Visual outcomes of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a neuro-ophthalmology clinic in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder with elevated intracranial pressure more than 250 mm H2O, without evidence of meningeal inflammation, space-occupying lesion, or venous thrombosis. In this study, we aim to study the clinical profile, evaluation, management, and visual outcome in a hospital-based population of IIH cases in Jeddah.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational cohort study that included the medical records of all patients referred to neuro-ophthalmology service for evaluation of papilledema.

Joubert Syndrome Presenting With Oculomotor Apraxia and Motor Developmental Delay: A Case Report From a Neuro-Ophthalmology Clinic in Saudi Arabia.

Joubert syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that was first described in 1969. It can present with neonatal respiratory distress, ocular motility abnormalities, developmental delays, and other congenital cerebellar malformations. It is also connected to autism, hydrocephalus, and duodenal atresia.

Sequential, non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in patients taking sildenafil: a report of ten cases.

Aim/purpose: To present a summary of 10 cases of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in patients who received phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors.

Methods: A case series of 10 patients who, after regular intake of Sildenafil, presented with a first episode of NAION in one eye. NAION was diagnosed based on the following criteria: acute, painless, unilateral loss of vision, fundus features consistent with NAION and exclusion of other possible causes.

Band atrophy of the optic nerve: A report on different anatomical locations in three patients.

Lesions of the optic tract are accompanied by various signs that help to distinguish them from hemianopias located posterior to the lateral geniculate body. Band optic nerve atrophy is one of these signs and typically occurs contralateral to the optic tract lesion. We report on three patients with band atrophy in the fundus of the eye.
