Anterior segment features in neovascular glaucoma: An ultrasound biomicroscopy study
CONCLUSION: In NVG, the iris is atrophied, thinned, and straight, while the ACD is normal or slightly shallow. In 360° angle-closure NVG, the PAS length exceeds the Schwalbe line, presenting a pseudo angle phenomenon and a hockey stick sign. Notably, the anterior segment structure morphology of NVG exhibit differences from those of PACG.PMID:38693770 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241252476 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Clinical and histopathological factors for recurrence and metastasis in lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma in Chinese patients
CONCLUSIONS: For LGACC, ≥T3 category, basaloid subtype, and bone erosion were high-risk predictors. ASCT2(-) was an independent risk factor for distant metastasis, which suggested that it could be a potential biomarker for LGACC.PMID:38689460 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241249503 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Impact of positive airway pressure therapy on intraocular pressure in obstructive sleep apnea: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: The available albeit limited evidence suggests that CPAP use, particularly at higher pressures, is linked to an elevation in IOP. However, high quality evidence from well-designed RCTs is needed to confirm or refute this findings.PMID:38689462 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241249502 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Combined superficial keratectomy, alcohol delamination and amniotic membrane patch with fibrin glue in Salzmann nodular degeneration
CONCLUSIONS: Combining alcohol delamination with superficial keratectomy and amniotic membrane patch with fibrin glue is an effective procedure for the management of SND to regularize the corneal surface and avoid the recurrence of subsequent nodules. This report is the first description of the outcomes of SND cases treated with a combination of the aforementioned techniques.PMID:38676318 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241251890 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

M üller muscle-Conjunctival Resection (MMCR) Surgery: A Comprehensive Literature Review
CONCLUSION: MMCR is a well-established surgical technique used to correct upper eyelid ptosis that results from dysfunction or attenuation of the levator aponeurosis. MMCR proved to be a safe and effective procedure with a high patient satisfaction rate and low risk of complications.PMID:38659353 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241249505 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy and cotton wool spots in a patient with ocular migraine: A case report
In this study, we report paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) and cotton wool spots (CWS) in a patient with ocular migraine. A 74-year-old man presented with persistent paracentral scotoma in the right eye that began a week prior. His visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left. Dilated fundoscopy revealed CWS in the right eye. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) showed hyper-reflective bands in the inner nuclear layer corresponding to parafoveal lesions seen on near-infrared imaging in the right eye consistent with the diagnosis of PAMM. Further laboratory studies were unremarka...

Open-source, 3D printable IOL holder for detailed, smartphone-based anterior segment photography
Eur J Ophthalmol. 2024 Apr 24:11206721241248305. doi: 10.1177/11206721241248305. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSmartphones are increasingly relevant resources in medical practice as they are ubiquitous and reasonably cheap. Among the advantages of using smartphones in medical practise, there is the possibility of obtaining reproducible photographic documentation of various conditions. This is particularly true in the ophthalmic field, where anterior segment color photography plays a significant role in the diagnosis and the management of ocular surface diseases. Here we propose an original design for an open-source smartph...
