Chitayat syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome characterised by bilateral hyperphalangism, bronchomalacia, hallux valgus, and other facial dysmorphism including large anterior fontanelle, hypertelorism, and anteverted nostrils. Since the initial discovery, only few cases of Chitayat syndrome have been reported in the literature. Previous literatures showed the genetic link between 5 case reports, showing that a unique link of recurrent c.

Methods: The choroidal volume was measured by optical coherence tomography in patients who underwent BOF repair, preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 4, 12 and 24 weeks. The orbital volume ratio (OVR) was obtained by dividing the orbital volume of the traumatized orbit by that of the contralateral side using three-dimensional computed tomography imaging.
A 41-year-old male was referred from the neurosurgery department with visual disturbance immediately following coil embolization of a distal internal carotid artery aneurysm. On initial fundus examination, diffuse retinal opacification sparing the papillomacular bundle area was observed in his right eye. Optical coherence tomography showed inner retinal edema, and fluorescein angiography showed delayed arterial filling and multiple small arteriolar obstructions in that eye.

Methods: A total of 172 eyes (147 patients) were prospectively enrolled. Patients rated their pain from 0 to 10 using a visual analogue scale.
