PurposeThe purpose of this article is to report a case of Lemierre’s Syndrome producing unilateral endogenous endophthalmitis in a healthy, young woman with a history of tonsillitis.Case report/observationsA 17-year-old healthy woman developed fever after a few days of sore throat. She later developed pneumonia with septic signs, leading to admission to the Intensive Care Unit. Lemierre Syndrome was diagnosed due to multiple septic pulmonary emboli and signs of sepsis following a recent episode of tonsillitis. During hospitalization, the patient complained of decreased visual acuity and floaters in her left eye. Ophthalmological examination revealed papillary edema, vitritis, foci of chorioretinitis in the macula and Roth’s spots, confirming the diagnosis of endogenous endophthalmitis. Subsequently, she underwent appropriate treatment, progressing satisfactorily.Conclusion and importanceAlthough ophthalmological manifestations are rare, due to the pathophysiological characteristics of Lemierre’s Syndrome, all patients should underwent standard ophthalmologic assessment, even in the absence of ophthalmic symptoms or visible findings, as part of a multidisciplinary management approach.

Introduction: We present a rare occurrence of bilateral corneal melting and a left-eye corneal perforation in an oncologic patient undergoing a new biological therapy. Case Presentation: A 63-year-old male with a two-day history of a painful left red eye and bilateral visual impairment was enrolled in a multicenter phase-II study comparing tobemstomig/RO7247669, a PD1-LAG3 bispecific antibody, with nivolumab. Clinical examination revealed a bilateral central corneal thinning, and corneal OCT imaging indicated a significant stromal thinning of 124 μm in the right eye and a central corneal perforation of 286 μm in the left eye. Subsequently, the patient underwent surgical intervention involving an autologous partial scleral patch with a Gundersen conjunctival flap in the left eye, alongside a comprehensive topical and systemic treatment regimen. Due to this immune-related adverse event, the patient was excluded from the clinical trial subsequently later revealing he had been on the bispecific treatment. Conclusion: While immune checkpoint inhibitors hold promise in oncology, they can lead to ocular surface issues, including dry-eye keratitis and, in severe cases, anterior segment thinning culminating in corneal perforation. Timely withdrawal of immunotherapy, coupled with multi-level treatment involving anti-inflammatory and corneal healing approaches, is crucial. In cases of corneal perforation, surgical intervention such as cyanoacrylate application or tectonic surgery becomes imperative.

Abstract Introduction: The term white dot syndromes has been used to refer conditions that differ in their morphology and prognosis. We report three cases of different pathologies encompassed within the white dot syndromes. Case Presentations: Case 1: A 26-year-old female presented with scotoma in her right eye. Fundus examination revealed multiple white dots that demonstrated early hyperfluorescence with late staining on FA. OCT showed discontinuities in inner segment-outer segment junction associated with columnar-shaped outer retinal hyperreflective bands. AF revealed multiple hyperautofluorescent dots around the posterior pole, compatible with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome. The symptoms improved without treatment. Case 2: A 16-year-old male presented with retinal lesions compatible with punctate inner choroidopathy in his right eye. OCT showed lesion in the outer retinal layer. FAF revealed parafoveal hypoautofluorescent dots with early hyperfluorescence and late staining on FFA. After oral corticotherapy, they progress to atrophic scars. Case 3: A 65-year-old male presented with scotoma and decreased vision in his right eye. OCT showed hyperreflectivity in the outer layer that progresses to a large atrophic plaque with foveal affectation. FAF demonstrated hyperautofluorescent placoid lesion occupying macular area, compatible with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy. Retinal lesions improved with systemic corticosteroids. Conclusion: The FAF pattern helps know the distribution of the lesions. It represents a noninvasive method that has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of white dot syndromes.
