    Does topical bevacizumab prevent postoperative recurrence after pterygium surgery with conjunctival autografting?
    (2014) Karalezli, Aylin; Kucukerdonmez, Cem; Akova, Yonca A.; Koktekir, Bengu Ekinci
    AIM: To assess the effect of topical bevacizumab use on postoperative pterygium recurrence in eyes who underwent pterygium excision with limbal -conjunctival autograft transplantation (LCAT). METHODS: eighty -eight eyes of 88 patients with primary pterygium were included. Pterygia were graded preoperatively from type 1 to type 3 (type 1 atrophic, type 3 inflamed) according to the inflammatory status. The eyes were preoperatively randomized to receive topical steroid and antibiotic treatment (group 1, 46 eyes) and additional topical bevacizumab (5 mg/mL; group 2, 42 eyes) in the postoperative period. All eyes underwent pterygium excision and LCAT. Medications were tapered and discontinued at one month. Postoperative complications and recurrence rates were recorded. RESULTS: The mean follow -up duration was 29.3 +/- 4.2mo (24-52mo) and 28.5 +/- 3.4 (24-48mo) in group 1 and 2, respectively (P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences regarding the age or gender between groups (P>0.05). Also, the difference between groups with respect to pterygium type was not significant. During the follow -up period, recurrence developed in 2 eyes (4.3%) in group 1, whereas in one eye (2.4%) in group 2. No statistically significant difference between groups was found in recurrence rates (P>0.05). No re-operation for recurrence was necessary during the follow-up period in both groups. CONCLUSION: Topical bevacizumab seems to have no additonal effect on pterygium recurrence after LCAT.

    Atypical Herpetic Corneal Endothelitis:: A Case Report
    (2016) Karalezli, Aylin; Kucukoduk, Ali; Bozkurt, Banu
    Corneal endotheliitis; frequently caused by viruses, is a disorder in which corneal endothelium is the primary site of the inflammation. We discuss a case of atypical herpetic endotheliitis presented with unilateral diffuse corneal edema with no signs of anterior chamber reaction.

    Pseudoduplication of the optic disc in moderate myopia
    (2016) Ercan, Zeynep Eylul; Karalezli, Aylin; Coban, Gokcen; 0000-0002-9915-3781; 28003787; AAQ-3136-2020
    We report a case of optic disc pseudoduplication without pathological myopia. A 79-year-old woman presented with gradually decreased vision. Fundus examination showed macular drusen in both eyes and subretinal haemorrhage in the left eye. Both optic discs appeared to be tilted and the left optic disc was seen to be inferiorly duplicated. Pseudodoubling of the optic discs can be caused by optic disc and peripapillary chorioretinal colobomas and pathological myopia. Considering that our patient did not have enough axial length to merit a diagnosis of pathological myopia and no pathological fundus lesions typical of elongated sclera, we suggest that acquired pseudoduplication is not a condition unique to pathological myopia, but can occur in all myopic patients. The clinical materials, including ophthalmological examination, fundus fluorescent angiography and MRI scan of the orbit, were reported, and its pertinent literatures were reviewed.
