PURPOSE Alagille syndrome is frequently associated with optic disc anomalies. This is the first report of a patient with Alagille syndrome and myelinated retinal nerve fibers. METHODS A 5-year-old female patient was referred to the Centre for Ophthalmology before a liver transplantation. Ocular examinations including slit lamp examination and funduscopy as well as anterior segment and fundus ...

PURPOSE To report a case of choroidal effusion probably caused by angiotensin receptor II blocker. CASE REPORT A 52-year-old man with aplastic anemia and high blood pressure who developed unilateral acute angle closure glaucoma after receiving oral cyclosporine and angiotensin II receptor blocker (losartan). Ophthalmic examination revealed visual acuity of 20/30 in the left eye, mild mydriasi...

The proficiency of nonophthalmologists with direct ophthalmoscopy is poor, which has prompted a search for alternative technologies to examine the ocular fundus. Although ocular fundus photography has existed for decades, its use has been traditionally restricted to ophthalmology clinical care settings and textbooks. Recent research has shown a role for nonmydriatic fundus photography in nonoph...

Pseudotumor cerebri (PC) is a syndrome characterized by the presence of intracranial hypertension (ICH) and no alteration in the ventricular system. Renal transplanted patients seem more susceptible to develop it due to immunosuppressive therapy. Cyclosporin (CsA) is a rare cause of PC, scarcely reported in the literature, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ICH and papill...

Cataract surgery is the most frequent surgical intervention, with approximately 700,000 operations per year in Germany alone. One of the most serious complications is retinal detachment, with a reported incidence rate of pseudophakic retinal detachment of 0.75-1.65%. We report the case of a patient who suffered from a simultaneous bilateral pseudophakic retinal detachment. Interestingly, the bi...

We report two cases of surgical removal of a retained subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) bubble through a therapeutic macular hole combined with intravitreal PFCL injection and gas tamponade. Two patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy with PFCL injection for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. In both cases, a retained subfoveal PFCL bubble was noticed postoperatively by funduscopy and op...

A 5‐year‐old boy presented to our clinic for a routine check‐up. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 and 20/60 in the right and left eyes, respectively. Cycloplegic refraction revealed +0.50 −0.50 × 179° in the right eye and −6.50 −0.75 × 171° in the left eye. The left eye had an exotropia of 14 prism diopters. Anterior segment examination was normal in both eyes. On dilated funduscopy, the ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The exact pathogenesis of glaucoma in exfoliation syndrome is unclear. There has been some suggestion that narrow angles are more common in exfoliation syndrome and that this may be a component in the disease. The degree of pigmentation has also been shown to influence the intraocular pressure. The aim was to determine whether gonioscopic features of the anterior chamber angle i...

A previously well 33-year-old man with no history of trauma or substance abuse presented with poor right eye visual acuity, somnolence, and vomiting several hours after sudden onset of severe, persistent headache. Examination revealed only a right relative afferent papillary defect and subretinal blood on funduscopy (Terson syndrome, figure 1A). Hunt and Hess grade was 3. CT showed right subdur...

Closed-globe traumatic cataract is not uncommon in males in the pediatric age group. However, there is a relative paucity of literature on isolated posterior lens capsule rupture associated with closed-globe traumatic cataract. We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with white cataract 1 day after blunt trauma to the forehead associated with posterior capsular rupture that was detec...
