    OCTOBER: BODY ODDITIES

    Instead of a case this month I have a number of questions regarding odd medical observations.  Interstingly most have something to do with the eye.  Please share your own body oddities with your colleagues.  Just submit a “comment” below or at the end of the answer page.  For the answer page, click the link below.

    Question 1:  Using your ophthalmoscope you notice that not only is the exam amazingly easy, but that the retina is a beautiful patchwork of blues and greens with red arteries and a white optic disc.  What condition does your patient have?

    Question 2:  How can you see the arterial ramifications of your own retina?

    Question 3:  How can you use your hands alone to see clearly underwater, as if you had a mask?

    I tried looking in my dog’s eyes with the ophthalmascope. WAY COOL.
