Plateau iris in children.

Narrow iridocorneal angles, a very rare condition in the pediatric population, can lead to visual loss through angle closure glaucoma. In the workup for patients with narrow iridocorneal angles, plateau iris must be considered in the differential diagnosis. We describe 5 children with plateau iris, the youngest 5 years of age.

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography versus ultrasound biomicroscopy for imaging of nonpigmented iris tumors.

Purpose: To evaluate the use of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) for imaging of nonpigmented iris tumors, through its comparison with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Methods: Consecutive patients with non-pigmented iris tumors, not extending to the ciliary body, who were concurrently evaluated with SD-OCT and UBM were included.

Role of optical coherence tomography in verifying the specificity of ultrasonography in detecting subtle subretinal fluid associated with small choroidal melanocytic tumors.

Purpose: To report the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in verifying the specificity of the ultrasonographic "apical double echo" sign in detecting subtle subretinal fluid (SRF) associated with small choroidal melanocytic tumors.

Methods: Retrospective review of consecutive patients demonstrating ultrasonographic "apical double echo," indicative of subtle SRF, who concurrently underwent OCT on initial evaluation of untreated small choroidal melanocytic tumors. Ultrasonography was performed with eyecubed version 3, ophthalmic ultrasound system (Ellex/Innovative Imaging, Inc, Adelaide, Australia) and OCT with spectral-domain OCT, Cirrus HD-OCT, model 4000 (Carl Zeiss; Meditec, Dublin, CA).
