Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) has been reported as the cause of a kind of endogenous uveitis (HTLV-I associated uveitis; HAU). We observed a case of episcleritis in a HTLV-I carrier with pigmentary retinal degeneration. HTLV-I infection might be associated with the development of episcleritis and pigmentary retinal degeneration. Patients with episcleritis or pigmentary retinal...

Purpose To report a case with Edward's syndrome and ocular manifestations. Methods A three-year-old female visited our clinic. The diagnosis of Edward's Syndrome was made prior to the ophthalmic visit based on a karyotype study report. Complete ophthalmic evaluations were done for the patient. Results On the initial ophthalmic examination, bilateral ptosis, epicanthal folds, and 40 prism di...

The pigment dispersion syndrome is a relatively uncommon condition, occurring as a result of pigment loss from the posterior-pigmented epithelium of the iris, with subsequent redeposition of the pigment throughout the anterior chamber. Obstruction of the trabecular meshwork occasionally leads to pigmentary glaucoma, with increased intraocular pressure, optic nerve head changes, and visual field...

tological findings are different from our results. We had no evidence for other inflammatory skin diseases following Blaschko’s lines such as linear discoid lupus erythematosus or lichen striatus. Linear pigmentary disorders such as pigmentary mosaicism (naevoid hypermelanosis) or the pigmentary stage of incontinentia pigmenti were also excluded. The aetio-pathogeny of LAM remains unknown, but ...

Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS) is a multisystem sporadic genetic condition characterized by facial anomalies, variable developmental delay and intellectual impairment, hypotonia, hearing loss, seizures, pigmentary skin differences, temporal alopecia, diaphragmatic hernia, congenital heart defects, and other systemic abnormalities. PKS is typically caused by the presence of a supernumerary iso...
