چکیده
Purpose: To report a rare case of bilateral circumscribed posterior keratoconus in microcornea associated with unilateral irido-fundal coloboma. Method: A case of bilateral circumscribed posterior keratoconus associated with unilateral irido-fundal coloboma presented to us with complaints of diminution of vision in both eyes since birth. The patient had undergone renal transplant for end stage renal disease secondary to chronic glomerulonephritis. Anterior segment examination including anterior segment optical coherence tomography, fundus evaluation and Scheimpflug imaging was done to confirm and document the findings of bilateral posterior keratoconus and irido-fundal coloboma. Results: The diagnosis of bilateral posterior keratoconus was made by typical clinical findings and anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Thinning of posterior curvature of cornea was found on slit lamp examination and was confirmed on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (A/S OCT). Since the thinning was localised, diagnosis of bilateral circumscribed posterior keratoconus was made. Unilateral irido-fundal coloboma was documented on anterior segment and fundus photography. Conclusions: This is the first case report documenting bilateral circumscribed posterior keratoconus along with unilateral irido-fundal coloboma. Further studies are required to look for any association between these two diseases and of these diseases with other ocular as well as systemic anomalies.

Unilateral microcornea and enophthalmos with bilateral anterior and posterior anomalies.
THE term microcornea should be reserved for the condition wherein an abnormally small cornea (diameter less than 11 mm.) occurs in an otherwise relatively normal eye (Mann, 1957). Friede (1922) suggested the term "anterior microphthalmos", because the whole of the anterior segment of the eye seems to be small. The rectus muscles are inserted abnormally far forwards, and the corneal curvature te...

This paper documents a rare nonprogressive developmental disorder-bilateral circumscribed posterior keratoconus-in a 60-year-old man referred for a cataract surgery. For the first time ultrasound biomicroscopy was used to visualise the local anterior bulging of the posterior corneal surface with concomitant thinning of the stroma. The amount of localized posterior depression, corneal thickness ...
متن کاملPAX6 gene analysis in irido-fundal coloboma
PURPOSE To screen the paired box gene 6 (PAX6) gene in irido-fundal coloboma. METHODS The entire coding region of PAX6 including intron-exon boundaries was amplified from cases (n=30) and controls (n=30). All sequences were analyzed against the ensemble sequence (ENSG00000007372) for PAX6. RESULTS DNA sequence analysis of patients and controls revealed a total of three nucleotide changes (g...

Introduction: Beckers’s nevus is a cutaneous hamartoma which usually appears as a circumscribed hyperpigmentation with hypertrichosis. It usually presents unilaterally and the usual site is shoulder and scapula. It is rarely congenital and it is usually noticed first during adolescence. Case Report: Herein, we report a congenital bilateral large Becker’s nevus with positive familial history ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the role of unilateral and bilateral tooth extraction treatment on maxillary arch symmetry in Class II subdivision cases
Background and Aim: Unilateral extractions have been proposed as potential treatment options to correct Class II subdivision malocclusion, suggesting that most side effects associated with asymmetrical mechanics can be avoided, however the post-treatment arch form may not be symmetrical. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the post-treatment effects of unilateral premolar extrac...
