A patient with end-stage renal failure secondary to polycystic kidney disease was seen in the Eye Clinic for a corneal abrasion. Incidental fundal examination revealed bilateral multiple, small, raised, pale yellow sub-retinal nodules. Past medical history of inadequately treated pulmonary tuberculosis was obtained. Following initiation of anti-tuberculous therapy, the choroidal lesions resolved.

A patient with scleroderma (progressive systemic sclerosis) who developed central retinal vein occlusion is described. The aetiology of this condition is discussed and the role of possible sclerodermatous vascular disease is highlighted. It is suggested that studies of fundal vasculature could be useful in the clinical assessment of sclerodermatous vascular disease.

A rare case of non-puerperal uterine inversion caused by a large fundal leiomyoma in a 36-year-virgo intacta resulting in intractable haemorrhage was reported. After a myomectomy, attempts to reduce the inversion vaginally by transecting the anterior and posterior cervix was unsuccessful and a laparotomy was performed. The inversion was successfully corrected with return of normal function of t...

Case Report A 24-year-old primigravida was first seen for obstetric care at 13 weeks' gestation. Initially the pregnancy progressed without apparent difficulty, but the fundal height was found to be somewhat small for dates at 38 weeks' gestation. A sonogram obtained at that time showed a 33-week-sized fetus, with all measurements being concordant and no sonographic evidence of intrauterine gro...

BACKGROUND Fused lower limbs combined with severe urogenital malformation, also known as sirenomelia, is a rare congenital clinical syndrome. The etiology is unknown, and the outcome for the affected fetus is rather uncertain. CASE REPORT Mrs RB, a Kuwaiti woman primigravida, married to a non-consanguineous husband, had uneventful antenatal care in a private health service, until she was admi...

THE existence of an electrical potential in the vertebrate eye, with the cornea positive to the fundus, was demonstrated over a century ago (Du Bois-Reymond, 1849). This potential, the standing or corneo-fundal potential, is often described as a steady potential to distinguish it from the rapidly oscillating potential of the electroretinogram. It is not, however, a truly steady potential, but i...

We show that the proper motion of the Becklin-Neugebauer (BN) object is consistent with its dynamical ejection from the θ Ori C binary, contrary to recent claims by Gómez et al. Continued radio observations of BN and future precise astrometric observations of θ Ori C with SIM and the Orion Nebula Cluster with GAIA can constrain the properties of this ejection event, with implications for theori...
