Presented here are hereditary cases of congenital microcoria associated with goniodysgenesis. The proband was a 64 year-old woman with poor development of collarettes and crypts of the iris. Gonioscopic examination revealed anterior chamber irregularities. Three out of six of her siblings suffered from the same anterior chamber anomaly but did not have glaucoma. All the affected members had microcoria associated with goniodysgenesis which was transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern.
Four cases of external ocular myiasis caused by larvae of Oestrus ovis are reported. Each patient showed some degree of inflammation in the lids and conjunctiva. Regression was only subsequent to removal of parasites from the eye. Two patients had respiratory signs, i.e. rhinitis. For one of these two cases, a short-time admission in the resuscitation unit was recommended following a noticeable bronchospasm. The pathogenetic mechanism of this respiratory distress is not known. Two hypotesis are made.
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.
