To describe the clinical, histopathologic, and radiologic features of a recently identified cause for enlargement of the infraorbital canal. ⋯ Enlargement of the infraorbital nerve and canal is rare and strongly suggests a diagnosis of RLH or IgG4-related disease, especially in the presence of ipsilateral extraocular muscle enlargement, sinus disease, or focal orbital disease.
-
To examine whether oral fluoroquinolone antibiotics are associated with an increase in subsequent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and symptomatic retinal breaks in a large population-based cohort. ⋯ Oral fluoroquinolone use was not associated with an increased risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or symptomatic retinal breaks in this population-based study.

This study aimed at defining the incidence and demographics of clinically diagnosed retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in Korea. ⋯ This study reports the population-based RVO incidence in Korea. The RVO incidence increased exponentially as the age of the population increased, and the RVO incidence in women was 1.28 times higher than that in men.
