Inflammation of the eye is often times seen in association with systemic inflammatory diseases. Understanding the various forms of ocular involvement in these conditions is important as untreated ophthalmic involvement can lead to severe vision loss. In addition to providing a basic framework for diagnosis and treatment, this review will highlight the ocular manifestations of the following syst...

Patients with Takayasu arteritis often present with reduced vision related either to the disease per se or due to complications of therapy. We report a patient with Takayasu arteritis who developed acute onset bilateral visual loss 6wks following percutaneous revascularization of occluded aortic arch branches. No ocular cause for the visual loss was evident. The reason for visual loss in this p...

Bilateral non-granulomatous anterior uveitis with left vitritis and macular edema were detected in a 19-year-old woman presenting with blurred vision in her left eye. Light microscopic study of the pathologic mediastinal lymph node that was detected via contrast computed tomography imaging during etiologic study revealed nodular sclerosing and mixed cellularity Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Ocular f...

Studies by Scheiman et al. on a clinical paediatric population1 and Lara et al. on a clinic population aged 10–35 years2 reported that the most common vision disorder after ametropia was binocular vision disorders. In comparison with certain ocular diseases also, binocular vision disorders are regularly diagnosed.3 Vergence disorders (binocular vision disorders4 functionally classified descript...

Wall-eyed monocular internuclear ophthalmoplegia (WEMINO) with contraversive ocular tilt reaction has not been previously reported. A 71-year-old woman suddenly developed blurred vision. Examination revealed left internuclear ophthalmoplegia, left exotropia, right hypotropia, and rightward head tilt. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a tiny infarction at the area of the left medial longitudinal...

Scleritis is typically a severe painful inflammatory process centered in the sclera that may involve the cornea, adjacent episclera, and underlying uvea; it poses a significant threat to vision. Careful clinical history taking, detailed ocular examination, appropriate investigation for ocular disease with or without underlying systemic disease, and timely intervention with the use of immunosupp...

This study was conducted to evaluate the visual field changes in tubercular patients on anti-tubercular therapy and assess reversibility of these after discontinuation therapy. as a prospective analytical at tertiary care centres Bhopal Jabalpur all newly detected tuberculosis patients. Ocular history, relevant history recorded detailed ocular examination done time presentation, before initiati...

A six-year-old boy, a known case of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) on remission since 1991 presented with leukocoria and poor vision of the left eye for two days' duration. Examination revealed endophthalmitis in the left eye with raised intraocular pressure. Anterior chamber paracentesis with vitreous biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of ocular involvement. Further investigation revealed that ...

We present two cases of Behcet's Disease with severe eye problems along with oral and genital ulcerations. Both cases, initially were treated with steroids and oral immunosuppressive agents, but did not show a response and ocular disease became worse. Both the cases were kept on Infliximab therapy. an immediate positive response with improvement in vision and symptoms was seen. After initial in...

Corneal and conjunctival epithelial stem cells are responsible for the homeostasis and regeneration of the ocular surface epithelium. Corneal epithelial stem cells reside in the basal region of the limbus, while the conjunctival forniceal region appears to be the site that is enriched in conjunctival stem cells. Ocular surface disease arising from limbal stem cell deficiency is characterised by...
