Purpose: To investigate cases exhibiting overlapping features of persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) and combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE) and to explore potential associations between these developmental ocular anomalies.
Methods: This retrospective, descriptive case series included 9 eyes of 8 patients aged 0-7 years with shared clinical features of PFV and CHRRPE. Diagnoses were established through clinical examination and intraoperative findings.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of combined intrastromal voriconazole and intrastromal amphotericin B for the treatment of persistent fungal keratitis.
Method: Patients who received combined corneal intrastromal voriconazole (0.05 mg/0.
Congenital toxoplasmosis and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) are two devastating clinical entities of the newborn. There is little information in the literature about the interaction between congenital infections and retinal vascular development at the fetal stage, and none regarding the relationship between ROP and congenital toxoplasmosis. In this report, we present two premature newborns diagnosed with congenital toxoplasmosis with ocular involvement, accompanied by ROP with interrupted retinal vascularization, peripheral avascular regions, and retinal detachment.

Purpose: To report a case of primary congenital glaucoma associated with paracentral acute middle maculopathy.
Methods: A case report.
Results: A 14-year-old girl with undiagnosed primary congenital glaucoma was referred for the evaluation of sudden vision loss a week after the initial symptoms.
Introduction: The goal of this study was to evaluate the utility of orbital ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
Method: We reviewed the medical records of patients referred to our department for suspected IIH.
Results: Seven children were diagnosed with IIH.
Horner syndrome, consisting of ipsilateral miosis, upper eye lid ptosis, and facial anhidrosis, has been reported as a rare complication of internal jugular vein catheterization. In this paper, we describe a nine-year-old girl presenting with postganglionic Horner syndrome, in whom right-sided ptosis and miosis occurred after ipsilateral percutaneous internal jugular venous catheterization.
