    Post-thyroidectomy iatrogenic Horner's syndrome with heterochromia
    (Iranian Society of Ophthalmology, 2016) Ulusoy M.O.; Kivanç S.A.; Atakan M.; Mayali H.
    Purpose: To present a case of iatrogenic Horner's syndrome seen together with the heterochromia in the post-thyroidectomy period. Methods: A 23-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of low vision in the eye and difference in eye color that developed over the past two years. In the left eye, myosis and minimal ptosis (~1 mm) was detected, and the color of the iris was lighter than the right eye. Results: The pre-diagnosis of left iatrogenic Horner's syndrome was finalized after 0.5% topical apraclonidine test. Conclusion: Heterochromia can be observed in iatrogenic Horner's syndrome. © 2016 Iranian Society of Ophthalmology.

    Miliary microemboli of the retinal arterioles and choriocapillaris after subcutaneous injection of triamcinolone acetonide
    (Iranian Society of Ophthalmology, 2019) Kayikcioglu O.R.; Altinisik M.; Inan S.; Kurt E.
    Purpose: To report a case of triamcinolone crystals associated miliary microemboli of the retinal arterioles and choriocapillaris. Methods: A 30-year-old woman with alopecia areata on her left auriculotemporal scalp, scheduled for 10 mg/ml triamcinolone acetonide steroid injections (maximum volume of 3 ml per session) for 1 month intervals, presented with a sudden decrease in vision in her left eye after 1 ml injection in a dermatology clinic. Results: On ocular examination her best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was hand movement in the left eye. Retinal examination showed multiple white-yellow steroid emboli in the superior and inferior temporal branch retinal arterioles which involves macula. Also there were diffuse yellow infiltrates in the choroid consistent with choroidal microemboli. Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography images were suggestive for the retinal and choroidal ischemia. Conclusion: Subcutaneous triamcinolon injection may cause embolic occlusion of retinal and choroidal capillaries. © 2018 Iranian Society of Ophthalmology
