Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the clinical and imaging features in a series of patients diagnosed with macular coloboma (MC) and intrachoroidal cavitation (ICC). METHODS Patients diagnosed with MC based on clinical examination between June 2017 and July 2021 were retrieved from the electronic medical record system and were included in the study. Colour fundus photographs, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Multicolour® imaging scans of these patients were analysed. RESULTS We identified 16 eyes of 11 patients with MC on fundus examination. Based on OCT imaging features, conforming variant of MC was seen in 9 (56%) eyes and non-conforming variant in 7 (44%) eyes. No eyes with MC in the study showed features of both conforming and non-conforming varieties simultaneously. In the non-conforming variety of MC with presence of intercalary membrane break, ICC was identified in 5 (71%) of these eyes. ICC in MC appeared as flat, dark greenish areas with or without an orange-coloured boundary abutting the margin of the coloboma on Multicolour® imaging. CONCLUSION In 31% eyes, ICC was seen in non-conforming type of MC and was well-identified on Multicolour® imaging. It appears that presence of intercalary membrane break and detachment are prerequisites for developing ICC.

Abstract
Objectives: To present the clinical features of and diagnostic methods used for macular coloboma (MC), and to analyze the factors associated with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in patients with MC.Methods: A systematic review using the MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, LILACS, and Cochrane databases was performed. The factors associated with BCVA were analyzed.Results: A total of 21 patients (mean age at diagnosis, 18.1 ± 14.6 years) with 36 eyes affected by MC (5 unilateral, 16 bilateral) were included in the study. All 21 patients (100%) had undergone a good-quality fundus examination. The size of the MC lesions ranged from 1.0 × 1.2 to 4.0 × 4.0 disc diameters (DD). Twenty-seven (73%) eyes had pigmented MC, seven (19%) had non-pigmented MC, and one (3%) had an unspecific type. The diagnosis was confirmed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in 16 (43.2%) eyes. A positive correlation was found between BCVA and the type of MC (β = 0.876, p = .006) and abnormal eye movement (β = 0.087, p = .018), and a negative correlation was found between BCVA and a contributory medical history of ventricular septal defect (β = -0.327, p = .001).Conclusions: Pigmented MC was the most common type and had the highest possibility of causing impaired vision in the affected eyes. Additionally, joint examinations should be applied for diagnostic confirmation of MC. Furthermore, fundoscopy, electroretinogram, electrooculography, fundus fluorescein angiography, and SD-OCT are all critical for differential diagnosis of MC-like lesions.

Schmidt J, Wollnik B. Hallermann-Streiff syndrome: A missing molecular link for a highly recognizable syndrome. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL GENETICS PART C-SEMINARS IN MEDICAL GENETICS 2019; 178:398-406. [PMID: 30580479 DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.c.31668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2018] [Revised: 10/23/2018] [Accepted: 10/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The use of modern next-generation sequencing-based approaches for gene identification has tremendously improved our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of the great majority of well-known syndromes, whereas only a few remain to be elucidated. Hallermann-Streiff syndrome is such a disorder for which the molecular basis is still unknown although it represents a highly recognizable phenotype. Clinically, patients with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome show typical craniofacial dysmorphism, eye malformations, a distinctive facial appearance, abnormalities of hair and skin, short stature, and, interestingly, they might also present with aspects of premature aging. The clinical diagnosis is mainly given by the very typical facial gestalt of patients. In this review, we (a) summarize the current knowledge on the phenotypic traits, focusing on described classic cases, (b) discuss the missing molecular link, and (c) present innovative future strategies for gene identification.

Abstract
The author reports the first association of central areolar choroidal dystrophy in three brothers with pseudoachondroplastic spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia. Both central areolar choroidal dystrophy and pseudoachondroplastic spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia represent heterogeneous disorders with autosomal dominant transmission. It is hypothesized that this association is a result of a new subtype involving both the skeletal system and the eye.

Abstract
Relato de um caso de síndrome de Seckel apresentando resultados pneumencefalográficos e hormonais dignos de registro. As dosagens hormonais indicaram a existência de um distúrbio na atividade do hormônio de crescimento, havendo estímulo acima do normal do H.G.H. e inatividade sobre a curva dos ácidos graxos não saturados. O registro pneumencefalográfico de atrofia das circunvoluções cerebrais é o primeiro a ser publicado em paciente com síndrome de Seckel, podendo ser considerado como uma confirmação dos achados anátomo-patológicos relatados por McKusick (mierocefalia pongidea).
