Purpose: To evaluate the dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) ostia via nasal endoscopy using the FICI-grading system following external and endoscopic DCRs.
Methods: Our prospective study evaluated all DCR ostia following single surgeon (MS) surgeries. The FICI grading system includes the Fluorescein endoscopy dye test (FEDT), internal common opening (ICO) dynamicity, cicatricial ostium closure, and ICO threats.
Primary anaplastic extramedullary plasmacytoma in the lacrimal sac.

We report the case of a 60-year-old man diagnosed with unilateral, solitary, extramedullary plasmacytoma located in the right lacrimal sac fossa, with no systemic involvement. This rare plasma cell dyscrasia is usually found in the respiratory tract. Clinical and radiological features of the mass and histopathological results are described.

Methods: Our retrospective analysis focused on managing pCNLDO by using the BD or BDCP technique. The study included children aged >1 year to <12 years who underwent single or multiple probings before.
Cavernous hemangioma, currently known as "cavernous venous malformation," is a common, benign, non-infiltrative, slowly progressive vascular malformation of the orbit presenting in adults. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with a painless palpable mass over the right upper eyelid of 7 years' duration. A computed tomography scan of the orbits revealed a heterogeneously enhancing, well-circumscribed mass in the right upper eyelid with no orbital extension.

Methods This is a prospective, randomized comparative study of consecutive patients undergoing anterior orbitotomy and mass excision enrolled into two groups: group A (with drain) and group B (without drain). Clinical data included visual acuity assessment, proptosis measured by exophthalmometry, pain score assessment, eyelid swelling, and ocular motility.

- Cutaneous horns are uncommon skin tumors that can occur on eyelids, and in this case, a 65-year-old male had one on his right lower eyelid for two months.
- After removal and examination, it was revealed to be a keratotic form of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), which is a slow-growing skin cancer.
- This case highlights the need for histopathological analysis to accurately diagnose skin lesions, as the keratotic BCC presented as a cutaneous horn is a rare occurrence, especially within such a short timeframe.

Purpose: To compare differences in choriocapillaris flow deficit (CC FD) in multifocal choroiditis (MFC) between two treatment arms using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Methods: In this prospective randomized clinical trial, patients were randomized to either Group 1 which received standard tapering dose of oral corticosteroids, or Group 2 which received additional dexamethasone implant (or intravitreal methotrexate). The patients were followed-up until 12 weeks using OCTA and other imaging tools.
