Isolated corneal pseudodendrites as the initial manifestation of tyrosinemia type II in monozygotic twins.

Fifteen-month-old twins presented with photophobia and bilateral corneal pseudodendrites, and tyrosinemia type II was suspected. Plasma tyrosine levels were elevated. After therapy with tyrosine-restricted diet, corneal lesions resolved.

Childhood orbitotemporal neurofibromatosis masked by congenital glaucoma and buphthalmos.

In newborns with unilateral buphthalmos and presumed congenital glaucoma, the differential diagnosis should include the rare condition of orbitotemporal neurofibromatosis. The authors present the diagnostic challenge of an unusual case of neurofibromatosis type 1 with unilateral congenital glaucoma, buphthalmos, and sphenoid-orbital dysplasia. The accompanying type of osseous orbital dysplasia has rarely been described in the literature, complicating the diagnostic and management process.

Kaposi's Sarcoma of the Bulbar Conjunctiva in an Immunocompetent Patient.

Kaposi's sarcoma is an uncommon endothelial malignant tumor, first described by Moricz Kaposi in 1872. It is commonly encountered in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), immunosuppression or organ transplantation. Conjunctival Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare tumor, mostly in patients with AIDS.

Unilateral optic disc edema in a paediatric patient: diagnostic dilemmas and management.

Cryopreserved amniotic membrane transplantation for the management of symptomatic bullous keratopathy.

Background: To report the results of cryopreserved human amniotic membrane transplantation for the management of symptomatic bullous keratopathy.

Methods: Prospective non-comparative interventional case series study. Consecutive cases with symptomatic bullous keratopathy for more than 12 months not amenable to conservative treatment were managed with amniotic membrane transplantation.
