Thyroid eye disease.

Thyroid eye disease remains one of the most common orbital abnormalities encountered by ophthalmologists. While the maintenance of thyroid function remains of paramount importance to the patient's health, the appearance of the orbit, including the eyelid position and position of the globe, proptosis, remains of paramount importance to the patient. Following stabilization of the condition of the globe in the patient with thyroid eye disease, attention is then focused on the rehabilitation of the thyroid orbit. The etiology, diagnosis, and management of thyroid eye disease are discussed.

Transient postictal cortical blindness.

An 8-year-old boy with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and a seizure disorder demonstrated transient visual loss after severe seizure activity. The role of hypoglycemia in relation to his transient cortical blindness remains indeterminate. The nature of the cortical involvement, the rate of visual recovery, and prior reports of postictal phenomena emphasize the relatively benign nature of this condition in children.

Cryptogenic oculomotor nerve palsies in children.

We examined two cases of isolated, acquired, unremitting oculomotor palsies in children. The results of systemic, neurologic, and neuroradiologic investigations were normal. Both children were observed for more than two years and showed no additional signs or symptoms. Acquired isolated oculomotor palsies in some cases are not necessarily a harbinger of serious disease.
