Introduction: Arrested hydrocephalus is a state of chronic hydrocephalus with mild dilatation of the ventricles in which the cerebrospinal fluid pressure has returned to normal, and there is no pressure gradient between the cerebral ventricles and brain parenchyma. Case Report: In this case report, we present a 37-year-old female patient who was admitted to emergency department with complaints ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To evaluate ultrasonography outcomes in eyes with stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with bilateral stage 5 ROP were evaluated retrospectively. Ultrasonography examination was performed in all cases. Patients' demographic features and ultrasonography findings such as axial eye length, funnel configuration, subretinal hemorrhage, an...

AIMS To evaluate the ocular axial length as a risk factor for development of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS Ocular axial lengths were measured, by A-scan ultrasonography, in 17 patients with CRVO and 41 patients with BRVO and compared with those of contralateral unaffected eyes and 66 age matched controls. RESULTS In 17 patients with ...

BACKGROUND We present two patients who developed severe protrusion of the conjunctiva and chemosis secondary to Harlequin ichthyosis (HI). CASE REPORTS Case 1 was a male infant diagnosed with HI who had parchment-like appearance and conjunctival protrusion with severe chemosis. Case 2 was a female infant on whom HI had been suspected before birth through ultrasonography. She showed thickened ...

introduction: elevated intracranial pressure (icp) is a major and potentially lethal disorder in patients admitted to the emergency department (ed). several methods are being used to investigate for elevated icp. here we assessed and compared the diagnostic accuracy of two existing tools of ophthalmoscopy and optic nerve ultrasonography in detection of elevated icp. methods: 131 participants wi...

This review describes specialized diagnostic investigations to assess ocular status in hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. Ocular assessment can aid in early detection for prompt multidisciplinary treatment, obstetric intervention and follow-up. The investigations accurately predict the possible causes of blindness in hypertensive diseases of pregnancy. The investigations include fluorescein an...

Fraser syndrome is a systemic condition characterized by cryptophthalmos, syndactyly and abnormal genitalia, which may be associated with urinary tract, ear, nose, larynx and skeletal abnormalities. Cryptophthalmos can be an isolated finding (that has been reported as an autosomal dominant trait) or associated with other congenital anomalies (reported as an autosomal recessive disorder). Child,...

Aand B-modes ultrasonographic changes in the thickness of various structures of the eyeball in male and female English Cocker Spaniel dogs with and without nondiabetic cataracts were evaluated. Sixteen dogs with cataracts (32 eyes) and seven normal dogs (14 eyes) older than eight years were selected. Aand B-modes ultrasonography was performed with a 10MHz transducer. Data was statistically eval...

Background: Measurements of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in intracranial pathologies correlate well with raised ICP. Only recently the usefulness ocular ultrasonography preeclampsia has been sought. Objective current study was measurement ONSD and compare it to healthy pregnant females.Methods: A total 90 subjects were included divided into Group I- normal pregnancy (N=30), II - mild III-...

A retired woman with left ophthalmic shingles of over 2 years' duration attended with bilateral vision loss and systemic upset. Acute retinal necrosis with detachment was detected on right fundus examination. Cataract in left eye precluded funduscopy. Ocular ultrasonography revealed fibrotic retinal detachment in the left eye. MRI brain and orbits also showed signals of retinal detachment. No a...
