Purpose: Evaluation of long-term functional and structural outcomes in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) based on visual acuity (VA), visual field (VF) using standard automated perimetry, and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (pRNFL).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of all patients diagnosed with PCG in Denmark from 1977 to 2016. Severe vision loss was defined as VA <6/60 and/or VF >20 decibels (dB).
Purpose: To evaluate the surgical success after trabeculotomy for primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) in Denmark in the last 40 years.
Methods: Retrospective review of medical files on children who all underwent trabeculotomy as the first surgical intervention between January 1rst, 1977 and December 31, 2016. Information on diagnosis and surgical procedures were extracted.
Purpose: To perform an epidemiological survey of all patients in Denmark diagnosed with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) from 1977 to 2016.
Methods: A retrospective, nationwide study based on a review of medical files of all children with PCG born in Denmark from 1977 to 2016. PCG was defined as glaucoma due to isolated angle dysgenesis affecting children from birth and including late onset/late recognized PCG, excluding glaucoma associated with other congenital abnormalities.
Internal carotid artery dissection is an uncommon entity and the result of a spontaneous or traumatic tear in the vessel lining. We present two almost identical cases of Horner syndrome caused by spontaneous, non-traumatic internal carotid artery dissection within 4 months in two 52-year-old homozygotic twin brothers.

The study included 14 patients (mean age 63 years, range 48-74 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus and minimal or no diabetic retinopathy. Retinal vessel diameters were assessed using infrared photography before and after dark adaptation, first while fasting and then at peak hyperglycemia during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

Methods: The study included 13 healthy volunteers aged 20-37 years. Core body temperature elevation (target +1.
This study examined electroretinographic function in healthy subjects before and after prednisolone intake. To separate the effect of prednisolone on the retina from the potentially confounding hyperglycemia-inducing effect of prednisolone, electroretinography was made while fasting and at a pre-specified level of clamped hyperglycemia. The study included 10 eyes in 10 healthy lean men aged 25 ± 3 years (mean ± SD).
