Introduction: Chorioretinal coloboma (CRC) results from abnormal closure of the embryonic fissure. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a rare complication that associated with choroid. VEGF an important factor in development CNV.
 Case Report: A 52-year-old woman gradual blurred vision left eye since 4 months ago. Right was already she child uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) 0.5/60. Her r...

purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of surgical management of retinal detachments associated with choroidal colobomas methods: in this retrospective study, 31 eyes of 31 patients with coloboma-related retinal detachments enrolled. all the eyes underwent standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with internal tamponade with nonheavy silicon oil in 24 (77.4%) or 20% sulfur...

The techniques used and the outcome in eyes treated for retinal detachment associated with choroidal coloboma are described. We reviewed the medical reports on five eyes of five patients with retinal detachment associated with choroidal coloboma who underwent vitrectomy. Retinal breaks were identified at the margin of or within the coloboma and the retina was successfully reattached by vitrecto...

INTRODUCTION Choroidal coloboma is a congenital defect caused by an inadequate closure of embryonic fissure. About 40% of the eyes with the choroidal coloboma (CHC) develop the retinal detachment (RD). It is extremely difficult to manage these cases due to the lack of pigmentation at the site of choroidal coloboma. OUTLINE OF CASES This is a case series of five patients with CHC and RD who we...

Journal (Sorsby, 1939). The fundi in two brothers whose eye trouble dated back to the early twenties showed a sharplycircumscribed central area in which the choroidal vessels were sclerosed. It is suggested that these cases of choroidal sclerosis are allied to macular coloboma-coloboma on the one hand and " senile " macular degeneration due to choroidal sclerosis on the other, representing the ...

Choroidal coloboma and posterior staphyloma are two clinically distinct entities, with choroidal excavation being a unifying feature. They are associated with early onset cataract which can make ophthalmoscopy difficult. This report studies the transition between the normal and ectatic area in these cases with ultrasound. We evaluate "posterior hump" as a sign of differentiation between these t...

Optic disc pit and optic nerve coloboma are examples of congenital optic disc abnormalities. Although optic nerve coloboma can be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, no conclusive link has been found in the case of optic disc pit as an autosomal dominant disease. We describe two cases: a daughter with an optic disc pit complicated by maculopathy and her mother with a congenitally abnorm...

Coloboma as an ocular finding has been documented in various syndromes. Here we have a case of infantile Tay-Sachs disease associated with unilateral choroidal coloboma. To the best of our knowledge, such an association has not been documented in the literature. Whether such an association is a matter of chance or signifies the involvement of ganglioside metabolism in ocular embryogenesis remai...
