Abstract Background Children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) form a major chunk of the population difficulty. Since auditory system is close to vestibular and shares common fluid, abnormality in might impair functioning system. Main body abstract The present systematic review aimed at studying application cervical ocular evoked myogenic potential responses (cVEMP oVEMP) during assessment...

purpose: controversy has recently risen about the presence of compensatory ocular countertorsion (coct) after head tilt. this study was performed to define the functional range of this phenomenon. methods: cycloplegic autorefraction was performed on 80 eyes with regular astigmatism 2d. objective autorefraction was performed in normal position, right and left head tilt positions of 5º, 10º, 15º,...

OBJECTIVE To document the findings of a newborn eye examination programme for detecting ocular pathology in the healthy full-term newborn. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of the majority of newborns born in the Kunming Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital, China, between May 2010 and June 2011. Infants underwent ocular examination within 42 days after birth using a flashlight, retin...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to explore the ocular surface of late stage eye burns by impression cytology (IC) and analyze the cytological changes and their relationship to ocular surface abnormalities. PATIENTS AND METHODS 68 eyes with late stage eye burns (thermal burn: 28 eyes; alkali burn: 26 eyes; acid burn: 14 eyes), procured from 68 patients (aged ranges from 17 to 70 years old). Ocular s...

morning glory syndrome (mgs) is a rare congenital optic disc anomaly characterized by a funnel-shaped, excavated optic disc surrounded by chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance. the main ophthalomoscopic feature of the mgs is enlarged optic disc with a funnel shaped scleral defect; elevated peripapillary chorioretinal pigmentation; and pale fluffy tissue of glial hyperplasia overlying the optic d...

Joubert syndrome (JS) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by hypotonia, cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, ocular abnormalities (e.g, pigmentary retinopathy, oculomotor apraxia and nystagmus), renal cysts and hepatic fibrosis. Respiratory abnormalities, as apnea and hyperpnea, may be present, as well as mental retardation. At least seven JS loci have been determined and five g...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a valuable noninvasive imaging tool that may be used to help evaluate the structural integrity of retina and pharmacological or toxicological drug effects at multiple time points in preclinical studies. Although ocular histopathology still considered gold standard for assessment retinal morphology, OCT provides enhanced vivo monitoring structures guide tiss...

CASE REPORT A case is presented of an acute onset lens particle glaucoma originating from a crystalline lens spontaneously dislocated into the vitreous for more than 20 years in a patient diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. DISCUSSION Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance caused by fibrillin gene mutation. Ectopia lentis is the predominant ocular abno...

A syndrome characterized by prenatal-onset growth failure, muscular hypotonia, hepatomegaly, enlarged cerebral ventricles and cisternas, and distinctive changes in ocular fundi was first described1 in 1970. The condition was named mulibrey nanism to point out the organs most clearly involved : muscle, liver, brain, and eyes. With further cases being observed it became evident that more or less ...

Recommended definition of MGD: Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic, diffuse abnormality of the meibomian glands, commonly characterized by terminal duct obstruction and/or qualitative/quantitative changes in the glandular secretion. This may result in alteration of the tear film, symptoms of eye irritation, clinically apparent inflammation, and ocular surface disease. Previous defini...
