Giant secondary conjunctival inclusion cysts: a late complication of strabismus surgery.

Purpose: To present giant conjunctival inclusion cysts as a late complication of strabismus surgery.

Design: Retrospective case series of selected patients.

Participants: Four patients with a history of strabismus surgery who had developed giant conjunctival inclusion cysts.

High-frequency ultrasound of anterior segment retinoblastoma.

Purpose: To evaluate anterior segment retinoblastoma with high-frequency ultrasound.

Design: Interventional case report.

Methods: An 11-year-old boy with a total retinal detachment and multiple white anterior chamber nodules was examined with high-frequency ultrasound before enucleation of the globe.

Retinal artery embolization: a rare presentation of calcific aortic stenosis.

Retinal artery embolization is an unusual but serious complication of calcific aortic stenosis. However, it is rare for retinal embolization to be the presenting feature of aortic stenosis. This report describes a young patient who presented with an acute retinal artery occlusion secondary to calcific aortic valve disease, and discusses the rationale for early surgical intervention.

Origin of the foveal granular pattern in entoptic viewing.

Purpose: To investigate the controversial origin of the foveal granular pattern at the center of the entoptic Purkinje vessel shadows. Both phenomena may be vividly elicited by oscillating a focused spot of light across the scleral surface of the eye in a circumferential direction.

Methods: The site and pattern of oscillation of the light spot were varied and were correlated with the appearance of the foveal granular pattern.

Deteriorated accommodative esotropia.

Deteriorated accommodative esotropia is a residual esotropia with treatment in previously controlled esotropia. Hypothesized etiologies include occlusion, undercorrected hyperopia, increased AC/A ratio, increased or undetected hyperopia, microtropia, delay in treatment and poor compliance.
