and serous macular detachment in the left eye. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography revealed serous macular detachment and retinoschisis. After vitrectomy the retina gradually flattened and vision was gradually improved. We aimed to report a case of serous macula detachment secondary to optic pit and long term result of s...
