Case Reports
Dacryoadenitis as the earliest presenting manifestation of systemic Wegener's granulomatosis.
To report a case presenting with dacryoadenitis as the earliest manifestation of systemic Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). ⋯ Dacryoadenitis maybe the earliestpresenting manifestation of WG andprompt immunosuppressive chemotherapy may control it preventing the limited disease from progressing to a complete form and reducing its morbidity and mortality.

Case Reports
Central retinal artery occlusion associated with severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious iatrogenic complication of ovulation induction. It is a potentially lethal condition, with severe complications which include ovarian enlargement, and massive fluid redistribution from the vascular system into free spaces resulting in ascites, pleural effusion, electrolyte imbalance, hemoconcentration, hypovolemia, oliguria, and adult respiratory distress syndrome. Thromboembolism is a rare but extremely serious complication. ⋯ This combination has not been reported previously.

To report a case of bilateral anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy due to buried optic disc drusen. ⋯ In patients presenting with AION uncommon underlying causes must be considered. Routine ultrasound B scan at presentation can easily establish or exclude optic disc drusen as an underlying cause.

To identify the prognostic factors that predict final visual outcome in eyes with posterior segment intraocular foreign body (IOFB) injuries managed by primary pars plana vitrectomy. ⋯ Final visual outcome is greatly determined by the severity of the primary injury. On multivariate analysis, significant predictive factors of final VA were corneoscleral entrance wound, presence or absence of uveal prolapse, and development of retinal detachment.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
The effect of propofol and alfentanil on the increase in intraocular pressure due to succinylcholine and intubation.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of propofol and alfentanil on the increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) due to succinylcholine and intubation, in comparison with thiopental sodium and vecuronium bromide. ⋯ In all Groups, IOP did not increase significantly after succinylcholine, but only anesthesia induced with propofol and alfentanil prevented the increase in IOP due to intubation.
