Article Synopsis
- Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disorder affecting breathing control and the autonomic nervous system, often linked with various eye issues.
- A unique case of a boy with CCHS diagnosed at birth also presented with monocular elevation deficit (MED), where he had difficulty moving his left eye upward, alongside mild ptosis.
- This case highlights the need for further research to explore any potential connection between MED and CCHS amid existing knowledge of other common ophthalmologic abnormalities associated with the syndrome.
This article presents three cases of Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) occurring during 'ab externo' phacocanaloplasty procedures in three patients with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and discusses the management of this condition by reviewing the available literature. Following a successful 360° cannulation of Schlemm's canal (SC), the microcatheter was withdrawn while an ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) was injected into the canal. During passage through the inferonasal quadrant, a spontaneous separation of the posterior layer of the cornea was observed.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed in healthy children between 3 and 14 years of age. Each child underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination that included 3 OCT scans with Spectralis (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany).
PURPOSE: To report a case of bacterial keratitis in a patient with a history of intrastromal corneal ring segments (INTACS®) implantation to correct keratoconus. METHODS: The patient's history, clinical presentation, pathological analysis and therapeutic management were reviewed. RESULTS: A 36-year-old-man was referred to our department due to decreased vision and intense pain in his left eye, 40 days after INTACS® implantation for keratoconus.
