Article Abstract
We present a case of post-trabeculectomy encapsulated dysesthetic bleb with scleral fistula, managed successfully with autograft. The child was operated on twice before for trabeculectomy, and intraocular pressure (IOP) recorded was in the normal range for the initial few years. This time child presented with a large encapsulated dysesthetic bleb with borderline IOP. As the IOP was on the lower side, an underlyings cleral fistula was suspected and planned for bleb revision with a donor patch graft. We describe the novel technique of bleb revision along with the repair of the scleral fistula with an autologous free fibrotic Tenon's tissue graft instead of a donor patch graft with a successful outcome.

Intraocular hypertension caused by elevated episcleral venous pressure following arteriovenous fistula embolization.

Increased intraocular pressure due to elevated episcleral venous pressure is a recognized complication associated with arteriovenous fistulas, which typically form between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. We report a case of a patient who developed paradoxical worsening syndrome a few days after he underwent a two-staged transarterial embolization procedure of a left sided ethmoidal arteriovenous fistula. The patient presented with signs of elevated episcleral venous pressure leading to intraocular hypertension caused by the iatrogenic partial obstruction of the left superior ophthalmic vein.

Background: This article contains two cases with accompanying surgical videos, illustrating the use of a Tutoplast plug to create a watertight seal in the corneoscleral fistula formed after tube shunt removal.
Case Description: These cases demonstrate that Tutoplast can be cut into a strategic geometric shape to both plug the fistula formed at the tube entry site and reinforce adjacent areas of scleral thinning during tube removal or repositioning surgery. Specifically, a piece of dehydrated scleral Tutoplast was shaped into a small rectangle with an attached larger rectangle.
A "Mismatched" connection: a rare case of indirect or dural carotid-cavernous fistula: a case based review.

Introduction And Importance: A carotid-cavernous sinus fistula is an abnormal connection between the internal or external carotid artery and the venous system of the cavernous sinus. It represents a rare entity, and it is often misdiagnosed due to its overlapping symptoms with other conditions such as cavernous sinus thrombosis or orbital inflammation. Cerebral angiography continues to be the gold standard for diagnosis and surgical planning in patients with CCF, and the endovascular trans-venous approach still represents the primary line of treatment.

Article Synopsis
- - Rare diseases, though infrequent (happening in 100-500 per million), pose significant challenges in pediatric dentistry due to their complex needs and the required specialized care.
- - Conditions like X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), hypophosphatasia (HPP), and osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) show how systemic health problems can directly affect oral health, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach for effective treatment.
- - XLH is particularly notable, caused by mutations in the PHEX gene, leading to issues such as poor enamel mineralization, dental abscesses, and unique dental manifestations, emphasizing the crucial role dentists play in early diagnosis and referrals to genetic specialists.
