A healthy thirty-seven-year-old male presented with a gunshot injury to the eye. The bullet was lodged in the orbital apex and had caused rupture of the left globe and extensive damage to the orbital soft tissues including the optic nerve, as well as the bones at the apex. This large metallic foreign body needed to be removed as it was causing continuous bleeding and cellulitis; also, its location was precarious. The surgery for tracking and removal of the bullet presented several interesting pointers which are described in this case report.

Fundus albipunctatus (FA) is a rare, genetic retinal dystrophy that belongs to a heterogeneous group of genetically determined flecked retina syndromes. The presence of multiple retinal yellowish-white lesions of various sizes and configurations, without vascular or optic nerve abnormalities are characteristic features of these disorders. We report a case of fundus albipunctatus in an Indian girl child born out of consanguineous marriage with a novel homozygous nonsense variation in the RDH5 gene.

Warthin tumor is a common and benign salivary gland tumor comprising of 2-15% of all epithelial tumors of the parotid gland. The extra-parotid presentation is seen to be rare at sites like the eyelid, caruncle, and the lacrimal gland. In this study, we have reported an extremely rare case of Warthin cyst of the lacrimal sac in an 82-year-old male patient with swelling over the medial canthal region since the past 2 years.

Central visual acuity in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can be compromised by posterior subcapsular cataract, cystoid macular edema, epiretinal membrane, and macular hole formation. However, features like posterior pole neovascularization, central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) are rare in RP. We report three such cases of atypical associations of common retinal diseases in RP that were detected on multimodal imaging.

An 86-year-old female patient was treated at home after having suffered a syncopal episode preceded by intermittent dyspnea in the previous weeks. Upon admission, the electrocardiogram showed Mobitz 2 second-degree AV (atrioventricular) block. Our patient suffered from systemic hypertension and chronic open-angle glaucoma, treated, respectively, with losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorthiazise 25 mg every 24 h and timolol 0.5% two times a day (introduced three weeks before after being assessed by ophthalmology service at another hospital center). Dyspnea and electrocardiographic blockage signs stopped once ocular beta blockers (timolol) were discontinued. Ocular topical administration is usually the preferred route for drug supply in ophthalmology and especially in glaucoma treatment, but it is not devoid of interactions and adverse effects. The following clinical case describes how the use of topical beta blockers for the treatment of glaucoma may be at the origin of systemic beta-blockade in our patient, a not so common, yet described situation.
