Abstract

A patient with a previously undescribed spontaneous arrhythmic vertical eye movement termed slow-upward ocular bobbing is reported. The patient had a one-and-a-half syndrome due to pontine infarction. A simplified scheme for describing the variations of ocular bobbing is proposed based on the velocity and direction of the initial eye movement.

Uses and complications of mitomycin C in ophthalmology.

Mitomycin C is a chemotherapeutic agent that acts by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Its use and application in ophthalmology has been increasing in recent years because of its modulatory effects on wound healing. Current applications include pterygium surgery, glaucoma surgery, corneal refractive surgery, cicatricial eye disease, conjunctival neoplasia and allergic eye disease. Although it has been used successfully in these conditions, it has also been associated with significant complications. This article reviews the current trends and uses of mitomycin C in the eye and its reported complications.
