Clinical characteristics of CHARGE syndrome. (1/37)
CHARGE syndrome, first described by Pagon, was named for its six major clinical features. They are: coloboma of the eye, heart defects, atresia of the choanae, retarded growth and development including CNS anomalies, genital hypoplasia and/or urinary tract anomalies, and ear anomalies and/or hearing loss. We experienced three cases of CHARGE syndrome who displayed ocular coloboma, heart defects, retarded growth and development, and external ear anomalies, and we also review the previously reported literature concerning CHARGE syndrome. (+info)Everting suture correction of lower lid involutional entropion. (2/37)
AIMS: To assess the long term efficacy of everting sutures in the correction of lower lid involutional entropion and to quantify the effect upon lower lid retractor function. METHODS: A prospective single armed clinical trial of 62 eyelids in 57 patients undergoing everting suture correction of involutional entropion. Patients were assessed preoperatively and at 6, 12, 24, and 48 months postoperatively. The main outcome variables were lower lid position and the change in lower lid retractor function. RESULTS: When compared with the non-entropic side, the entropic lid had a greater degree of horizontal laxity and poorer lower lid retractor function. These differences however, were not significant. At the conclusion of the study and after a mean follow up period of 31 months, the entropion had recurred in 15% of the patients. There were no treatment failures in the group of five patients with recurrent entropion. The improvement in lower lid retractor function after the insertion of lower lid everting sutures did not reach statistical significance. There was no significant difference between the treatment failure group and the group with a successful outcome with regard to: the degree of horizontal lid laxity or lower lid retractor function present preoperatively; patient age or sex; an earlier history of surgery for entropion. There was neither a demonstrable learning effect nor a significant intersurgeon difference in outcome. The overall 4 year mortality rate was 30%. CONCLUSIONS: The use of everting sutures in the correction of primary or recurrent lower lid involutional entropion is a simple, successful, long lasting, and cost effective procedure. (+info)Role of reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor on involutional entropion. (3/37)
AIMS: To verify and evaluate the effect of reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor aponeurosis to correct involutional entropion. METHODS: The involutional entropion is one affection that occurs mainly in the lower eyelid of patients over 60 years old. The surgical techniques proposed to correct this condition are based on correction of horizontal laxity-the preseptal orbicularis muscle overrides the pretarsal muscle, and the reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor aponeurosis. 30 patients clinically diagnosed with involutional entropion and randomly selected underwent reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor aponeurosis to the tarsal plate, without horizontal shortening or resection of the skin or orbicularis muscle. RESULTS: Good anatomical and functional correction was achieved in 96.6% of the patients and no recurrence was observed on 29 month follow up examination. The surgical result was very satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that this procedure is effective and has low recurrence rate, showing the important role of the reinsertion of the lower eyelid retractor aponeurosis in this surgical correction. (+info)Report of a family with dominantly inherited upper lid entropion. (4/37)
AIM: To report the occurrence of late onset, bilateral, idiopathic upper lid entropion, occurring in three members of the same family, with a known family history. METHODS: Five family members were examined, and a history taken, at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Three patients were treated surgically, and one also had a tarsoconjunctival biopsy. RESULTS: In all cases, no aetiology was found. The family history suggests an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. All patients were treated with anterior lamellar repositioning, and had optimal results. CONCLUSION: The family reported seems to be affected by a familial form of primary acquired upper lid entropion, that shows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. (+info)Refractive changes of congenital entropion and epiblepharon on surgical correction. (5/37)
In order to investigate the refractive error, amblyopic frequency, and refractive change, if any, following recovery of cornea injury through surgery of epiblepharon and congenital entropion patients, we retrospectively reviewed the sex distribution, age at operation, chief complaints, preoperative and postoperative refractive errors, and best corrected visual acuity in 160 previously operated patients. The average age at operation was 7.9 years. The preoperative best corrected visual acuity of 133 eyes (41.6%) was below 5/9. Ninety-five eyes (29.7%) were preoperative myopes above -1.0D; 77 eyes (24%) were hyperopes above +1.0D; and 163 eyes were astigmatic above -1.0D. Of 228 eyes that were followed up for more than one year, 66 eyes demonstrated a best corrected visual acuity of below 5/9. There was no significant difference in the change in corneal astigmatism following surgery between the group under the age of 7 and the group over the age of 7. However, the mean best corrected visual acuity at postoperative one year was 6/9, which was significantly different from the preoperative value (P=0.006). Concurrent postoperative glasses correction and amblyopic therapy is indicated because the incidence of refractive errors and amblyopia is higher in epiblepharon and congenital entropion. (+info)Cautery for lower lid entropion. (6/37)
A prospective study was undertaken to evaluate a simple cautery technique for the correction of involutional lower lid entropion in 50 patients. After a 12 month follow-up period all patients were free of entropion. Only one patient needed to have the procedure repeated because of recurrence. The technique was found to be simple, effective, safe, and required very little time and skill. (+info)Blinding trachoma: prevention with the safe strategy. (7/37)
Trachoma, the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, differentially affects the poorest communities, which may have the least access to resources. With the establishment of the Global Elimination of Blinding Trachoma by 2020 (GET 2020) goal, the World Health Organization has set an ambitious target for country programs. The currently recommended surgery for trichiasis/entropion, antibiotics for active disease, facial cleanliness, and environmental change to reduce transmission (SAFE) strategy targets all key elements believed to be necessary for a short- and long-term intervention program. This report reviews the need for a multi-faceted strategy, and the evidence supporting the elements of SAFE. Concerns about the implementation are discussed. Additional research is suggested that will enhance the implementation of the SAFE strategy. In the current climate of significant political and social momentum for trachoma control, the SAFE strategy is a safe bet to accomplish the elimination of blinding trachoma. (+info)Community-based transconjunctival marginal rotation for cicatricial trachoma in Indians from the Upper Rio Negro basin. (8/37)
The objective of the present study was to describe, for the first time in Brazil, the use by a non-ophthalmologist of a community-based marginal rotation procedure by a posterior approach in the indigenous population from the Upper Rio Negro basin. Seventy-three upper eyelids of 46 Indians (11 males and 35 females) with cicatricial upper eyelid entropion and trichiasis were operated in the Indian communities using a marginal rotational procedure by a posterior approach by a non-ophthalmologist physician who had general surgery experience but only an extremely short period (one week) of ophthalmic training. Subjects were reevaluated 6 months after surgery. Results were classified according to the presence and location of residual trichiasis and symptoms were assessed according to a three-level subjective scale (better, worse or no change). Fifty-six eyelids (76.7%) were free from trichiasis, whereas residual trichiasis was observed in 17 eyelids (23.3%) of 10 subjects. In these cases, trichiasis was either lateral or medial to the central portion of the lid. Of these 10 patients, only 4 reported that the surgery did not improve the irritative symptoms. We conclude that marginal rotation by a posterior approach is an effective and simple procedure with few complications, even when performed by non-specialists. Due to its simplicity the posterior approach is an excellent option for community-based upper eyelid entropion surgery. (+info)
