“…Nagaoka et al [5] report a case of congenital high myopia followed for 30 years (from the sixth to the 36th year), and the posterior fundus showed slight enlargement of the peripapillary crescent. Yasuzumi et al [6] report that significant enlargement of the peripapillary crescent occurred in 60 of 88 highly myopic eyes (68.1 %) in patients whose ages ranged from 5 to 28 years (mean 12 years).…”

“…In eyes with longer axial length in congenital myopia, posterior staphyloma is more common than an overall increase in the size of the globe. [15] Notably, in the current study, myopic eyes with UCNLDO had significantly greater axial length compared to eyes with refractive error other than myopia and unilateral CNLDO. Only low myopia (<2 D) was present in both eyes in the current study.…”

BACKGROUND/AIMS:To evaluate the refractive status, axial length, and prevalence of amblyopia among Saudi children with unilateral congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (UCNLDO) compared to the unaffected fellow eye.METHODS:A retrospective chart review was performed for children with UCNLDO at two eye institutes in Eastern Saudi Arabia from 2009 to 2015. The outcomes of syringing determined UNCLDO. The risk factors for amblyopia were defined as anisometropia of (spherical equivalent) >1.5 D, hyperopia >3.5 D, myopia >3.0 D, astigmatism >1.5 D at 90° or 180°, >1.0 D, any manifest strabismus, any media opacity >1 mm, or ptosis 1 mm or less margin reflex distance 1 along with blunting of vision in that eye. Matched-pair analysis was performed to correlate variables. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS:We included 39 children with UNCLDO. The mean axial length was 21.4 ± 1.3 mm for the eyes with UCNLDO and 21.6 ± 1.0 mm for the fellow eye (P = 0.4). Hyperopia >+2 D was present in 17 (44%) eyes with UCNLDO and none of the fellow eyes. None of the participants had strabismus.CONCLUSION:Axial length and risk factors of amblyopia such as anisometropia, hyperopia, and strabismus were not associated with UCNLDO. UCNLDO is likely an isolated defect.

“…It is accompanied by degenerative changes in retina like posterior staphyloma, Foster-Fuch's spots, Lacquer cracks, peripapillary atrophy, chorioretinal atrophy etc. Posterior staphyloma is pathognomic of pathological myopia [4,5]. MRCS syndrome is combination of Myopia with RP (microcornea, retinal dystrophy, cataract and staphyloma) [6,7].…”

“…Posterior staphyloma is a diagnostic feature of pathological myopia occurring as a consequence of localized thinning and stretching of the ocular coats due to axial elongation. Here, we report a female with co-existing RP and posterior staphyloma [4].…”

Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a common retinal dystrophy which causes progressive vision loss. Waxy disc pallor, arteriolar attenuation with mid-peripheral bony spicules form characteristic triad of the disease. Beginning as nyctalopia, the disease progresses to cause significant vision loss and visual field defect. Pathological myopia, staphyloma and cataract may be associated with the disorder as spectrum of MRCS syndrome which has a varied phenotypic presentation. We would like to report one such case.

Abstract: Long-term follow-up showed that the posterior fundus did not change radically and good vision as maintained in spite of a significant increase in the axial length.
