Publication An Unusual Presentation of Giant Cell tumour (osteoclastoma)(Kathmandu University, 2003) Pradhan, E; Shrestha, JK; Karmacharya, PCKThe number of well-documented true giant cell tumours arising in any of the craniofacial bones is small, but they do exist. A 19 year old female, Ms. KS, presented with complain of progressive enlargement of facial bones especially jaw bones, then orbit symmetrically since the age of 7. There was bilateral gross enlargement of mandible, maxilla, orbital walls, causing displacement of eye medially and upwards. The visual acuity of both eyes were 6/36 and 6/18 with best correction. Extra ocular movements were restricted because of bony growth and conjunctiva over inferior fornix were keratinized due to exposure. Fine needle aspiration (FNAC) from the side of bony growth showed plenty of osteoclasts with multinucleated giant cells. The level of serum alkaline phosphatase were highly increased. She underwent orbitotomy and a part of tissue was sent for biopsy which revealed multiples of mononucleargiant cells and tumour cells. Key Words: osteoclastoma, craniofacial bones, visual acuity, orbitotomy.Publication Association of primary glaucomas with retinal vein occlusion(Kathmandu University, 2008) Sherpa, D; Shakya, S; Shrestha, JKAbstract Aims and Objectives: To determine the association of Primary glaucoma with retinal vein occlusion. Methodology: A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out in B.P. Koirala Lions Centre for Ophthalmic Studies from April 2002-July 2003. All diagnosed cases of retinal vein occlusion were evaluated in detail for the presence of primary glaucoma. Detailed history was taken. Best corrected visual acuity was recorded, slit-lamp evaluation of anterior segment was performed, intraocular pressure was assessed with the help of applanation tonometer, gonioscopy was done and fundus evaluation was done under full mydriasis. Results: Out of 50 patients, 19 (38%) were central retinal vein occlusion and 31(62%) were branch retinal vein occlusion. Majority of the retinal vein occlusion patients were in the age group of (61-70years) 12 out of 50 patients (24%). There were 12 patients of primary glaucoma in 50 patients of retinal vein occlusion. Out of which 11 patients had primary open angle glaucoma and 1 patient had primary angle closure glaucoma. Conclusion: This study shows association of primary glaucoma as a risk factor of retinal vein occlusion. Evaluation of retinal vein occlusion patients for primary glaucoma would be worthwhile for early detection and prevention of blindness. Keywords: Primary open angel glaucoma (POAG), Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG), Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
