In this randomized controlled trial, we assessed the effects of three consecutive intra-silicone oil (SO) injections of methotrexate (MTX) on the outcomes of surgery for proliferative vitreoretinopathy grade C (PVR-C). Seventy-four eyes of 74 patients with PVR-C were included. Of these, 37 eyes were assigned to the MTX group and 37 eyes to the control group.

- Leukodystrophies are serious inherited neurological disorders with high mortality rates and limited treatment options, highlighting a gap in data on mortality causes.
- A study on 165 Iranian pediatric patients found that 38.8% had died, with a mean age at death of 5.2 years and a mortality rate increasing over time.
- The main causes of death were identified as cardiopulmonary issues (47%), seizures (11%), and sepsis (9%), indicating the need for targeted interventions to address these specific causes in future care.
Background And Aims: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary retinal disorder that gradually leads to vision loss due to photoreceptor cell degeneration. This study aims to investigate the clinical features and genetic underpinnings of RP within a large Iranian family. Our focus centered on mutations in the NR2E3 gene, which plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of the retina.
