Autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis: glaucoma management.

In a family of 55 people in seven generations 28 were known to be affected with autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis. Their glaucoma was characterized by early onset of high intraocular pressures, lability of the pressure both with and without medical treatment, poor response to such treatment and resistance of the optic nerve head to damage even into early middle age. Among the surgical procedures undertaken, goniotomy was not successful but, oddly, iridencleisis was. All indications were that surgery could be delayed into adult life.

Autosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis: genetic features.

Twenty-two members of two families have been identified as being affected with iridogoniodysgenesis. The major clinical features of this disorder are mesodermal remnants in the iridociliary angle associated with abnormal angle vasculature, marked hypoplasia of the iris stroma and increased intraocular pressure leading to glaucoma. The involvement of the two eyes is remarkably symmetric. Pedigree analysis of the larger family provided firm evidence for regular autosomal dominant inheritance as the mechanism of genetic transmission.

Conjunctival papillomas in norther Canadian natives.

Cases of conjunctival papilloma evaluated at a hospital that acts as a referral centre for native people (Indian and Inuit) from northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories were compared with those from other hospitals in the same region whose referral base is primarily non-native. When the data were standardized for population unitsof 100,000 the tumours appeared to be occurring with a greater frequency among lnuit of the Western Arctic. These findings are supported statistically, although it is possible that bias may have been introduced by the small number of cases and other related factors.
