Madarosis is characterized by either complete or partial loss of eyebrow or eyelash hair. Etiologies for madarosis are varied, and accurate diagnosis is the first step in clinical management. Many studies have described findings related to specific causes of madarosis, but few have summarized the collective literature. The purpose of this review is to provide an updated overview on the symptomatology, diagnosis, trichoscopy findings, and treatment of eyebrow and eyelash alopecia.

“…Porphyria as a potential cause for corneal ulceration, opacification and vascularisation is very infrequently emphasised in the literature,2 probably due to the relatively rare occurrence and lack of well-documented cases. Herein, we report a case of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT), in which Boston keratoprosthesis was carried out to restore useful vision in the only salvageable eye with multiple failed grafts following recurrent corneal ulceration and infection.…”

Boston keratoprosthesis for visual rehabilitation in porphyria cutanea tarda

A 56-year-old man, presented with bilateral chronic visual loss associated with generalised skin lesions. He had undergone multiple penetrating keratoplasties in his right eye for recurrent corneal infections and perforations. On ocular examination, his left eye was phthisical and his right eye had light perception vision owing to a failed and vascularised corneal graft. Dermatological evaluation revealed multiple hyperpigmented and hypopigmented lesions along with thickening of skin on nose, scalp and dorsum of hands. Skin biopsy showed focal areas of deposition of faint periodic acid Schiff-positive diastase-resistant perivascular material. The high-performance liquid chromatography assessment revealed increased presence of porphyrins in blood and urine, thus confirming a diagnosis of porphyria cutanea tarda. The patient's vision in the right eye improved after undergoing Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis along with general photoprotective measures for the exposed parts of the body.
