When Seizures Lead to the Incidental Finding of Silicone Oil Migration.

Silicone oil, commonly used as a temporary intraocular tamponade in retinal detachment repair, may have retrobulbar migration as a possible complication of the procedure to the cerebral ventricles. This report presents the case of a 73-year-old male patient with multiple cardiovascular risk factors and diffuse atherosclerotic disease who underwent vitrectomy of the left eye several years earlier due to retinopathy and was diagnosed through retrospective analysis of all cerebral imaging studies, with the migration of silicone oil particles, from the vitreous humor of the eye to the intraventricular space. He was admitted due to transient altered consciousness in the context of a probable seizure, with acute hyperdensity in the temporal horn of the left lateral ventricle observed in the cranial computed tomography (CT), suggestive of hemorrhage, along with signs of prior hemorrhage in the frontal horn of the same ventricle.

Good Syndrome in a Young Woman: An Unusual Presentation.

Good Syndrome is a rare disease that comprises the presence of a thymoma, immunodeficiency, and recurrent opportunistic infections. We report the case of a young woman who was diagnosed with Good Syndrome, who had a long-term history of recurrent infections, often due to atypical agents, and who also had a previous history of immunodeficiency and a B1 thymoma invading the large vessels, lung, and pericardium (Masaoka stage IV). She underwent surgical resection of the mediastinal mass, requiring vena cava superior reconstruction due to the extent of invasion, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy and immunoglobulin G supplementation.
