Chalazion Treatment
Chalazion Treatment This material will help you understand treatments for chalazion. What is a chalazion? A chalazion is a red, tender lump in the eyelid. It is also known as a stye. The swelling occurs because one of the oil glands that is next to each eyelash can get backed up and become inflamed. This is very similar to a pimple. How is a chalazion treated? In many cases, chalazia resolve on their own without treatment. Applying a warm compress over your eye for 5- 10 minutes two to four times a day can soften the oil that is backed up. This helps the chalazion heal. If the chalazion does not heal after one month of using warm compresses, your doctor may suggest surgical removal or injection with medications to help it heal faster. How is a chalazion surgically removed? Surgical removal of a chalazion is an outpatient procedure. Before the procedure, your doctor will give you a local anesthetic to numb the area around the chalazion. Next, your doctor will place a clamp to help hold your eyelid in place for the procedure. That way, you will not need to worry about keeping your eyelid open for the procedure. The doctor will then make a small incision in the eyelid and remove the chalazion with a special instrument. The location of the incision (front or back of the eyelid) depends on the size of the chalazion. Small chalazia can be removed by making an incision on the inside of the eyelid. If your chalazion is large, the doctor may make an incision on the front of the eyelid and close it with dissolvable stitches. -

Sometimes it results in grave results such as vision loss. We report a case of globe perforation with severe vision loss following chalazion removal. A 45 years old lady came to us 15 days after the chalazion surgery who, on examination revealed a pale optic disc, retinal hemorrhage and a perforation site following chalazion surgery in left eye. Care should be taken while giving block and further injection of anaesthetic agent should be withheld if resistance is encountered.

Outcomes of Vitrectomy for Retinal Detachment in a Patient with Ehlers
Lumi et al. J Med Case Reports (2021) 15:249 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13256-021-02855-w CASE REPORT Open Access Outcomes of vitrectomy for retinal detachment in a patient with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome type IV: a case report Xhevat Lumi1*, Gaber Bergant2, Anila Lumi1 and Mina Mahnic1 Abstract Background: The Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by fragile blood vessels and an increased tendency for bleeding and scarring. Here, we report the outcome of a pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in a patient with EDS type IV (vascular type). Case presentation: A 40-year-old Slovenian man with high myopia, unilateral bullous retinal detachment, and vitre- ous hemorrhage was referred for surgery. The patient had a history of colon perforation, muscle and arterial rupture in both lower limbs, and recurrent shoulder joint luxations. Genetic testing revealed a pathogenic mutation in the COL3A1 gene. The patient underwent a 25-gauge three-port pars plana vitrectomy. The tendency for bleeding during surgery was prevented by endodiathermy applied to the edges of the retinal breaks. Endolaser photocoagulation was performed under air. The surgical procedure was completed with the injection of gas tamponade, followed by the patient remaining for a few days in a face-down position. Mild postoperative vitreous hemorrhage was resorbed in frst week after the surgery. Postoperative extensive pigment dispersion on the posterior lens face persisted for several weeks. After the gas tamponade had resorbed, the retina was fat and remained attached during the follow-up period.
