Mashup Score: 224Double Crystalline Lens in a 3-Year-Old Child - 1 month(s) ago
A 3-year-old boy presented with double crystalline lenses in the left eye since birth, as revealed on slit-lamp examination (A). The cornea had the following diameters: vertical 11 mm, horizontal 14 mm. Fundus photography showed generalized retinal atrophy (B). Keratometry readings in the left eye were 35.75 diopters at 180 degrees/36.50 diopters at 90 degrees, and axial length was 21.80 mm. The right eye was normal. Fixation was central, steady, and maintained in the right eye, whereas the left eye exhibited poor fixation.

Mashup Score: 15Undiagnosed Von Willebrand Disease Detected after Dermal Filler - 1 month(s) ago
A 43-year-old woman with no prior medical history presented for periorbital hollows (A). Hyaluronic acid (0.5 cc) was injected via cannula into each tear trough. Ecchymosis developed immediately on the left side of the patient’s face in the inferior periorbital region (B), progressing to bilateral involvement by 1 week (C) and persisting slightly at 1 month (D). Because bruising from cannula-administered filler is unusual, the patient was referred for evaluation of possible bleeding disorders and type 1 and 2 Von Willebrand disease was confirmed.

Mashup Score: 118Microphthalmia with Orbital Cyst - 1 month(s) ago
A 25-month-old boy presented with upward and inward deviation of the left eye, noticed since infancy, and progressive swelling of the left lower eyelid (A). Examination showed left eye blindness, microcornea, and a palpable orbital mass, whereas the right eye was normal. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a microphthalmic globe with large posterior orbital cysts and significant left orbital expansion (B). The cyst was hypointense on T1-weighted and hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging. After informed consent, enucleation and cyst excision were performed, revealing optic nerve compression (C).

Mashup Score: 98
A 32-year-old man presented with a 2-week history of severe corneal hydrops. On examination, a 2.5-mm intrastromal cleft was observed on anterior-segment OCT (A, B). Because of the extent of the hydrops, surgery was considered but the patient declined. He had a history of strabismus and amblyopia, without reporting a subjective decrease in vision. The hydrops was managed with topical steroids and hypertonic saline drops, and 2 months later it had resolved completely. A small, chronic Descemet´s membrane rupture could explain the giant cleft formation and its spontaneous resolution (C, D).

Mashup Score: 5Cherubism - 1 month(s) ago
A 17-year-old boy presented with a several-year history of progressive right hyperglobus, right periorbital discomfort, and bilateral cheek expansion (A). Computed tomography imaging revealed multicystic, expansile lesions of the maxillae bilaterally and of the right inferior orbital rim and floor (arrows in B, C, and D). The patient’s father experienced a similar disorder during his adolescence. The scenario is consistent with a diagnosis of cherubism, an autosomal dominant condition of variable penetrance that commonly presents in childhood or adolescence, is marked by characteristic facial bony lesions, and often spontaneously resolves in the third decade of life.

Mashup Score: 52Pediatric Diabetic Cataract Variations: Intumescence and Volume Loss - 1 month(s) ago
A previously healthy teenage boy presented with progressive decreased vision in both eyes over 1 year. His visual acuity was hand motion in both eyes. The slit-lamp examination revealed bilateral total white cataracts (A and B). Ultrasound biometry showed a relative loss of lens volume of the right eye (C), and intracapsular fluid spaces and increased anteroposterior lens thickness in the left eye (D). Medical evaluation revealed diabetes mellitus type 1 and diabetic ketoacidosis. Ultrasound biometry is useful in detecting lens volume loss in hypermature pediatric cataracts and may decrease the risk of inadvertent posterior capsular trauma intraoperatively.

Mashup Score: 33Airbag Iris Coup-Contrecoup Injury - 2 month(s) ago
A 53-year-old man presented with debilitating glare only in the right eye 1 year after an airbag-deployed unrestrained motor vehicle accident. Six years previously, he had uncomplicated right eye cataract surgery with diffractive multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. On examination, uncorrected visual acuity was 20/25, with normal intraocular pressure and corneal topography. Examination of the right eye revealed diffuse iris transillumination defects with micro-sphincter tears (A and B) with a well-centered multifocal IOL, and an unaffected left eye.

Mashup Score: 114Atypical Presentation of Conjunctival Amyloidosis - 2 month(s) ago
A 19-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of progressively enlarging bilateral conjunctival lesions. Anterior-segment examination (A, B) revealed 360-degree bilateral involvement of the bulbar conjunctiva, extending from the fornix to the limbus, with the palpebral conjunctiva remaining unremarkable. Occasional hemorrhages were observed. Anterior-segment OCT exhibited hyperreflective subepithelial lesions containing hyperreflective foci bilaterally (C, red arrows), with a normal overlying epithelial layer.
