Inverse Hypopyon

An inverse hypopyon is a rare condition in the eye that can occur when silicone oil emulsifies during a pars plana vitrectomy and settles at the top of the anterior chamber (AC). This is different from a standard hypopyon, where leukocytes settle at the bottom of the AC due to gravity.
Inverse hypopyon can also be caused by: Long-term silicone oil tamponade, Posterior staphyloma, and Emulsified silicone oil.
👉🏻Symptoms
Symptoms include a layered whitish collection in the upper portion of the AC. This can block the outflow from the angles in the area and the trabecular meshwork, which can lead to open angle glaucoma.
👉🏻Treatment
Treatment may include removing the emulsified silicone oil and sequential cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation.

Type 3 Duane retraction syndrome

(DRS) is a congenital disorder that limits the ability to move the eyes inward (adduction) and outward (abduction). It's caused by miswiring of nerves to the eye muscles, which can result in an absent abducens nerve and anomalous innervations of the lateral re**us muscle.
Symptoms of type 3 DRS include:
Limited eye movement: The ability to move the eyes in either direction is limited or nonexistent
Eyelid narrowing: The eye opening narrows when the eye attempts to look inward
Eyeball retraction: The eyeball retracts when the eye attempts to look inward
Type 3 DRS accounts for about 15% of total DRS cases, with type 1 being the most common (78%) and type 2 following (7%). Most people with DRS only have problems in one eye, but around 20% have problems in both eyes.

Brown's syndrome is a rare form of strabismus characterized by limited elevation of the affected eye.
The disorder may be congenital, or acquired.
Brown syndrome is caused by a malfunction of the superior oblique muscle, causing the eye to have difficulty moving up, particularly during adduction.

A simple definition of the syndrome is "limited elevation in adduction from mechanical causes around the superior oblique".

This definition indicates that when the head is upright, the eye is restricted in movement due to problems with muscles and tendons that surround the eye.

Diagnosis of Brown's syndrome usually happens during a routine ophthalmologic appointment.

If binocular vision is present and head position is correct, treatment is not obligatory. Treatment is required for: visual symptoms, strabismus, or incorrect head position.

Acquired cases that have active inflammation of the superior oblique tendon may benefit from local corticosteroid injections in the region of the trochlea.

Diagnose: Bell's Palsy
Bell’s palsy is a condition that causes temporary facial paralysis (palsy). It usually only affects the muscles on one side of your face. You may have a lopsided smile or an eyelid that you can’t fully close. It rarely affects both sides of your face.
What are the symptoms of Bell’s palsy?
The main sign of Bell’s palsy is facial muscle paralysis — usually on one side of face. It looks like one side of face is drooping.
This includes :
*Forehead
*Eyebrow
*Eye and eyelid
*Corner of mouth
*Drooling
*Dry eyes
*Difficulty speaking eating or drinking.
*Facial or ear pain
*Headache
*Loss of taste
*Ringing in ears (tinnitus)
*Sensitivity to sounds

Cause:
Inflammation & compression of seventh cranial nerve is the main cause of Bell’s palsy.
Some viral infection may trigger Bell's palsy
*Herps Simplex
*Varicella zoster virus
*Chicken pox etc
Other causes
*Weak immune system
*Physical trauma
*Stress
*Sleep deprivation

Treatment:
Most cases of Bell’s palsy improve without treatment. Still dr may recommend one or more of these therapies for symptom relief and faster recovery:

Eye care: Eye drops, including artificial tears, soothe dry, irritated eyes. If eyelid won’t close, may need to wear an eye patch to protect that eye from drying, irritants and injuries. Eye care is very important to prevent damage to cornea, a serious complication of Bell’s palsy.

Oral corticosteroids: Oral corticosteroids (like prednisone) can help decrease nerve swelling. This treatment is most effective when start it within 48 hours of noticing symptoms.

Antiviral medications: Antiviral medications may speed up recovery. But it’s unclear how much benefit they provide. Providers typically only prescribe them for severe Bell’s palsy. This treatment works best when you combine it with oral corticosteroids.

Electrical stimulation: Although some dr recommend electrical stimulation to prevent facial muscle loss after Bell’s palsy, studies haven’t shown any benefit of this treatment.
In the rare case that Bell’s palsy doesn’t go away, functional facial plastic surgery procedures are an option. They can help correct facial asymmetry and assist with eyelid closure.

Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) involves fluid accumulation under the retina, primarily affecting the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). This leads to RPE detachment and dysfunction, visible on imaging as areas of hyperfluorescent leakage, significantly impacting visual Acuity
