Visual acuity in children with glaucoma.

PURPOSE: To investigate the risk factors that influence outcome of visual function in children with glaucoma. DESIGN: Retrospective noncomparative interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred twenty-six patients (204 eyes) who had childhood glaucoma observed over 30 years, with a mean follow-up of 11.6 years. INTERVENTIONS: Full ophthalmologic examination, including measurement of corrected visual acuity (VA), slit-lamp and fundus examinations, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, and gonioscopic evaluation; periodic cycloplegic refraction and perimetry; and treatment of amblyopia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Type of glaucoma; final best-corrected VA of good (6/6-6/12), fair (6/15-6/30), or poor (< or =6/60); patient age at time of development of glaucoma complications; and percentage of IOP measurements of < or =19 mmHg, perimetry results, and cup-to-disc (C/D) ratio during follow-up. RESULTS: The most recently measured VAs of children treated for glaucoma were good in 29%, fair in 24%, and poor in 47%. The most favorable outcome was for patients with primary infantile glaucoma followed by secondary glaucoma. Amblyopia and optic nerve damage due to glaucoma were the most frequent complications affecting VA. Patients with an IOP of < or =19 mmHg on 80% of determinations had stable optic nerve C/D ratios and visual fields. CONCLUSIONS: Vision sufficient to qualify for a motor vehicle driving license was attainable in almost 30% of affected eyes. Visual acuity achieved at 6 years of age remained stable over the study period. Treatment of amblyopia is important to achieve this result.

Acquired retraction of the eye as the first sign of myositis.

The authors report a patient who was diagnosed with idiopathic orbital myositis based on the findings of diplopia, worse on right gaze, globe retraction on adduction and injection at the lateral muscle tendon insertion of the left eye. Although orbital myositis as a cause of acquired retraction of the eye is rare, they wish to emphasize the importance of globe retraction with injection over the recti as an important clue for the diagnosis of orbital myositis.

Tolerated cilium in the anterior chamber.

PURPOSE: To describe a patient with a tolerated cilium in the anterior chamber. METHODS: A 15-year-old girl, referred with a 5-year trauma history, was examined. A cilium was noted in the anterior chamber without any inflammation during routine ophthalmological examination. RESULTS: The cilium was removed surgically and the prognosis was excellent. CONCLUSION: The decision to remove a cilium surgically is controversial and must be based on the individual clinical examination.

Bilateral Duane retraction syndrome associated with an extraordinary hand anomaly.

Duane retraction syndrome is an ocular motility disorder with which an increasing number of congenital abnormalities appear to be associated. In the present paper the authors report a case of bilateral Duane retraction syndrome with an extraordinary hand abnormality. Numerous theories concerning the etiology and pathogenesis of Duane retraction syndrome and its relationship to the associated findings have been proposed, but the exact mechanism is still under investigation. Further multi-centered studies and the classification of the associated clinical findings in an organized manner may help to explain this mechanism.
