Article Synopsis
- The case discusses a one-month-old female with Goldenhar syndrome, presenting significant eye issues including coloboma and a corneal ulcer, alongside agenesis of the lacrimal system.
- Surgery was performed to correct her eyelid issues and remove a dermoid tumor, with successful healing of the corneal ulcer.
- The report highlights the rarity of lacrimal system agenesis in Goldenhar syndrome, suggesting this as a notable and unique feature of the condition.
Epilepsy is a complex neurological condition characterized by repeated spontaneous seizures and can be induced by initiating seizures known as status epilepticus (SE). Elaborating the critical molecular mechanisms following SE are central to understanding the establishment of chronic seizures. Here, we identify a transient program of molecular and metabolic signaling in the early epileptogenic period, centered on day five following SE in the pre-clinical kainate or pilocarpine models of temporal lobe epilepsy.

Design: Retrospective, longitudinal case series conducted at the New England Eye Center.
Participants: Patients with either treatment-naïve or previously treated CNV secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
