Brain abnormalities in infantile esotropia as predictor for consecutive exotropia.

Cerebral palsy, neurological abnormalities, prematurity or periventricular lesions may affect motor and sensory fusion mechanisms that favorably control eye alignment. White matter damage of immaturity (WMDI) is a form of white matter brain injury characterized by the necrosis of white matter near the lateral ventricles. In these cases, it is difficult to establish fusion after strabismus surgery and consecutive deviations may be seen more frequently especially in association with WMDI.

Evaluation of the retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell complex thicknesses in patients with exfoliation syndrome.

Background/aim: This study aimed to evaluate retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thicknesses using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in both unilateral and bilateral exfoliation syndrome (XFS) patients

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with unilateral XFS, 20 patients with bilateral XFS, and 23 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Eyes with XFS were compared with both fellow eyes and age-matched control subject eyes in terms of mean and segmental RNFL thickness and minimum, mean, and segmental GCC thickness.

Results: In the bilateral XFS group, minimum GCC of the right eye (75.

Results of Screening in Schools for Visually Impaired Children.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the causes of visual impairment in children attending schools for students with visual impairment and to identify children suitable for treatment and rehabilitation.

Materials And Methods: All students were examined in our department by a pediatric ophthalmologist and an ophthalmologist experienced in low vision and visual rehabilitation. The children's medical histories were recorded.

Comparison of Surgical Success for Infantile Esotropia and Strabismus Associated with Neurological Impairment.

Purpose: Surgery for strabismus associated with neurological impairment is assumed to have unsatisfactory results in comparison with other strabismus cases. The aim of this study is to compare the surgical success rates of infantile esotropia (IE) and strabismus associated with neurological impairment.

Methods: The records of 103 patients that received operations for IE and strabismus associated with neurological impairment between January 1994 and May 2014 were reviewed retrospectively.

Bell's palsy during interferon alpha 2a treatment in a case with Behçet uveitis.

Purpose: To present a case who developed Bell's palsy while using interferon alpha 2a for Behçet uveitis.

Methods: A patient with Behçet disease presented with decreased vision in his right eye. Ophthalmic examination, fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography were performed.
