Tubercular dacryoadenitis--a case report and review of literature.

A case of a 56 year old lady presenting clinically with a slow growing painless mass of the left lacrimal gland, the histopathplogical examination of which was consistent with a diagnosis of tubercular dacryoadenitis, is described. Tubercular dacryoadenitis is uncommon, with the diagnosis usually made on histological examination of the lacrimal gland. Other cases of tubercular dacryoadenitis reported in literature are also reviewed.

Congenital alacrima in Pierre Robin sequence.

PURPOSE: To report the presence of congenital alacrima in a patient with Pierre Robin (PR) sequence. METHODS: A 6-month-old child with diagnosed PR sequence presented to us with dysfunctional lacrimation present since birth. The child subsequently developed bilateral corneal ulcers. This unusual presentation and its management are described in detail, and other ocular associations of the PR sequence are discussed. RESULTS: Continuous tear supplementation and appropriate treatment with antibiotics controlled the microbial infection. However, the long-term prognosis for visual rehabilitation remained poor in this patient because of the presence of central corneal opacities, persistent dry eye, which would preclude future optical keratoplasty, and possible sensory deprivation amblyopia. CONCLUSIONS: Alacrima can cause significant ocular morbidity, because persistent ocular surface dryness can be very difficult to manage. Lifelong tear supplementation may be necessary. The association or coexistence of congenital alacrima and the Pierre Robin sequence has not been described before this report.

Laser and surgical management of hyperplastic persistent pupillary membrane.

Two patients (50 and 14 years old) presented with extensive hyperplastic pupillary membranes and significant reduction of visual acuity. The patients were treated by surgical excision and sectioning of the membrane using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Although both of the modalities achieved good surgical and functional results, laser treatment should be preferred over surgery because of potential complications associated with the latter.

Nd:YAG laser photocystotomy of a free-floating pigmented anterior vitreous cyst.

An 8-year-old girl presented with a free-floating pigmented cyst in the anterior vitreous causing a large, visually disturbing floater. A simple laser photocystotomy with a single-frequency Nd:YAG laser resulted in a reduction in the size of the cyst but persistence of the floater. An attempt at further laser fragmentation of the cyst resulted in iatrogenic cataract formation.

Malignant glaucoma as a complication of Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy.

A 79-year-old woman with pseudophakia who underwent Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomy for posterior capsular opacification in her right eye had increased intraocular pressure associated with a flat anterior chamber. Full-thickness patent iridotomy performed with an Nd:YAG laser did not reduce the intraocular pressure. B-scan ultrasonography showed aqueous pockets in the vitreous, leading to a diagnosis of malignant glaucoma. Medical and surgical therapy normalized the intraocular pressure and resolved the symptoms of malignant glaucoma.
