We report two patients who presented with Brown's syndrome. The first is a 7-year-old boy who at the time of his diagnosis was also found to have enthesitis and HLA-B27 positivity. The second patient was diagnosed with bilateral Brown's syndrome at 13 months of age. At age 7 she developed a persistent oligoarticular arthritis and unilateral anterior iritis consistent with the oligoarticular Juvenile Idiopatic Arthritis (JIA) phenotype. These cases highlight ophthalmologic findings and diagnostic considerations with respect to Brown's syndrome and associated childhood onset rheumatologic disease.

Spectrum of Manifest Strabismus in A Tertiary Eye Care Hospital in Calabar, Nigeria: Demographics, Types and Co-morbidities.
West Afr J Med
September 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Calabar, Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria.
Background: Strabismus is a potential cause of ocular morbidity.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, types of manifest strabismus and co-morbidities among patients attending a referral paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus clinic in Calabar, Nigeria.
Methods: A retrospective review of case-notes of patients attending the paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus clinic from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 was done.
The vestibular and oculomotor dysfunction in Fabry disease: a cohort study in China.
Ann Med
December 2025
Department of Neurology, Peking University First Hospital, China.
Objective: Whereas a few studies have evaluated vestibular involvement in Fabry disease (FD), the relationship between vestibular/oculomotor abnormalities and disease-specific biomarkers remain unclear. Therefore, we seek to evaluate these quantitatively and analyze their relationship with disease phenotype and biomarkers in FD.
Methods: This cohort study enrolled 37 Chinese FD patients registered in our center.
Chromosome 4 Duplication Associated with Strabismus Leads to Gene Expression Changes in iPSC-Derived Cortical Neurons.
Genes (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
Background/objectives: Strabismus is the most common ocular disorder of childhood. Three rare, recurrent genetic duplications have been associated with both esotropia and exotropia, but the mechanisms by which they contribute to strabismus are unknown. This work aims to investigate the mechanisms of the smallest of the three, a 23 kb duplication on chromosome 4 (hg38|4:25,554,985-25,578,843).

EClinicalMedicine
February 2025
Division of Respiratory Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, University of California San Diego, Rady Children's Hospital of San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Children from racial and ethnic minority groups are at greater risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, but it is unclear whether they have increased risk for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Our objectives were to assess whether the risk of respiratory and neurologic PASC differs by race/ethnicity and social drivers of health.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of individuals <21 years seeking care at 24 health systems across the U.
Clinical spectrum of positional downbeat nystagmus: a diagnostic approach.
J Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, University of Chicago, 5841 South Maryland Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60637, USA.
Positional downbeat nystagmus (pDBN) is a common finding in dizzy patients, with etiologies ranging from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) to central vestibular lesions. Although peripheral pDBN often presents with distinct clinical features that differentiate it from BPPV, diagnosing its etiology can be challenging. A thorough clinical evaluation, including the physical characteristics of the nystagmus, response to positional maneuvers, and neurological findings, is often sufficient to diagnose conditions that provoke pDBN such as anterior canal BPPV, atypical posterior canal BPPV, and central causes.
