Using lumbar puncture as a diagnostic tool of IIH when the presentation is typical

The authors present the findings of a retrospective observational chart review across three neuro-ophthalmology clinics. Databases at each clinic were searched using inclusion criteria based on established diagnostic criteria for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Cases with missing data, atypical findings...

Accuracy of AS-OCT muscle insertion measurements

Anterior segment - optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is a non-contact imaging method that can provide accurate measures of extraocular muscles to limbus insertion distances. The authors evaluated the accuracy of AS-OCT for locating horizontal extraocular muscle insertions after strabismus surgery...

Accuracy of ASOCT muscle insertion measurements

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) is a non-contact imaging method that can provide accurate measures of extraocular muscles to limbus insertion distances. The authors evaluated the accuracy of ASOCT for locating horizontal extraocular muscle insertions after strabismus surgery in...

Using optical coherence tomography angiography to detect MoyaMoya vasculopathy

Moyamoya (MM) disease is a chronic cerebrovascular disease that can lead to progressive stenosis of the terminal portions of the internal carotid arteries and their proximal branches. The authors carried out a cross-sectional cohort study to investigate vascular changes in...

Features of idiopathic versus non-idiopathic ocular motor apraxia

The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and outcomes of ocular motor apraxia (OMA) in a paediatric neuro-ophthalmology clinic over 10 years. This was a retrospective case review and included 37 patients of which 46% were idiopathic...

Hydrogel expanders in the management of congenital anophthalmia

This is a retrospective case series of 11 anophthalmic orbits in eight children. Anophthalmia can result micro-orbitism, congenital fornix atresia, constricted socket, phimotic lids and reduced palpebral aperture. Expanders play an important role in improving the orbital volume and forniceal...

A paradigm shift: re-defining success in retinal detachment repair

The authors describe in this review article that functional outcomes vary with surgical technique for retinal detachment repair. Traditional definitions of surgical success have been shifted due to advances in imaging techniques. Assessment of the integrity of retinal reattachment including...

Narrative review of opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome following COVID-19

Opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS) / opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMAS) is a rare central nervous system manifestation of COVID-19, but an increasing number of articles have reported patients in whom COVID-19 was complicated by OMS / OMAS. This narrative review...

Features of childhood cases of sixth nerve palsy

Based on limited information available for cranial nerve palsies in children, the authors aimed to collect data on new onset paediatric sixth nerve palsies in a UK population. This was a retrospective study over 10 years for children aged <18...

Review of bupivacaine use in treatment of strabismus

This review aimed to assess the applications of bupivacaine (B) in the non-surgical treatment of strabismus in human and animal studies. Animal studies show that singly-innervated fibres with low concentrations of mitochondria and developed sarcoplasmic reticulum are more affected by...

RetCam use in differential diagnosis for retinoblastoma

The authors aimed to evaluate RetCam fundus photography and fluorescein angiography (FA) findings in pseudo retinoblastoma. This was a retrospective review of 36 eyes of 28 patients (of which six were female) with 22 bilateral cases. Mean age at presentation...

Acute comitant esotropia as the presenting sign of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

The authors present four children with acute comitant esotropia (AACE) associated with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. All were treated with radiation therapy and all subsequently died due to the tumour. Children were aged 5, 5, 4.5 and 11 years. General...
