Background :There is not any data available about the effect of high bar pressure condition on intracranial pressure. In this study, the effect of diving on the optic nerve and sheath diameters as non-invasive markers of intracranial pressure has been investigated.   Methods : Twenty professional male divers from twenty one volunteers were chosen for this cross-sectional study. Only one perso...

BACKGROUND In eyes with severe organic defects the question arises if amblyopia therapy makes sense. PATIENTS AND METHODS Three children are presented in whom despite severe organic eye diseases amblyopia therapy was tried. The first child had a unilateral large macular scar secondary to retinoblastoma treatment, the second a unilateral severe optic nerve atrophy secondary to an orbital heman...

Interstitial deletions of chromosome 12p are rare, and the phenotype spectrum is therefore still unknown. The thirteen patients reported so far suffer from developmental delay, optic nerve hypoplasia, micropenis, hypoplastic hair and skin, oligodontia, brachydactyly, and arterial hypertension. We report a de novo 12p12.2-p11.22 deletion of 9.2 Mb detected by array CGH analysis in a boy with glo...

the purpose of this study was to investigate magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the normal feline eyeand optic nerves using t1-weighted and t2-weighted images. a total of 6 healthy female domestic short haircats age 2-2.5 years and weighing 3.2 ± 0.4 kg were selected. magnetic resonance imaging data werecollected using gemsow (philips) at a magnetic field strength of 1.5 t. dorsal, sagittal, a...

purpose : to report a rare case of large vascularized astrocytoma on optic disc. case report : a 12-year-old boy with history of decreased vision in the left eye since 5-6 months ago was referred to the ocular oncology service at rassoul akram hospital with provisional diagnosis of retinoblastoma. on examination, visual acuity was counting fingers at 50 cm, and a 3+ relative afferent pupillary ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical findings in 3 eyes with circumscribed choroidal hemangioma before and after treatment with photodynamic therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the setting of a tertiary referral center, 2 patients with circumscribed, posteriorly located, choroidal hemangiomas (thicknesses 2.4 and 2.9 mm) contiguous with the superior boundary of the optic nerve and accompanied by s...

purpose : to evaluate orbital blood flow velocities and optic nerve diameter with doppler and gray-scale sonography in patients with acute unilateral optic neuritis (on) methods : orbital doppler and gray-scale sonography was performed in 46 eyes of 23 patients aged 19-47 with acute unilateral on. on was diagnosed by an ophthalmologist on the basis of clinical presentation, presence of decrease...

objective the diagnosis of de morsier syndrome or septo-optic dysplasia is made on the basis of the diagnosis of optic nerve hypoplasia. septo-optic dysplasia is defined by a variable combination of dysgenesis of midline brain structures including optic nerve hypoplasia and hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction often associated with a wide variety of brain malformations of cortical development. th...
