Angioid streaks in beta thalassaemia minor.

We report what we believe to be the first recorded case of angioid streaks in a patient with beta thalassaemia minor. The occurrence of angioid streaks in a patient with a relatively normal iron balance and only very mild haemolysis may be explained by the combination of pregnancy with associated multiple transfusions in a myopic patient where an inherent defect in Bruch's membrane may exist.

Visual impairment in a case of juvenile Paget's disease with pseudoxanthoma elasticum: an eleven year follow up.

An 11-year follow-up of a child presenting with Paget's disease of bone, and who subsequently developed pseudoxanthoma elasticum, is described. The influence of therapy on the ocular manifestations was disappointing. Calcitonin did not prevent the occurrence or progression of angioid streaks, and Argon laser photocoagulation of complicating subretinal neovascular membranes failed to prevent visual loss.
