Refractory idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) represents a management challenge due to its significant proportion of treatment failures. Currently, there are no established guidelines for recalcitrant IOI and majority of immunosuppressive agents have resulted in variable outcomes. Advancements of plasmapheresis therapy can play a significant role in ophthalmological diseases. This treatment has shown to produce a satisfactory therapeutic response in immune-mediated neurological conditions. In this case report, we share our successful experience with the use of plasmapheresis therapy in a patient with recalcitrant IOI.

Pleural Effusion II: Symptoms and Management

Pleural Effusion Overview
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
