This case report presents three adult patients with monocular infantile visual deprivation who developed substantial AL interocular differences. The aim is to explore the impact of early visual deprivation on AL and its potential implications for myopia progression.

We report two cases of end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy as the initial manifestation of Alström syndrome (ALMS), in infants aged two and five months. This rare monogenic, autosomal, and recessive genetic condition is a multisystem disorder characterized by visual and hearing impairment, cardiomyopathy childhood obesity, and other anomalies. These cases highlight the importance of genetic testing targeting the ALMS1 gene in the assessment of apparently isolated dilated cardiomyopathy.

Wolcott-Rallison Syndrome is an extremely rare syndrome characterized by infantile non-autoimmune diabetes, extensive skeletal dysplasia, and multi-organ failure requiring transplant.

We report a complex case of Wolcott-Rallison Syndrome that presented with cervical myelopathy due to cervicomedullary compression and the exceptional surgical considerations required for successful intervention.
