CLINICAL CASE This was a 15-month-old boy who had macular retinochoroidal lesions in both eyes following maternal varicella during pregnancy. DISCUSSION The scars were suggestive of congenital chorioretinal infection, but because of negative serology and the clinical picture, we believe the problems are atypical macular colobomata.

(Figure 2). The mean±SD thickness of the retina at the site of the cleavages was 106.4±17.7 m and that of the adjacent unaffected retina was 254.2±25.8 m. The mean thickness of the retina at the site of the cleavages was significantly thinner than that of the adjacent unaffected retina (P .001, Mann-Whitney U test). The fluorescein angiograms showed no abnormalities. The results of standard aut...

Journal (Sorsby, 1939). The fundi in two brothers whose eye trouble dated back to the early twenties showed a sharplycircumscribed central area in which the choroidal vessels were sclerosed. It is suggested that these cases of choroidal sclerosis are allied to macular coloboma-coloboma on the one hand and " senile " macular degeneration due to choroidal sclerosis on the other, representing the ...

We report a rare case of retinal detachment in colobomatous macrophthalmos with microcornea syndrome. A 25-year-old female who had suffered from poor vision in her left eye since early childhood and high myopia in her right eye (-11 D) visited our clinic because of a sudden deterioration of vision. Examination of the anterior segment showed microcornea with coloboma of the inferior pupil margin...
