Objective: To evaluate optic nerve head (ONH) morphology in children with craniosynostosis versus healthy controls.

Design: Single-center, prospective cohort study.

Methods: Handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed in 110 eyes of 58 children (aged 0-13 years) with craniosynostosis.

Aims: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of fundoscopy and visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in detecting intracranial hypertension (IH) in patients with craniosynostosis undergoing spring-assisted posterior vault expansion (sPVE).

Methods: Children with craniosynostosis undergoing sPVE and 48-hour intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring were included in this single-centre, retrospective, diagnostic accuracy study. Data for ICP, fundoscopy and VEPs were analysed.

Purpose: To determine whether handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) is feasible and repeatable in children with craniosynostosis.

Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study. Children with syndromic and non-syndromic craniosynostosis 0 to 18 years of age were recruited between February 13, 2020, and October 1, 2020.

Objective: To determine visual outcomes and prevalence of amblyogenic risk factors in children with Apert, Crouzon, Pfeiffer and Saethre-Chotzen syndromes.

Methods: We conducted a single-centre, retrospective chart review of patients assessed at our unit between October 2000 and May 2017. Our outcome measures were as follows: age at first and last examination, refraction, horizontal ocular alignment, alphabet pattern deviations, anterior segment appearance, fundus examination findings, visual evoked potentials (VEPs) and genetics.

Trans-synaptic retrograde degeneration (TRD) in the human visual system has been established. However there are few studies demonstrating macular thinning of the Retinal Ganglion cell Layer and/or Inner Plexiform layer (RGCL-IPL), corresponding to an acquired homonymous hemianopia. We report a 17 year old with a homonymous hemianopia, secondary to a hemispherectomy for intractable epilepsy.
