Churg–Strauss syndrome in association with proliferative retinopathy

Association of CXCL12 and CXCR4 Genes Polymorphism with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy in Diabetic Patients

Introduction: Patients with diabetes are prone to develop complications related to the retina. So far, several genes have been reported in connection with the progression of retinopathy, and a group of these genes is genes involved in angiogenesis. CXCL12 and CXCR4 genes are among the most important genes in this path, which have been less studied and investigated. The aim of this study was to ...

Vitrectomy for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Associated with Klinefelter Syndrome

INTRODUCTION We encountered a patient with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) who experienced poor outcomes after vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). CASE A 44-year-old male with poorly controlled diabetes was diagnosed with KS by chromosome analysis. Ocular findings revealed severe PDR complicated with extensive preretinal hemorrhages and traction retinal detachment in his left e...

head in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy

An anatomical taxonomy for neovascular proliferation of the optic nerve head in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy is presented. The technique consists in comparing (A) number of involved quadrants, (B) calibre of vessels, (C) neovascular density, (D) neovascular area, (E) plane of proliferation, and (F) fluorescein angiographic findings. A similar taxonomy is used to describe fib...

Crouzon syndrome in association with acanthosis nigricans

Crouzon syndrome is a rare inherited autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia. Acanthosis nigricans may be associated with Crouzon syndrome, but it differs from the classic crouzon syndrome. This is a report of a 30-year-old-woman who presented acanthosis nigricans coexist with crouzon syndrome.
