Visual development in infants: visual complications of periocular haemangiomas

Laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy for bilateral hyperopia and hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia in children

“…The LASEK and general anesthesia techniques have been described in detail. [1][2][3][4][5][6] In addition, mitomycin-C 0.02% (MMC) applied to the stromal surface for 60 seconds in eyes with more than C5.00 D of hyperopia. The MMC was then washed off aggressively with a cold balanced salt solution (20 cc), and LASEK was performed using a Technolas 217 microtracker laser.…”

“…This is especially true when children have concurrent medical diagnoses such as autism, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, Down syndrome, or other associated ocular disorders (eg, corneal, retinal, and optic nerve problems). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] We previously reported our experience treating myopia and myopic anisometropic amblyopia with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) 1,2 and published case reports 3 showing favorable visual results in children with myopia or myopic anisometropic amblyopia and coexisting medical and ocular pathology. Our results were favorable, with overall improvement in the vision and fusional status.…”

Atypical Presentation of Capillary Hemangioma of Upper Eyelid: A Case Report

“…Histologically, they are characterized by proliferating endothelial cells. They generally present within a few weeks after birth and undergo a rapid proliferating phase, followed by a period of relative quiescence, regressing after a few years into an involution phase (1,2). The clinical course can be variable.…”

“…Here, a case study is presented, along with some of the current treatment modalities. The modalities available are intralesional and systemic steroid, bleomycin, interferon-alpha, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, topical timolol maleate, oral propranolol, and surgical excision (1,5).…”

Distribution of Propranolol in Periocular Tissues: A Comparison of Topical and Systemic Administration

“…16,17 Particularly, when the visual development is affected due to tumor growth in these periocular regions, patients need to be treated immediately. 18 Oral propranolol is more clinically acceptable for periocular CHs than corticosteroid treatments due to the well-known side effects of corticosteroid treatment and effectiveness of propranolol therapy. 19 Currently, propranolol is only administered systemically despite the potential side effects associated with systemic propranolol.…”
