Interesting case of Foreign body in Eyelid
An 8-year-old girl presented with total ptosis of the left eyelid and periorbital inflammation reaching the lateral aspect of the face. She was referred with the diagnosis of eyelid tumor. The patient's mother reported noticing a small foreign body protruding from her daughter's eyelid which was increasing gradually in size over the course of 5 days. The girl was otherwise healthy with no history of trauma or recent travel. However, the patient had a school trip to an animal farm few days prior to the onset of her symptoms. Slit-lamp exam revealed a large tick deeply anchored to the right upper eyelid. Have you seen such case? What should be the management? (source internet)
Remove the tick immediately Put the tick in a container and freez Wash your hands and bite site use warm water and soap , rubbing alcohol or iodine scrub
A Tick like foreign body to be removed . Wash / Clean the eyes also to avoid infection and inglamations.
Tick adherent to lower lid margin. Immediate removal of tick by clasping it with tooth forceps should be done. Then systemic & topical antibiotics e/drops r to be prescribed. Recently only , i saw one small insect very firmly adherent to lower lid margin . It was removed by me by tooth forceps .
Squamous Cell Carcinoma Incisional or excisional biopsy. Adjunctive radiation, cryotherapy, or chemotherapy can be used as well. Protect against further sun damage.
IMPREGNATED TICK L LID MARGIN AFTER 8 YEARS OLD GIRL HAD A TRIP ANIMAL FARM TT EXCISIONAL BIOPSY PRESENCE OF PARASITES OR LARVA IN EYE IS COMMON 1 PRESENCE OF MAGGOTS IN CONJUCTIVA LOAVA LOVA SUBCONJUCTIVAL PARASITE LARVA IF WACHERALIA BANCROFT IN A C ETC
Treatment in this case is urgent removal of tick followed by scrupulous cleansing with betadine and application of topical antibiotic eye ointment
Removal of the tick, wash and clean the area ,oral and local antibiotic
Intresting foreign body TICK yes sir remove it immidiately
Mucopurulent conjunctivitis Tab Ceftum c v for 5 days Moxi flox eye drops 2 drops 2 hrly Neosporine oint at bedtime Tab Serra 2 b d
Remove the tick immediately Cleaning with betadine or warm water Antibitocs

A 65 yr old female non DM non HTN with no known addictions, came to me with h/o painful ulcerations over the tongue,soft palate and buccal mucosa since 1yr...on and off...she received multiple treatments...including multivitamins, short courses of steroids twice in this one year..subsided in between.But this time she is having it since 1 month,not subsiding with treatment and severe pain along with difficulty in swallowing. I diagnosed it as recurrent aphthous stomatitis and adv workup. HIV negative,RBS normal,UGI endoscopy-Normal.ANA sent report awaited. There are no other signs and symptoms suggestive of malignancy or autoimmune or behcets disease. I suspected HSV stomatitis and so started her on acyclovir, but did not send tzanck smear...also put her on triamcinolone 0.1% buccal paste, amlexanox and lignocaine ointment and also started pentoxyfylline 400 tid...she came after 3 days with no improvement and so i added defcort 6 mg bid. what is the next course of action,should i get a biopsy. Need expert opinion pls

OCULAR MANIFESTATIONS OF SLE. SLE is a chronic auto immune disease with multisystem involvement.SLE is multifactorial . Possible factors are genetic susceptibility, environmental factors and disturbances in both innate and adaptive immunity. Early detection and prompt referral to ophthalmologist can prevent permanent visual loss in some instances. OCULAR MANIFESTATIONS. SLE can affect any part of the eye and visual pathway.Eyelids ,orbit, lacrimal system , conjunctiva ,cornea ,sclera ,episclera ,retina , choroid ,uvea ,cataract ,glaucoma and cranial nerve are all involved. EXTERNAL EYE DISEASES : 1.EYELID DISEASE:Discoid lupus rash over the eyelids present as discrete raised scaly lesions. HPE shows hyperkeratotic epithelium with liquefactive degeneration of the basal layer and dense perivascular lymphocytic infiltration. ANA titre,ESR,C reactive protein,CBC,LFT,RFT Complement factors C3 &C4,anti phospholipid antibodies ,immunoglobulins,rheumatoid factor TSH,VDRL,GFR,24 hour urinary protein etc are the investigations necessary. 2.LACRIMAL SYSTEM DISEASE : Dry eye syndrome is the most common ocular presentation. 3.ORBITAL DISEASE. It can present as orbital mass,periorbital oedema ,orbital myositis,panniculitis,acute orbital ischemia and infarction. Clinical presentation can be ptosis,proptosis, orbital pain,limitation of extra ocular movements and enophthalmos. Treatment is by immunosupression. ANTERIOR EYE SEGMENT MANIFESTATIONS 4.CONJUNCTIVA : Chronic conjunctivitis is infrequent.Conjunctiva is inflammed in SLE associated keratitis and scleritis. Treatment NSAID or anti malarial therapy given. 5.CORNEAL DISEASE: Breakdown of corneal epithelium can cause recurrent corneal erosions.The inflammatory process in SLE causes PERIPHERAL ULCERATIVE KERATITIS. Treatment is with systemic corticosteroids and cytotoxic agent during acute phase of the disease and lubrication of corneal surface concommitantly.TOPICAL STEROIDS ARE NOT ADVOCATED AS THEY INHIBIT NEW COLLAGEN PRODUCTION AND THEREBY INCREASE THE RISK OF PERFORATION. 6.EPISCLERA : Episcleritis is benign inflammation of the episclera. 7.SCLERAL DISEASE : Scleritis is a painful and potentially sight threatening disorder.b ANTERIOR SCLERITIS presents as diffuse nodular or necrotising scleritis resulting in significant destruction and scleral thinning. Redness is caused by injection of deep episcleral vessels. POSTERIOR SCLERITIS :Affects the sclera posterior to the equator of the globe. presenting symptoms are pain and blurry vision caused by exudative retinal detachment papillitis and cystoid macular edema. Immunosupression is essential. 8.ANTERIOR UVEITIS Rare presentation.Prompt immunosuppressive therapy is considered. 9.CATARACT : Iatrogenic steroid use in SLE is associated with cataract formation. 10.GLAUCOMA : Open angle glaucoma and angle closure glaucoma are seen in SLE. POSTERIOR EYE SEGMENT MANIFESTATIONS 11.SLE RETINOPATHY. The earliest findings are small intra retinal hemorrhages and cotton wool spots,multiple areas of polygonal retinal whitening between the retinal arterioles and venules. Systemic therapy with steroids, Immunosupression ,laser therapy,intra vitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents (anti-VEGF) and vitrectomy are all treatments offered. 12.RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION / RETINAL ARTERY OCCLUSION. Pathogenesis of vaso occlusive retinopathy is due to thrombosis associated with anti- phospholipid syndrome. 13.RETINAL VASCULITIS : This is a rare potentially blinding complication of SLE. 14 CHOROIDOPATHY : Choroidopathy with exudative retinal detachment is a rare ocular manifestation of SLE.It is manifested as multi focal serous detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the neural retina ,with the transduction of the accumulated fluid through bruch's membrane and RPE affected by the choroidal ischemia and inflammation. The presenting feature is visual loss ,which depends on the extent of the macular involvement. 15. OPTIC NEURVE DISEASE: SLE can cause optic neuritis and ischemic optic neuropathy.The optic nerve damage is believed to be secondary to an occlusive vasculitis of the small arterioles of the nerve , which leads to demyelination and /or axonal necrosis. Signs of optic nerve disease. *Reduced visual acuity. *Impairment of color vision. *Diminished light brightness sensitivity. *Decreased contrast sensitivity. *Afferant pupillary defect. *Visual field defects. 16.CRANIAL NERVE INVOLVEMENT. Ocular motor nerve palsy can occur. MANY OCULAR COMPLICATIONS ARE PREVENTABLE,TREATABLE OR EVEN CURABLE.PROMPT TREATMENT WITH HIGH DOSE SYSTEMIC CORTICOSTEROIDS AND IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE THERAPY ARE NECESSARY.
