Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of eyelid cutaneous horns in five pediatric patients, with a focus on information from patient records and literature review.
  • - Results showed that all lesions resolved either surgically or conservatively, with the average patient age being 6.6 years, and no signs of malignancy were found during histologic evaluations.
  • - The findings suggest that pediatric eyelid cutaneous horns are linked to inflammatory conditions like hordeolum or chalazion and are generally benign, differing from adult cases that often involve neoplastic changes.

Article Synopsis
  • This case report discusses a pre-term infant diagnosed with severe bilateral retinal disease, highlighting the challenges in managing aggressive retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
  • The infant underwent various assessments, including genetic testing that revealed a novel mutation in the LRP5 gene, which is linked to retinal issues.
  • The findings emphasize the need for careful evaluation of preterm infants with retinal problems, as genetic profiles can alter the understanding and treatment of these conditions, particularly distinguishing between ROP and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).

Purpose: To assess corneal tomographic, topographic, and refractive changes in children with high astigmatism and their ability to exclude keratoconus.

Methods: In this longitudinal observational study, the medical records of children with high regular cylindrical refraction of ≥3.50 D referred to the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, to exclude keratoconus between January 2009 and June 2020 were reviewed retrospectively.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of 16 intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in pediatric cataract eyes.

Patients And Methods: The data records of pediatric patients who had been implanted with three IOL models (SA60AT, MA60AC, and enVista-MX60) between 2012 and 2018 were analyzed. The accuracy of 16 IOL power calculation methods was evaluated: Barrett Universal II (BUII), Castrop, EVO 2.
