Ex-PRESS mini-shunt implanted in a pregnant patient with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.

Introduction: The failure rate of both filtration surgery and of aqueous shunt implantation is higher for iridocorneal endothelial syndrome than in other scenarios, due to the continuous proliferation of abnormal endothelial cells over the trabecular meshwork and the filtration area and also due to the more pronounced cicatrizing response shown by these young patients. We present the first case ever described in the literature of a pregnant patient with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome and uncontrolled ocular hypertension who was implanted an Ex-PRESS mini-shunt.

Clinical Case: A 35-year-old female presented with diminution of vision in the left eye for 2 months.

Classical familial homocystinuria in an adult presenting as an isolated lens subluxation.

To report a case of late diagnosis of a classical familial homocystinuria based on an ophthalmologic examination. A 35-year-old male with Marfan-like phenotype complained of a progressive increase of myopia during the previous 2 years. Ophthalmologic exploration showed a bilateral subluxation of the lens with inferior and nasal displacement.

Clinicopathological study of 21 cases of eyelid actinic keratosis.

Background: Actinic keratosis (AK) is an intraepidermal malignancy precursor form of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which generally occurs in fair-skinned individuals with long-term sun exposure. We present a case series of AKs on the eyelid.

Methods: This was a retrospective study.

Schwannoma of the eyelid: report of two cases.

Schwannomas are rare benign neurogenic tumors that show differentiation of Schwann cells that form the neural sheath. Only five reports of eyelid schwannomas in adults have been found in the English literature. We report the unusual cases of two females, aged 41 and 70 years, who developed eyelid schwannomas.
