  • Orbital Pseudotumor caused by a foreign body – a case report
    2013
    Co-Authors: Mariak Z, Ywalewski R, Wojnar M, Sherkawey N
    Abstract:

    The case of a patient with a foreign body in the Orbit is presented. The presence of this foreign body induced an aggressively expanding Pseudotumor, infiltrating the eyelids, Orbital muscles and the sclera. The process of diagnosis, management and the results of treatment are described. This case is noteworthy because of the atypical course of the disease in a patient with a foreign body following ocular injury. Key words: foreign body, Orbit, Pseudotumor

  • Charles Bonnet syndrome: two case reports and review of the literature
    Journal of Neurology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Alberto Lerario, Andrea Ciammola, Barbara Poletti, Floriano Girotti, Vincenzo Silani
    Abstract:

    Visual hallucinations (VHs) can be associated with a variety of clinical conditions, and are also experienced by healthy people due to visual impairment. The condition is known as Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS). The circumstances favoring VHs support the hypothesis that sensory deprivation enhances the ongoing activity of the visual system after sensory loss. Clinician should be aware that a significant proportion of visually impaired patients experience complex VHs, which are sometimes distressing. Herein, we report two cases of CBS. Case 1 is a 60-year-old man with visual impairment due to Orbit Pseudotumor in autoimmune hypothyroidism. Case 2 is an 87-year-old woman with Parkinson’s disease and a 15-year history of intermittent complex VHs due to age-related macular degeneration in both eyes. In both cases investigations for alternative pathological causes of VHs were negative and, therefore, the aetiology of hallucinations was attributed to CBS. The course and treatment of CBS patients vary according to the nature of the visual dysfunction. Drug treatments remain partially satisfactory, with individual cases successfully treated with atypical antipsychotics. Nonpharmacological interventions aimed to reduce the visual pathway deprivation. Reassurance of the benign nature of CBS is essential to support patients and reduce caregiver’s burden.
