photophobia/hemorrhage

BACKGROUND Photophobia is defined as a painful psychosomatic discomfort triggered by intense light flow through the pupils to the brain, but the exact mechanism through which photophobia is induced by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is not well understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate

A normal component of the flora of the oropharynx, Neisseria sicca was first isolated in 1906 and has since been reported as a rare cause of various human infections including endocarditis, pneumonia, sinusitis, sepsis, and urethritis. We report the case of a 44-year-old African-American female with

Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) is an eye infection that was first noted in 1969 and became a pandemic disease in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Japan in the 1970s. It was not noted in the western hemisphere until 1981. This report describes the clinical experience with AHC in Honduras where it

An unusual case of entropion, corneal ulcer and corneal haemorrhages in a one-humped camel (Camelus dromedaries) is described. The most prominent clinical findings were entropion of both eyelids, severe blephrospasm, epiphora, conjunctivitis, conjunctival oedema, mucopurulent conjunctival

OBJECTIVE To study the reduction in light sensitivity in areas where impaired retinal perfusion was established by fluorescein angiogram (FA) in eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) that recovered from retinal edema and hemorrhage. METHODS Retrospective observational case series. METHODS A

Most aneurysms can be effectively managed using endovascular coiling or microsurgical clipping, but in an acute subarachnoid haemorrhage where there are multiple aneurysms identified, a sequential multimodal approach may prove more beneficial. This report involves a 31-year-old man who presented

BACKGROUND A 26-year-old arena football lineman participating in a "bull in the ring" blocking and tackling drill was blindsided by an opposing teammate. He sustained a direct helmet-to-helmet blow to the right temporal area. OBJECTIVE This case describes a unique mechanism of ear barotrauma

We examined two women who had keratic precipitates, minimal intracameral cells and flare, diffuse iris stromal atrophy, posterior subcapsular cataract, and vitreous opacities in their left eyes. No ocular pain, photophobia, or posterior synechia was noted. Their right irises appeared brown.

The Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF) is an infectious disease, endemo-epidemical, of viral etiology, produced by the Junin virus and limited to the Buenos Aires Province, South of Córdoba, East of La Pampa, and South of Santa Fe. It generally assails rural workers at harvest-time, especially during

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a rodent-originating zoonotic disease caused by Puumala and Dobrava viruses, which belong to the genus Hantavirus. The most prominent ocular change in HFRS is transient myopia, which lasts for up to one week and is due to a forward movement of the

Headache is relatively common in patients with cerebrovascular disorders. The reported frequency of stroke-related headache ranges from 7% to 65% and different types of headache, such as onset headache, sentinel headache, or delayed headache, may be observed in association with stroke. Headache can

BACKGROUND Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) may arise spontaneously or as a result of trauma. Spontaneous SAH accounts for about 5% of all strokes. Ruptured aneurysms are the cause of 85% of spontaneous SAH. The most characteristic clinical feature is sudden-onset severe headache. Other features

BACKGROUND Cerebroavascular complications after percutaneous coronary interventions, although rare, need immediate diagnostic and treatment in order to minimize the possible sequelae. METHODS At the end of a percutaneous coronary intervention a 63-year old man, long standing migraineur, developed
