Lesions of the optic tract produce a distinctive pattern of optic atrophy and visual field loss and may be due to either congenital or acquired causes. We report a case of a congenital optic tract syndrome and correlate the magnetic resonance imaging findings with the appearance of nerve fiber layer defects found by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.

: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, extraintestinal manifestations may occur in the liver, musculoskeletal system and eyes. Its etiology remains unknown, and further research is required in order to develop pharmacological drugs which achieve complete remission of the pathology.

Background: Direct laryngoscopy and biopsy have been the standard of care for biopsy of lesions arising from the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). The requirement of general anesthesia is often a prerequisite. Procedures performed under the laryngeal block and local anesthesia are not viewed as appropriate from the point of view of patient comfort.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the visibility of the fetal optic chiasm and optic tracts through ultrasound and establish reference values for mid-trimester fetuses.
- It included 154 normal fetuses at 19-23 weeks of gestation, measuring various dimensions using a specific ultrasound technique, successfully visualizing OC and OTs in 70.8% of cases.
- Results showed that the dimensions of OC and OTs were positively correlated with measurements of the cavum septum pellucidum, as well as other growth indicators like biparietal diameter and head circumference.

Alterations in brain structure are frequently observed in adults with early-treated phenylketonuria (PKU) compared to healthy controls, with cerebral white matter (WM) being particularly affected. The extent to which temporary elevation of phenylalanine (Phe) levels impacts WM remains unclear. We conducted a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled crossover trial to investigate the effects of a 4-week high Phe exposure on cerebral WM and its relationship to cognitive performance and metabolic parameters in adults with PKU.
