    AIM: To evaluate central macular thickness (CMT) and mean choroidal thickness (MCT) in eyes with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), before and after ranibizumab treatment using spectral domain -optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS: Forty -two patients with unilateral BRVO and macular edema were included in this study. There were 25 men and 17 women. Using SD-OCT, choroidal thickness was measured at 500 mu m intervals up to 1500 mu m temporal and nasal to the fovea. MCT was calculated based on the average of the 7 locations. All the eyes with BRVO were treated with intravitreal ranibizumab (0.5 mg/0.05 mL). Comparisons between the BRVO and fellow eyes were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test. Pre-injection and post-injection measurements were analyzed using Wilcoxon test and repeated measure analysis. RESULTS: At baseline, there was a significant difference between the BRVO and fellow eyes in MCT [BRVO eyes 245 (165-330) mu m, fellow eyes 229 (157-327) mu m] and CMT [BRVO eyes 463 (266-899) mu m, fellow eyes 235 (148-378) mu m (P=0.041, 0.0001, respectively)]. Following treatment, CMT [295 (141-558) mu m] and MCT [229 (157329) mu m] decreased significantly compared to the baseline measurements (P=0.001, 0.006, respectively). Also BCVA (logMAR) improved significantly (P=0.0001) in the BRVO eyes following treatment. After treatment CMT [BRVO eyes 295 (141-558) mu m, fellow eyes 234 (157-351) mu m] and MCT [BRVO eyes 229 (157-329) mu m, fellow eyes 233 (162-286) mu m] values did not reveal any significant difference in BRVO eyes and fellow eyes (P=0.051, 0.824, respectively). CONCLUSION: In eyes with BRVO, CMT and MCT values are greater than the fellow eyes, and decrease significantly following ranibizumab injection.

    Spindle cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva: A rare entity
    (2016) Coban-Karatas, Muge; Bal, Nebil; Altan-Yaycioglu, Rana; Terzi, Aysen; 27380985
    An 85-year-old male presented with painless bulging lesion over the cornea. Clinical history, diagnostic imaging studies, and histopathologic sections were evaluated. The patient clinically displayed an vascularized conjunctival lesion located at the superior bulbar conjunctiva with extension onto cornea covering 2/3 of his pupillary aperture superiorly. His visual acuity was counting fingers at 4 m. The patient underwent a total excision of the lesion including conjunctival and corneal parts. Histopathologic evaluation revealed spindle cell carcinoma which involves the whole conjunctival squamous epithelium with significant polarity loss, nuclear enlargement with hyperchromasia and pleomorphism, and mitotic activity. Diagnosis of spindle cell carcinoma is challenging because of overlapping histopathological features with other spindle cell tumors. The detailed pathologic examination is very important for the decision of proper treatment.
