Refractive errors progressively shift along myopia up to the third decade and change to hypermetropia till the seventh decade. Hyperopic shift in the refractive error in young adults should be well noted while planning any refractive surgery in younger patients with myopia.
Aniridia is a rare developmental disorder. Glaucoma and complications associated with glaucoma surgery are a major cause of blindness in patients with aniridia. We describe here a case of a nine year old boy who presented with familial aniridia of both eyes along with glaucoma. He was treated by trabeculectomy of both eyes, which was successful in controlling the glaucoma.
We report an atypical presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
(NHL) in a child aged 18 months who presented with rapidly
progressive bilateral proptosis. Computerized search using
Medline did not reveal a similar presentation of NHL in such a
young child. It stresses the need for an early histopathological
study including immunohistochemistry and demonstrates
the dramatic local response to combined radiotherapy and
chemotherapy even in advanced stages without any ocular side-
effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
