Dermabond alone provides a simple coverage for a myriad of pediatric urological surgical wounds. Early bathing and return to activity do not appear to impact negatively on wound healing when a simple skin barrier is used in place of standard dressings.
Abstract. Hypotony is a common complication following trabeculectomy in which antimetabolites are used. Autologous blood injection is an accepted form of treatment for hypotony that occurs secondary to overfiltration; however, injection into the filtering bleb has been associated with a rise in intraocular pressure for some patients with chronic postoperative hypotony. The authors describe a patient in whom corneal blood staining with raised intraocular pressure and loss of vision occurred as a result of autologous blood injection.

Background: The Lenz syndrome (Mendelian Inheritance in Man catalog number 309800) is a presumed X-linked recessive disorder. Major diagnostic criteria include ocular, skeletal, and urogenital manifestations. We describe two sisters and the two sons of one of them with Lenz syndrome. The eye from one boy was removed because of pain and total loss of vision, allowing histopathologic documentation of the ocular malformations.
Methods: Clinicopathologic case report.
Results: Two sisters in this family displayed several of the major diagnostic criteria of the Lenz syndrome. The stunted growth of the eye, and the ocular and non-ocular anomalies defines the microphthatmos as monogenie, complex, and colobomatous.
Conclusion: The pattern of inheritance of Lenz syndrome is best explained by X-linked dominant transmission. Future reports of familial cases with an excess of affected females are needed to confirm this hypothesis.
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.
