ABSTRACT
An 83-year-old Caucasian woman with decreasing vision for 5 years was referred for a macular mass in the left eye (OS). She was a known hypertensive with no other significant systemic complaints. Surgical history included two previous breast biopsies, both of which were negative. On ocular examination, best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye (OD) and 20/50 OS. Intraocular pressures were normal. She was pseudophakic with bilateral peripheral iridotomies. There was an elevated orange choroidal lesion in the macula (white arrow) and a small choroidal nevus inferiorly OS (black arrow) (a). There was no overlying drusen, hemorrhage, lipid exudation, or edema.
ABSTRACT
We are reporting a case of post traumatic chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia with an open wound exposing an intra medullar nail implant for 13 years. The patient presented with fresh ipsilateral tibia plateau fracture. He was treated by removal of the implant, debridement and local placement of Gentamicin impregnated PMMA beads according to guidelines of the two stage Belfast technique. After five months of wound treatment, the exposed bone was covered by healthy granulation tissue and the patient was able to fully bear weight.
