The ratio of esotropia to exotropia in our study is comparable to previous studies done in predominantly European and Middle Eastern populations. Surgical esotropia decreased with age while surgical exotropia increased. Overall, our rates of sensory strabismus were much higher than previously reported, even if we compare only the younger patients.
A 34-year-old man presented to the ophthalmology clinic because of an enlarging mass of the left bulbar conjunctiva, found to be Kaposi sarcoma by histologic examination. The patient had no prior diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus infection, making this one of only two descriptions in the literature of conjunctival Kaposi sarcoma as the initial presentation of human immunodeficiency virus infection. With surgical resection and highly active antiretroviral therapy, the prognosis is good.
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.
