Posterior Embryotoxon Revisited: An Immunohistologic Study.

Purpose: This series describes the immunopathologic features of posterior embryotoxon (PE) and demonstrates that it is not an anterior displaced Schwalbe's line as commonly described, but a peripheral corneal stromal nub variable in location with abnormal extracellular matrix.

Design: Case series.

Participants: Archived specimens from patients with PE.

An Inflammatory Reaction to Stored Fascia Lata 37 Years Postimplantation.

We report a rare case of a suspected inflammatory reaction to stored fascia lata 37 years post-placement. Clinical, imaging, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings are presented, with a literature review on reactions to stored fascia lata. A 39-year-old woman had upper eyelid congenital ptosis repaired successfully at 2 years with bilateral frontalis suspension procedures using stored fascia lata.
