- Wilson's disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects copper metabolism and can cause specific eye problems, including Kayser-Fleischer rings and cataracts.
- A 10-year-old girl diagnosed with Wilson's disease also showed signs of nevus of Ota, which is hyperpigmentation around the eye.
- This case is notable as it is the first documented instance of nevus of Ota occurring in a child with Wilson's disease, and the patient currently has good vision and no symptoms.
To find whether the CHADS-VASc score, a system for stratifying stroke risk among patients with atrial fibrillation, correlates with visual acuity prognosis following retinal vein occlusion (RVO). This retrospective study included 83 eyes of 83 patients with a diagnosis of branch or central RVO between June 2017 and August 2022 with at least 12 months of follow-up in Assuta Ashdod Medical Center, Ashdod, Israel. The patients were divided into three groups, with CHADS-VASc scores of 0-2 ( = 31), 3-5 ( = 45), or 6-9 ( = 7).
