Straatsma syndrome is an uncommon ocular condition generally comprised of myelinated retinal nerve fiber layer, myopia, and amblyopia. Associated ocular disorders include strabismus, nystagmus, optic nerve hypoplasia, and iris heterochromia. We report the case of a 6-year-old girl with unilateral Straatsma syndrome and an acquired cataract that required surgical extraction.

Methods: The medical records of all patients <19 years of age diagnosed with keratoconus while residing in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from January 1, 1975, through December 31, 2019, were retrospectively reviewed. The records of patients <19 years with keratoconus examined at our institution from January 1, 2001, through December 31, 2020, were also reviewed.
We investigated the relationship between optic nerve (ON) size and visual acuity in children with optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH). The medical records of patients <19 years with ONH who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and visual acuity assessment were reviewed. ON diameter at orbital and cisternal segments was assessed independently by two neuroradiologists and compared with visual acuity.

This study reports on the incidence and demographics of a population-based cohort of children diagnosed with diabetes over a 50-year period.
Methods: Medical records of patients < 22 years diagnosed with diabetes from January 1, 1970, through December 31, 2019, were retrospectively reviewed using the Rochester Epidemiology Project, a database of clinics and hospitals in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the incidence and outcomes of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) in infants with craniofacial abnormalities, finding a 2.05% occurrence among CNLDO patients in a specific US county over a decade.
- It reports that infants with craniofacial conditions are diagnosed later and require surgical probing more frequently than those without abnormalities (31.7% vs 14.5%, respectively).
- The study suggests that while many cases of CNLDO resolve on their own by age one, closer monitoring and potential surgical intervention may be necessary for those with craniofacial abnormalities.
