What Happens After Prolonged "Kissing" Choroidals?
Levent Akduman, MD, FASRS, Tugce I Turer, MD, Jacob Morgan and Sandeep Saxexa, MD
Article Type: ORIGINAL ARTICLE | First Published: May 07, 2025
An 82-year-old patient developed hemorrhagic kissing choroidals after undergoing a glaucoma procedure. Due to underlying cardiac issues, he was unable to undergo choroidal drainage within the typical 2–3-week window, as he required continued anticoagulant therapy— likely a contributing factor to the complication. Instead, the patient was monitored for six months without intervention, during which moderate proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) developed. Once operable, the patient underwent P...

Lymphangiectasia Haemorrhagica Conjunctivae – An Uncommon Entity Revisited
Abraham Kurian, Iodine Reghunadhan and Unnikrishnan Nair
Article Type: ORIGINAL ARTICLE | First Published: May 07, 2025
We present a case of LHC, which presented to us with spontaneous appearance of reddish discoloration of the conjunctiva, and was evaluated for corkscrew conjunctival vessels by neuroimaging, which was normal. The haemorrhages subsided spontaneously in 3 days, revealing the conjunctival lymphangiectasia and unmasking the diagnosis. Lymphangiectasia Haemorrhagica Conjunctivae (LHC) is a rare condition that was first described as early as 1880 but fails to be recognized still due to its unfamiliari...

The incidence is higher in major orthopedic procedures like hip fracture repair, hip hemiarthroplasty and knee replacement/ arthroplasty. Here, we report a case of trauma presented with right acetabulum fracture planned for open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), who suffered pulmonary embolism intraoperatively with thrombolysis done in trauma and managed effectively....

Rose Thomas Kalathottukaren, Amy H.C. Ng, Dr Joseph Chen
Article Type: CASE REPORT | First Published: April 17, 2025
Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD) is a rare medical condition of the inner ear leading to auditory and vestibular symptoms. The audiovestibular symptoms exhibited by patients with SSCD can be quite similar to other otologic disorders such as Meniere’s disease, patulous eustachian tube or early otosclerosis. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of SSCD requires careful correlation of clinical presentations with radiological imaging. In this case report, pre and postoperative findings ...

Septic arthritis of the wrist is uncommon, representing only 3% of all septic arthritis patients. When aspirated, rarely do cultures grow bacteria outside of the scope of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, and gramnegative rods. We present the case of a 33-year-old female with past medical history of ADHD, asthma, opiate abuse, and primary syphilis in 2021, who presented to the Emergency Department with sudden onset of right wrist pain and swelling for 24 hours....

Myxoid liposarcoma is a sarcoma of the supporting tissues. However, its superficial location is rare. It sometimes takes on an appearance that leads to confusion. In these rare clinical forms, its diagnosis is not often considered. We report a case of myxoid liposarcoma of the bladder with rare exophytic development. It developed around a cystostomy tube. The diagnosis was made after histological examination of a biopsy of the mass. Excision of the mass combined with radiotherapy was proposed......
