Purpose: Adams-Oliver syndrome is a rare, inherited disorder of embryologic development that affects multiple systems. Ocular manifestations have been poorly characterized because of the low prevalence and high mortality of the disease when it is associated with internal organ and/or ophthalmic manifestations. We present a case of Adams-Oliver syndrome in a 13-year-old patient whose multimodal retinal imaging findings helped direct management.
Methods: Single patient case report reviewing medical records and imaging.
Results: Visual acuity upon presentation was 20/40 in each eye. Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography revealed peripheral nonperfusion with terminal vascular bulbs, and leakage from a temporal fibrovascular complex in the left eye. Fundus autofluorescence imaging showed hyperautofluorescence associated with optic disc drusen and the fibrovascular complex. Treatment with targeted laser photocoagulation was associated with regression of the neovascularization.
Conclusion: Retinal manifestations of Adams-Oliver syndrome as observed with ultra-widefield fundus imaging may resemble those of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. Treatment of avascular retina with panretinal photocoagulation can be considered.

Article Synopsis
- Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are common congenital heart diseases, making up about 40% of cardiac malformations and can occur alone or with other defects.
- The genetic causes of VSD are complex, involving chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations, including known syndromes like DiGeorge and Holt-Oram.
- Recent advancements like comparative genomic hybridization have revealed numerous copy number variations linked to VSD, highlighting the genetic diversity in affected patients.

Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by aplasia cutis congenita, cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, and terminal limb defects. Ocular associations have been rarely reported. We report a 6-month-old boy with AOS associated with refractory glaucoma, megalocornea, and anterior polar cataract.

Article Synopsis
- Adams-Oliver syndrome is a rare genetic condition marked by scalp defects and limb abnormalities, linked to mutations in specific genes.
- A recent study identified a new genetic variant that likely causes limb anomalies, predicting that it leads to a dysfunctional protein due to a significant change in its structure.
- The research highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches combining experimental and bioinformatics analyses to deepen the understanding of genetic disorders like Adams-Oliver syndrome and their varying impacts on patients.

Pathogenic variants in NOTCH1 are associated with non-syndromic congenital heart disease (CHD) and Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS). The clinical presentation of individuals with damaging NOTCH1 variants is characterized by variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance; however, data on systematic phenotypic characterization are limited. We report the genotype and phenotype of a cohort of 33 individuals (20 females, 13 males; median age 23.
