    (2018) Sezenoz, Almila Sarigul; Gungor, Sirel Gur; Kiratli, Hayyam; Akman, Ahmet; 0000-0002-7030-5454; 0000-0001-6178-8362; 0000-0003-2100-4740; 28914584; AAJ-4860-2021; AAD-5967-2021
    Purpose: To report a case of circumferential neuroepithelial cyst of the ciliary body presenting with pigment dispersion (PD) and ocular hypertension. Case report: 48-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of pain in the left eye. On examination, visual acuity of the left eye was 0.9, and the intraocular pressure was 48 mmHg. Biomicroscopic anterior segment examination of the left eye revealed 4+ pigmented cells in the anterior chamber. Active PD from the pupillary region at 11 o'clock was noticed at the time of the examination. Ultrasound biomicroscopy demonstrated 360o cystic lesions of the ciliary body in the left eye. The patient was diagnosed as neuroepithelial cyst of the ciliary body. Conclusion: Our case is unique as it is the first case of circumferential neuroepithelial ciliary body cyst presenting with acute PD and ocular hypertension.

    Metastatic Embryonal Conjunctival Rhabdomyosarcoma in a 4-Year-Old Boy
    (2017) Sezenoz, Almila Sarigul; Karalezli, Aylin; Arat, Yonca Ozkan; Coban, Gokcen; Kiratli, Hayyam; Terzi, Aysen; 0000-0002-4010-2883; 0000-0002-7030-5454; 0000-0002-6578-7444; 26505233; P-7533-2014; AAJ-4860-2021
    The authors report the case of a 4-year-old boy who presented with unilateral ptosis and a mass lesion of palpebral conjunctiva of the left upper eyelid, that had been present for 2 weeks, and had rapidly enlarged. The lesion was salmon colored and was easily distinguished from the conjunctiva. There was no obvious orbital extension in the MRI studies. Excisional biopsy was performed through a conjunctival approach. The histopathology was consistent with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Thoracoabdominal CT scans revealed nodules in both lungs, indicating stage 4 disease. The patient received chemotheraphy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Rhabdomyosarcoma confined to the conjunctiva and distant metastasis without orbital involvement is rare. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of any atypical conjunctival mass lesions in children, and histopathology is necessary to establish proper treatment. As the case indicates, detailed systemic evaluation and careful systemic follow up of these patients are mandatory.
