Background and aim Given the tremendous developments in visualization science, there are many congenital and acquired internal ear anomalies that have no radiological signs. However, visualization is an important instrument for the assessment of congenital and acquired sensory neural hearing loss (SNHL) triggers. The aim is to assess the value of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and MRI in internal ear abnormality detection in children with SNHL. Patients and methods This study included 100 children of 10 years or younger with SNHL. The cochlea, the vestibule, the three semicircular canals, the endolymphatic duct, and the internal acoustic canal. In addition, three-dimensional DRIVE MRI gives good demonstration of all four nerves within the internal acoustic canal. Results A total of 46 malformations were detected in only 25 patients with 42 malformations that were detected in MDCT examination presenting 91% of all abnormalities, while in MRI examination, 44 malformations are detected presenting 96% of all abnormalities. MDCT showed accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity 96.7, 91.3, and 100%, respectively, while for MRI, it showed accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity 98.3, 95.7, and 100%, respectively. Conclusion Imaging plays an important role in the workup of children with SNHL. Therefore, it is imperative to define the etiology of hearing loss. High-resolution CT and MRI modalities are the two principal radiological investigations to detect various pathologies in the inner ear. ‘Dual-modality imaging’ using both MRI and CT, made sense for many patients because the dual-scan approaches detect abnormalities related to hearing loss that would not otherwise be found using either modality alone.

Background and aim Pityriasis versicolor is a common chronic superficial fungal infection that manifests during or after puberty in hot humid temperatures. Topical treatments, which are the first line of treatment, are divided into nonspecific and specific antifungal agents; however, the therapeutic approaches for pityriasis versicolor depend mainly on synthetic antifungal drugs, in particular ketoconazole. However, due to the frequent recurrence of this disease, and the widespread application of azole drugs, resistant strains have emerged leading to increasingly failed treatment rates. Retinoic acid creams are also effective against pityriasis versicolor. Especially adapalene gel that has less irritation compared with other topical retinoid products and also has rapid onset of action. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination treatment of ketoconazole cream 2% and adapalene gel 0.01% in the treatment of pityriasis versicolor. Patients and methods In all, 100 patients were divided equally into two groups: group 1 patients were treated with topical application ketoconazole 2% cream and adapalene 0.1% gel once daily for a total duration of 2 weeks. Group 2 patients were treated with a topical application ketoconazole 2% cream for a total duration of 2 weeks. Results There was significant improvement rates in the combined group than ketoconazole-only group with P value=0.023. Adepalene+ketoconacole group had more irritation as a side effect than the ketoconazole group with significant P value=0.001. Conclusion The combination of adapalene 0.1% gel and ketoconazole 2% cream is safe, rapid, and effective in the treatment of pityriasis versicolor.

Background and aim Endothelium of the cornea is susceptible to surgical trauma during phacoemulsification from ultrasound energy. Several studies have reported various results of corneal changes after phacoemulsification in diabetic and healthy patients. The aim was to evaluate and compare changes in precorneal tear film, anterior and posterior corneal surfaces, endothelial cell changes, and central corneal thickness (CCT) between diabetic and healthy patients before and after uneventful phacoemulsification. Patients and methods A total of 40 eyes of 40 patients who were scheduled for cataract surgery were divided into group 1 (20 eyes in nondiabetic patients) and group 2 (20 eyes in diabetic patients). Ophthalmological examinations, including uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp to examine anterior and posterior corneal surfaces, tear film breakup time test (TBUT), anterior chamber depth by IOL Master (Topcon ALADDIN HW2.0), and specular microscopy (Topcon SP-1P, made In Japan), were done preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. Results Significant differences were found between preoperative and postoperative periods in both groups regarding BCVA, TBUT, CCT, endothelial cell density (ECD), coefficient of variation, and hexagonal cells, except that changes became insignificant with respect to CCT at 3 months in nondiabetic and at 1 week and 3 months in diabetic and in CD at 1 month in healthy patients. Conclusion There were significant changes in BCVA, TBUT, CCT, and ECD after phacoemulsification in the diabetic and healthy groups. There was a significant delay in the recovery of CCT 1 month after phacoemulsification in the diabetic compared with healthy individuals.

Background and aim Pathological myopia (PM) is one of the main causes of blindness globally, and its prevalence continues to increase rapidly over time. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of PM in the clinical population in Assiut City, Upper Egypt, during a period of 1 year. Patients and methods This cross-sectional study was carried out on a clinical population attending a large ophthalmology center in Assiut City, Upper Egypt, during the period from January to December 2018. All patients were subjected to full ophthalmologic examination. The noncycloplegic refraction was measured using an autorefractometer. The examined eyes were diagnosed as PM if they had refraction of more than or equal to −6 D spherical equivalent or an axial length of more than or equal to 25.5 mm. Results The study included 1548 eyes of 812 patients. Pathologically myopic eyes represented 152 eyes, with a prevalence of 9.82%. Of the total included patients, 102 (12.6%) patients had at least one pathologically myopic eye. Patients with bilateral PM represented 73 (71.6%) cases. Their refractive error ranged from −6.0 to −26.0 D, with a mean of −13.24±4.13 D, and their mean axial length was 28.2±2.14 mm and ranged from 26.1 to 35.2 mm. Conclusion The prevalence of PM in the studied sample was 9.82%, which was obviously higher compared with studies on other populations. Further large community-based studies are warranted to determine its prevalence as a step to overcome this true burden.

Background and aim The aim was to assess the effectiveness of limbal relaxing incisions (LRIs) in treatment of astigmatism in patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgeries. Patients and methods Forty-eight eyes of 48 patients suffering from senile cataracts of mean age 64.7±7.9 (range: 50–77) years, and mean corneal astigmatism 1.8±0.73 diopters (D) (range: 1.5–3.5 D) were included in this study. All LRIs were performed at the end of phacoemulsification. Corneal topography results were compared before surgeries and 2 and 6 months after surgeries. Results A statistically significant reduction in the mean corneal astigmatism was seen from 1.8±0.73 D (range: 1.50–3.50) preoperatively to 1.1±0.24 D (range: 0.5–1.7) and 1.4±0.52 D (range: 0.60–1.9) in the second and sixth postoperative months, respectively (P<0.001). Surgical-induced astigmatism (the amount and axis of astigmatism change induced by surgery) was 0.90±0.48 at 2 months and 0.96±0.59 at 6 months. Correction index (calculated by determining the ratio of surgical-induced astigmatism/target-induced astigmatism) was 0.56±0.42 and 0.57±0.33 at 2 and 6 months, respectively. Index of success (ratio of topographic residual astigmatism and target-induced astigmatism) was measured to be 0.45±0.42 and 0.48±0.33 at months 2 and 6 correspondingly. Conclusion Combined LRI and phacoemulsification appears to be safe and fairly effective to correct mild-to-moderate corneal astigmatism. However, undercorrection is a common limitation that may be further managed by modified nomograms in future studies.

Background and aim Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrinopathy affecting women during the childbearing period, with incidences of between 8 and 13%. PCOS is the main cause of anovulatory infertility with a prevalence of 20% in infertile women. We aimed to compare the ovulation induction effect of letrozole versus gonadotropins in patients with PCOS after clomiphene citrate (CC) failure. Patients and methods This is a prospective comparative study held in the El Hussien University Hospital, Al-Azhar University; throughout the duration of 12 months from January 2020 to January 2021. In all, 100 women were enrolled in the study diagnosed with PCOS with an ovulatory infertility and after CC failure, patients were allocated into two groups in a ratio of 1 : 1. The first group included 50 patients and received (letrozole 2.5 mg tablet) twice daily. Results There was higher incidence of confirmed ovulation in the gonadotropin group (62%) compared with the letrozole group (58%) with no significance. It also showed a higher incidence of confirmed pregnancy in the gonadotropin group (34%) compared with the letrozole group (30%), but that difference was statistically nonsignificant. The results showed a shorter duration till the day of trigger in the letrozole group (13.48) compared with the gonadotropin group (14.55), the difference was significant. Endometrial thickness on day of trigger was higher in the gonadotropin group (11.3) compared with the letrozole group (10.9) with no significance. Conclusion In patients who failed to conceive with CC, gonadotropins have higher pregnancy rates for ovulation induction than letrozole with an insignificant statistical difference.
