RESUMO

Aim To present an interesting case of giant cell arteritis presenting as ischaemic upper limb. Methods Data was collected from the patient's chart and from radiology and laboratory systems in our institution. Results The patient had a temporal artery biopsy confirming the diagnosis of temporal arteritis. This was successfully treated with high dose steroids leading to resolution of symptoms in the arm. Conclusion Arteritis is an important consideration to consider in patients who present with limb ischaemia as it is a reversible cause which can be treated effectively.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Nd:YAG contact transscleral laser cyclophotocoagulation (CTLC) has been used in the treatment of adult glaucoma patients. However, little information is available regarding the use of this modality in pediatric glaucoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively studied 10 pediatric patients (ages 8 months to 13 years) treated with Nd:YAG CTLC for refractory glaucoma. All patients were treated using our standard technique in an outpatient setting. Average treatment energy was 190.5 +/- 35.0 J. RESULTS: The overall result was an average intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction of 48% +/- 6%. An IOP of less than 21 mm Hg was achieved in five patients (50%), and the average follow up was 15.5 +/- 5 months. Retreatment was required in 7 of 10 eyes. Loss of vision was seen in four patients, and one case of phthisis bulbi was noted. CONCLUSION: Nd:YAG CTLC effectively lowers IOP in refractory pediatric glaucoma.

RESUMO

PURPOSE/METHODS: We studied a patient with subretinal myiasis with pain and rapidly progressive visual loss and found that prompt photocoagulation resulted in marked visual improvement. A 16-year-old boy had subconjunctival hemorrhage and periocular pain associated with progressive visual loss of 6/200 over a four-day period. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: A live maggot found crawling in the subretinal space was promptly photocoagulated with an argon green laser. Within one month, the visual acuity improved to 20/50. Laser treatment of a subretinal larva does not generally induce marked inflammation and often results in good visual recovery.
