Bilateral Congenital Trochlear-Oculomotor Synkinesis in a 5-Month-Old Infant.

Oculomotor synkinesis is an unusual phenomenon that encompasses various presentations with few associations reported in the literature. It can occur with or without a previous setting of oculomotor nerve injury. The authors present the first reported case of bilateral congenital trochlear-oculomotor synkinesis in a 5-month-old infant.

Bilateral horizontal gaze palsy as an initial presentation of a clinically isolated syndrome: A case report.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system. It has a wide range of manifestations and commonly affects the visual system. Many patients with MS report decreased vision, diplopia, nystagmus, and abnormal ocular motility.

Suspected Enhanced S-Cone Syndrome: A Case Report.

Enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS) is a rare type of retinal dystrophy disorder that is linked to NR2E3 gene mutation and NRL gene mutations less widely. The disease is characterized by increased S-cones number and marked degeneration in rods and M- and L-cone receptors. The patient suffers from night blindness from an early age.

Congenital Ptosis Associated With Adduction as a Dysinnervation Disorder: A Report of a Rare Case.

The levator palpebrae superioris is the primary muscle responsible for elevation of the eyelid. This muscle is innervated by the third intracranial nerve. Any pathology affecting the muscle or the supplying nerve can lead to blepharoptosis.

Pediatric Recurrent Unilateral Trochleitis in Association With Paranasal Sinusitis: A Case Report.

Trochleitis is an easily treatable condition; however, it is often misdiagnosed by many clinicians because of its rare incidence. We report the case of a 14-year-old Saudi male patient, known to have type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and pansinusitis, who presented to the emergency department with a one-day history of severe right periorbital pain exacerbated by upgaze and supraduction. There was intense point tenderness on palpation over the trochlear region of the orbit with no underlying swelling or redness.

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome: A Rare Case From Ophthalmology Perspective.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare multisystem disease, with autosomal recessive inheritance and genetic heterogeneity characterized by post-axial polydactyl, cone-rods dystrophy, and central obesity. BBS involves many organs in the body with variable complications and the life span of affected individuals. Clinical confirmation of the disorder can be done using a revised criterion that consists of primary or major features and secondary or minor features.

Neonatal Endogenous Endophthalmitis: A Case Report.

The aim of this study is to share our experience of a baby boy patient who presented with rare endogenous endophthalmitis that ended up with exudative retinal detachment; emphasizing the clinical presentation, follow-ups progression, and the management plan. A case report of a one-month-old preterm baby boy presented with eye discharge in his left eye (OS) associated with eyelid swelling and chemosis for four days. His clinical examination revealed a congested left eye with proptosis, absent red reflex, and normal intraocular pressure (IOP) while a portable slit-lamp examination showed an edematous left eye with cloudy cornea but no infiltrates and no view to the posterior segment.

Effect of Horizontal Strabismus Surgery on the Refractive Status.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of horizontal strabismus surgery on the refractive and astigmatic status of eyes following horizontal muscle surgery using double-angle vector analysis.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 137 patients (250 eyes) conducted between February 1997 and October 2010 in patients who had unilateral or bilateral recession or monocular recession and/or underwent resection of horizontal muscles by a single surgeon. Refraction data were obtained at 1-2 weeks preoperative and at 4-6 weeks and 4-6 months postoperative.
