“…How important von Graefe is in ophthalmology and medicine can be seen in the numerous memorials and his great legacy ( Fig. 1 ) 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . He also occasionally practiced ophthalmology and performed eye surgeries outside of Berlin, especially in Würzburg (1855 – 1861) and Heiden (1859 – 1869) 7 , 8 , 9 .…”

“…Torsion was first described by von Graefe who noted a vertical macular displacement with respect to the optic disc [ 12 ]. However, ocular torsion is often not considered in the clinical diagnosis of ocular motility disorders nor taken into the preoperative surgical measurement calculations for horizontal strabismus surgery [ 1 ].…”

Purpose: To report the rate of ocular torsion in children with horizontal strabismus or orthophoria. Methods: A retrospective study design was used. Nineteen children were included in the study, including seven girls, aged 4–16 years. All patients were examined for strabismus and 12 were scheduled for surgical intervention. All participants had digital fundus photos (DRSplus, Padova, Italy) of both eyes at presentation, and 5 of 12 also had fundus photos following the strabismus operation. Patient files were reviewed for age, demographic data, type of strabismus, clinical symptoms and signs, orthoptic exams, subjective and objective reports of torsion, inferior oblique overaction, and V pattern. Fundus photos were analyzed for torsion by ImageJ software [ImageJ 1.54f, National Institute of Health, USA]. The disc-foveal angle was calculated for ocular torsion. Disc-foveal angle was defined as the angle formed between a line passing through the center of the optic disc to the fovea and another horizontal line passing through the center of the optic disc, using fundus photographs. Results: Of the 19 children, 18 had horizontal strabismus: 9 with exotropia and 9 with esotropia. One child was orthophoric with torsional strabismus. Inferior oblique overaction was detected in all but 3 children, while V pattern was documented in 10. Visual acuity was reduced (under 6/12) in four eyes of four children. None were symptomatic for ocular torsion. Although extorsion was documented clinically in 3 of 19 children, it was measurable on fundus photos in all patients before surgery with a mean of 8.7 ± 8.5 degrees and 8.5 ± 9.7 degrees in the right and left eyes, respectively. The mean extorsion in both eyes was 19.7 ± 10.1 degrees and improved to a mean of 15.3 ± 7.9 degrees in the children who were operated on and had documented postoperative fundus photographs. Conclusions: Extorsion was detected on fundus photos at a significantly higher rate than in clinical examination. Notably, inferior oblique overaction was mainly associated with torsion. This study demonstrated that torsion is underdiagnosed in clinical examinations, as the children are often asymptomatic, but fundus photos which are easily obtained can improve its detection.

“…Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a subtype of ischemic stroke and a true ocular emergency that can lead to permanent vision loss. It was first described in 1859 by von Graefe, a Prussian ophthalmologist and founder of modern ophthalmology [1]. CRAO is rare, with an incidence of one to two cases per 100,000 [2,3].…”

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a subtype of ischemic stroke and true ocular emergency presenting with acute, painless, monocular vision loss. Typical findings include poor visual acuity (VA), impaired color vision, relative afferent pupillary defect, and on fundoscopic evaluation, retinal edema, cherry red spot, and occasionally visualization of retinal artery emboli. While there are no proven treatments for CRAO, options include orbital massage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and intra-arterial or intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). This study reviews the current literature on the efficacy of IVT for patients affected by acute, symptomatic CRAO and provides an up-to-date, evidence-based background for emergency physicians (EPs) who evaluate and manage these patients.
