Anatomo-Clinical Aspects of Retinoblastoma: A Series of 144 Cases.

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular primary malignancy for infants and young children. The tumor is bilateral in 40% of cases and unilateral in 60% of cases. The hereditary form is due to a germinal mutation in the RB1 tumor suppressor gene.

Bilateral cataract in a child with blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome: A surgical challenge.

Introduction: Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by complex orbito-palpebral anomalies. We report a rare case of BPES associated with bilateral congenital cataract.

Observation: This study reports the case of a 6-month-old infant with BPES in whom a bilateral congenital cataract was diagnosed, after the parents noticed leukocoria and signs of poor vision in their child.

Spontaneous corneal perforation complicating ocular rosacea: Case report.

Introduction: Ocular rosacea is a multifactorial disease. Its pathophysiology remains unclear. The ocular manifestations of rosacea are not specific and can range from simple blepharoconjunctivitis to sight-threatening such as corneal perforation.

Meta-analysis of gene mutations in primary congenital glaucoma patients.

Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is a rare and severe form of glaucoma and is usually transmitted as an autosomal-recessive disease. However, PCG is more common in certain ethnic and geographic groups where consanguineous relationships are common. The importance of this review is to inspect the mutations in the cytochrome P450 1B1 gene (CYP1B1) and to highlight the interest of the genetic study of CYP1B1 mutations.

[Eyelid molluscum contagiosum: a case report].

Molluscums contagiosum (MC) are benign skin lesions caused by Molluscipoxvirus, primarily affecting children and young adults. They manly involve the skin and rarely the mucous membranes. Clinical diagnosis is easy, confirmed by histological examination of the lesion.
