Optic disk abnormalities.

Abstract

Ophthalmoscopic abnormalities of the optic disk may signal the presence of acquired intracranial disease; or the disk anomaly may be congenital and only mimic an acquired disk change; or the disk anomaly may be acquired but caused by a purely ocular disease. The abnormal disk may be elevated, excavated, or flat and may be abnormal in color, contour, or size.

[Goldenhar syndrome. Surgical emergency apropos of a case].

We report a case of Goldenhar syndrome in a six week old infant. This patient had bilateral peribulbar choristoma, bilateral pre-auricular appendix and left superior palpebral coloboma with severe exposure keratitis. This condition necessitated an emergency surgical eyelid repair. The authors discuss the different clinical manifestations of this syndrome and therapeutic modalities, particularly the surgical treatment of choristoma and palpebral coloboma.
