Article Abstract
The vitreous humor of the eye presents a crucial target for posterior segment therapy due to its proximity to the retina and relatively easy accessibility. Although intravitreous injections have long been the primary method for treating posterior segment disorders, recent successes in non-invasive topical treatments have led to the exploration of alternative administration routes. The objective of our study is to establish a platform for a Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability Assay (PAMPA) model that mimics the posterior segment, modelling the permeation process of compounds applied topically on the eye. The study demonstrates the acceptor-phase effects of sodium hyaluronate and agar on passive permeability, while applying a previously published vitreous humor-mimetic material. Physicochemical similarities of the acceptor phase media and freshly excised porcine vitreous humor further support the applicability of the mimetic material, based on viscosity and zeta potential measurement. As a result, a new concept is introduced for measuring posterior segment permeability, with potential for future high throughput screening applications.

Fungal cerebral aneurysms, particularly those resulting from direct invasion by fungal sinusitis, are rare and often fatal when involving the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA). We present a case of a ruptured fungal ICA aneurysm caused by sinusitis, successfully treated with parent artery occlusion (PAO). In this case, an 80-year-old woman presented with right ptosis, facial pain, and cranial nerve III, IV, and VI palsies.

Purpose: During endoscopic endonasal access to small intraconal masses deep in the orbital apex, a line of fusion between inferior and medial recti is encountered distal to the termination of the common tendinous ring. The intraoperatively viewed length of this segment has not been quantified. To assist clinical recognition of this structure, our study quantifies its length and proposes the standardized nomenclature term of inferomedial extraocular muscle raphe (IM-EOMR).

Anterior segment infiltration as the sole manifestation of relapse is exceptionally uncommon and may mimic noninfectious uveitis, leading to diagnostic delay. We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with a history of B-cell precursor ALL, diagnosed at age 2 and treated according to the ALL IC BFM 2009 protocol.

Purpose: To evaluate tilt, decentration, and axial stability of the Clareon toric intraocular lens (TIOL) (CNW0T3-9; Alcon Laboratories, Inc) over a 6-month follow-up period.
Methods: A single-center, prospective, interventional clinical trial was conducted with a study population of 130 eyes from 82 patients who received a Clareon TIOL. Tilt, decentration, and the aqueous depth were determined preoperatively and at 1 week and 6 months postoperatively using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (Casia 2; Tomey Corporation).
