The Poland-Möbius syndrome is the combination of two rare congenital disorders and has been reported previously in only 13 patients. We report two additional cases with an evaluation of the findings and possible pathogenesis, and discuss the role of computerized tomography in evaluating the brain, pons, orbits, and facial nerve.
Ocular trauma is a much more common cause of visual loss than is generally recognized. The authors present guidelines for the examination of eye injuries and follow with a discussion of the more common and more serious traumatic injuries.

A study was conducted using a group of congenital esotropes who had an adequate surgical alignment prior to 18 months of age, to determine how many of them would redevelop esotropia. In the group that redeveloped the condition, a high percentage of the esotropia was accommodative in nature and was therefore able to be corrected with spectacles. Both the initial refractive error and changes in refractive error were noted to be significant. This study emphasizes the importance of monitoring the refractive state continuously, especially in children with subnormal fusion.
