Clinical, biochemical and molecular characterization of Wilson's disease in Moroccan patients.

Background: Wilson Disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disease caused by mutations in the gene. WD is characterized by heterogeneous clinical presentations expressed by hepatic and neuropsychiatric phenotypes. The disease is difficult to diagnose, and misdiagnosed cases are commonly seen.

[Results of congenital cataract surgery using 2,2 microincision in children before the age of 5 years].

Background: Thanks to the recent advances of the microsurgical techniques, the results of the congenital cataract surgery in children less than 5 years old have considerably improved. However, the age of implantation and the intraocular lens power calculation remain subjects of controversies.

Aim: To evaluate the results of 2.

[Conjunctival limbal autograft versus simple excision with intra-operative mitomycin C in pterygium surgery: a comparative study].

Purpose: The purpose of our study is to evaluate the long-term anatomical and functional results of conjunctival-limbal autograft (AGCL) compared to simple excision with intraoperative mitomycin C.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a prospective comparative study of 60 eyes of 60 patients presenting with primary pterygium. These patients were divided into two groups, matched according to the age and the stage of the pterygium.

[Proliferative diabetic retinopathy inauguring gestational diabetes].

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is one of the diabetic microangiopathy complications generally occurring after insulin-dependent diabetes has evolved for a few years.

Observation: We report a 24-year-old pregnant woman with severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy discovered at the time of the gestational diabetes diagnosis. Argon laser photocoagulation of retinal ischemic territories was initiated.

[Urgent penetrating keratoplasty in perforated infectious corneal ulcers].

Purpose: To evaluate anatomical and functional prognosis of urgent penetrating keratoplasty in perforated infectious corneal ulcers.

Methods: Seven eyes of seven patients had an urgent penetrating keratoplasty for perforated infectious corneal ulcers. Anatomical success was defined by eradication of infection and preservation of eye from enucleation and phthisis bulbi.
