Linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is a disease characterized by nevus sebaceous (NS) and accompanied by epilepsy, mental retardation, nerve defect or skeletal deformity. We report a case of linear sebaceous nevus syndrome diagnosed by histopathological examination with bilateral choroidal osteoma and congenital developmental abnormalities of the brain. Since linear sebaceous gland syndrome with binocular abnormalities is relatively rare, this paper will summarize the clinical and pathological manifestations of this patient, aiming to provide certain reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Orbital paraganglioma is a rare disease and mostly belongs to non-functional tumors. In this report, we described a middle-aged female admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of weak lifting of her right eyelid. Orbital computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination detected an intra-orbital mass in the right eye. Complete excision was conducted, and post-operative histopathological and immunohistochemical examination revealed the mass to be orbital paraganglioma. Within the 3-year follow-up,the patient showed no recurrence.

Langerhans cell histiocyte (LCH) is a rare disease caused by the tumor-like proliferation of bone marrow cells，which is mostly seen in children. Its clinical manifestations can be diverse, in which the skeletal system is most involved. This paper reports a case of Langerhans cell histiocyte in cranio-orbital communication of a child. The imaging results suggest that there is a round chisel damage at the patient’s right brow ridge. In terms of definitive diagnosis and treatment, this patient underwent surgical resection and histopathological examination. 3D-printed polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) material was selected to repair the cranio-orbital defect. The material can achieve better biocompatibility, while 3D-printing technique allows higher matching degree, both help to improve the prognosis and quality of life of the patient.

Epithelial downgrowth is a rare yet serious complication after ocular trauma or anteriorsegmental surgery. It can lead to decompensation of corneal endothelium, secondary glaucoma or other serious complications, among which refractory glaucoma is the main cause of enucleation. It is vital to raise the awareness of this disease and take strict precautions against it. We present a case of epithelial downgrowth and discuss the risk factors, pathogenesis and preventive measures of the disease through analyzing clinical data and pathological sections.

Objective: To compare the influence of active versus passive phacoemulsification fluidics systems on optic disc blood flow in patients with glaucoma. Methods: Patients were divided into 2 groups by a random number table method, namely the active fluidics system group and the passive fluidics system group. The intraoperative cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) was recorded, and the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, optic disc blood flow density and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness were measured at the follow-up of 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. Results: During phacoemulsification, CDE in the active fluidics system group was lower than that in the passive fluidics system group (5.6±1.3 vs. 6.3±1.2, P=0.034). One day after the surgery,the circumpapillary vessel density (cpVD), whole image vessel density (wiVD) and inside disc vascular density(inside disc VD) in the passive fluidics system group were higher than those in the active fluidics system group(P<0.05), and the differences were not statistically significant at the rest of the follow-ups (P>0.05).The retinal nerve fiber layer in passive fluidics system group was thicker than that in active fluidics system group at the follow-ups of 1 week and 1 month (P<0.05), and the difference was not statistically significant at the follow-up ofs 1 day and 3 months. Conclusion: Compared with the traditional passive fluidics system, the active fluidics system can reduce the CDE during phacoemulsification surgery. It can reduce the inflammatory congestion of the optic disc caused by intraoperative high intraocular pressure on the early postoperative stage. In addition, it can also protect retinal nerve fiber layer.

Objective: To analyze the clinical pathologic characteristics of pigment nevus of lacrimal caruncle complicated with squamous cell papilloma.Methods: This is retrospective case series study including ten patients diagnosed as pigment nevus of lacrimal caruncle complicated with squamous cell papilloma who underwent surgical treatment at Tianjin Eye Hospital from January 2002 to June 2020. The clinical and histological data were abstained for statistical analysis. Results: Among the included 10 patients 5 (50%) were males. The mean age was 50.20±19.57 years (ranged, 21 to 72 years). Five cases involved with the right eye and the other 5 cases involved with the left eye. In term of subtype of nevus, 7 cases (70%) were compound nevus and the left 3 cases (30%) were intradermal nevus. The conjunctival epithelial cysts were found in 7 cases of compound nevus and 2 cases of intradermal nevus. Regarding the clinical appearance of papilloma, 7 cases were pedunculated and 3 cases were sessile. There were 9 papilloma eyes containing conjunctival goblet cells, 1 shows hyperkeratosis, 3 with chronic inflammation,2 showed mild atypia. There was no obvious elastosis in any of the tumors.Conclusion: The pigment nevus of lacrimal caruncle complicated with squamous cell papilloma mainly localized were not common. They were easily misdiagnosed as melanoma and the diagnosis depended on histopathological examination.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics of ocular cysticercosis. Methods: The clinical data,grossing and microscopic pathological changes of 7 cases of ocular cysticercosis were analyzed retrospectively.Results: In this study, the male-to-female ratio was 1:6, the mean age was 24.7 (median age 20) years old. Of these patients, 3 patients presented with eyelid and periocular redness and swelling, 2 with blurred vision and decreased vision, 1 with diplopia, and 1 with conjunctival swelling and redness. In addition, 1 case was parasitized by cysticercus in the bulbar conjunctiva, 2 cases were in the eyeball and 4 cases were in the orbit. Cysticercus cellulosae containing calcareous corpuscle were observed in all cases, including 2 were accompanied by necroses with calcareous corpuscle.Conclusion: Ocular cysticercosis is found to be more common in female adolescents.Decreased vision is the main clinical symptom in intraocular infections, while orbital infections often show redness and swelling of eyelid and periocular. The finding of cysticercus and scolex in specimens is one of the confirmed diagnostic bases of ocular cysticercosis and calcareous corpuscles are important pathological diagnostic clues for this disease.

Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), known as Graves' ophthalmopathy, is an organ specific autoimmune disease closely related to thyroid diseases.Exophthalmos is one of the main clinical manifestations of thyroid related ophthalmopathy and is also the reason for most patients seeking medical attention in clinical practice.Eyeball protrusion can affect aesthetics on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can lead to exposed keratitis due to incomplete closure of the eyelids or compressive optic neuropathy due to increased orbital pressure.Orbital decompression has been used to treat severe TAO that threatens vision for over 100 years, and its safety and effectiveness have been confirmed.However, postoperative new diplopia remains a challenge for many ophthalmic medical workers.In recent years, many studies have explored the relevant factors of postoperative new diplopia, and improved the surgery, achieving varying degrees of progress in reducing postoperative new diplopia.This article reviews the research progress of new diplopia after orbital decompression, aiming to promote more accurate surgery for thyroid related eye diseases by specialized doctors.

Objective: To lay the foundation for clinical applications in the future, we prepare and identify the immunological properties of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) monoclonal antibodies. Methods: The dominant epitope polypeptides of AQP4 were synthesized and used to obtain the cell lines which secrete high tiler and high affinity monoclonal antibodies by immunizing BALB/c mouse cell fusion and screening of subclone. The large amount of monoclonal antibodies were obtained and used for practice via immunohistochemical staining and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Four hybridomas that can stably secret anti-AQP4 antibodies were obtained. ELISA, Western blot and Immunohistochemistry results suggested that the monoclonal antibodies specifically recognized human AQP4 protein.Conclusion: The anti-human AQP4 monoclonal antibody with high affinity and specificity was successfully generated, which thereby provides the foundation for the preparation of small molecule antibodies or humanized antibodies, and then lays a theoretical and technical basis for the treatment of neuromyelitis optica (NMO).

Objective: To investigate the misdiagnosis rate in enucleated eyes for retinoblastoma (RB), analyze the clinicopathological features and summarize differential diagnosis. Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on 563 cases (577 eye) undergoing eyeball enucleation in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center Sun Yat-sen University since 2003. Misdiagnosed cases were screened out by comparing the preoperative clinical diagnosis and postoperative pathological diagnosis. The clinical and pathological features of those misdiagnosed caseswere summarized, including age, gender, therapeutic process, imagological examination, pathological stage and pathological diagnosis. Results: Twenty-two cases had been misdiagnosed, which account for 3.91% of 563 enucleated eyeball cases. All of misdiagnosed cases had underwent monocular eyeball enucleation. Diseases that were easily misdiagnosed with RB were Coats disease (12/22), endophthalmitis (5/22) and other intraocular tumor (5/22). Among all patients, 55 patients were older than 4 years old, of which 12 cases were misdiagnosed,with a misdiagnosis rate of 21.82%. Conclusion: It is not unusual for clinical misdiagnosis of RB. Coats disease is the most frequent cause of RB misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis rates is higher in patients over 4 years old.
