Corneal Ectasia

Submitted by Rodolpho Takaishi Ninin Matsumoto, MD

INTERESTING AND ARTISTIC

A 62-year-old woman stated that she had had poor visual acuity since she was 15 years old. She had no ophthalmic care and no treatment at the time, leading to this advanced corneal ectasia.


JUDGE’S COMMENTS

No topographer needed here. This case of ectasia would be obvious to even the casual observer. —Steven J. Dell, MD

Iris Vascular Malformation

Submitted by Imran Saleem Channer, MBBS, FCPS

SLIT LAMP

A 30-year-old man came to our department for a routine ophthalmic examination. The iris vascular malformation was diagnosed as an incidental finding during a routine slit-lamp examination. The patient was unaware of the lesion, and there were no associated symptoms. The patient will be examined every 6 months for any complications.


JUDGE’S COMMENTS

This is a technically excellent photograph of a striking vascular lesion, which contrasts nicely with the blue iris. —Steven J. Dell, MD

photocontest_rare

Iris Melanoma

Submitted by Muhammed Imran Saleem Channer, MBBS, FCPS

RARE AND UNUSUAL DISEASES

This 25- to 30-year-old was referred to our hospital for an enlarging mass inside the eye. The tumor started as a single nodule about 2 years before this photograph was taken. It then increased in size and transformed into a multinodular mass. A clinical diagnosis of iris melanoma was made based on the clinical appearance of the lesion.


JUDGE’S COMMENTS

Most of us will go our entire careers without seeing such a dramatic iris neoplasm. —Robert J. Weinstock, MD

photocontest_surgicalcomplication

Endophthalmitis With Lens Extrusion

Submitted by Julia Furtado Heringer, MD

SURGICAL COMPLICATION

A patient presented with a chief complaint of ocular pain for 7 days. An examination revealed erosion of the eyewall, extrusion of the lens, and endophthalmitis. Cataract surgery had been performed 3 months earlier, and the patient had not returned for follow-up.


JUDGE’S COMMENTS

This photograph is a reminder that cataract surgery, albeit the safest surgery in the world, can still have catastrophic complications. —Robert J. Weinstock, MD

photocontest_severe

Severe Trauma

Submitted by Rodolpho Takaishi Ninin Matsumoto, MD

TRAUMA

A 32-year-old patient was admitted to the ER with a blunt ocular trauma from a large piece of metal. A slit-lamp examination showed a great linear laceration limbus to limbus with iris herniation, hyphema, and Descemet membrane folds.


JUDGE’S COMMENTS

The eye is so resilient at times yet so vulnerable and fragile at others. —Robert J. Weinstock, MD
