SRT may be a viable option for treatment of primary ONSM in patients with documented progressive visual deterioration, and it may be effective in improving or stabilizing remaining functional vision.
A case of Möbius syndrome was associated with transposition of the aorta and pulmonary artery, as well as acheiria. This combination of anomalies supports the hypothesis that Möbius syndrome is caused by an intrapartum insult during the fourth to seventh week of gestation and is consistent with the vascular theory of embryopathogenesis.
A woman developed headaches, transient visual obscurations, anosmia, and decreased visual acuity. Ocular examination showed bilateral pulsatile proptosis and disc edema with choroidal folds. Standardized ophthalmic echography showed absence of bony orbital roofs, prominent dural pulsations, direct apposition of brain parenchyma and orbital tissues, and echographic signs suggesting bilateral optic nerve compression. CT and MRI showed a large defect in the floor of the anterior cranial fossa. The cribriform plate, both orbital roofs, and sphenoid bones were displaced by a large basal encephalocele. Clinical improvement followed reconstruction of the anterior cranial fossa and decompression of both optic nerves.
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.
