  • Cerebral visual impairment and effect of phase-wise stimulation strategies- An interim analysis

    Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
    Context: Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is an overarching term, defined as a brain-based visual impairment with onset in childhood, unexplained by an ocular disorder and associated with unique visual and behavioral characteristics. Good vision and awareness of visual function in a child are highly essential as neuroplasticity is maximum in the first three years of life and response to intervention is utmost in this period. Awareness is lacking regarding CVI, and the diagnosis is largely missed. This can be easily addressed if a structured approach is employed. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the etiology and radiological correlation with the severity of CVI and outcome after structured intervention in children with CVI. Settings and Design: Prospective—interventional study. Methods and Material: Children attending the Child Development Centre (CDC) of a tertiary care hospital in North Karnataka and diagnosed with CVI in the age group of six months to 12 years and meeting the sampling criteria were screened and enrolled consecutively after obtaining parental consent/assent. Statistical analysis used is nonparametric test with SPSS software. Results: Age showed a significant association with the phase of CVI. Perinatal insult was associated significantly with the severity of CVI. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings did not hamper the recovery of CVI. Conclusions: Enrolment in early intervention programs tailored according to child’s specific needs should be encouraged, with stress on ophthalmic screening of preterm and high-risk babies with perinatal hypoxia and history of convulsions, as early as six months.
  • Spontaneous subconjunctival abscess in congenital lamellar ichthyosis

    Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018
    Congenital lamellar ichthyosis is an autosomal recessive, heterogeneous disorder presenting at birth with generalized skin involvement. The most common ophthalmic manifestation noted is bilateral ectropion of the lower eyelids. A 1-month-old female neonate, the second born of a nonconsanguineous marriage, presented with 4 days' history of redness, discharge, and swelling in the right eye. There was severe right upper eyelid ectropion, conjunctival injection, chemosis, a subconjunctival mass on the temporal bulbar conjunctiva spontaneously draining pus and corneal haze. The anterior chamber, iris, lens and fundus appeared normal. Congenital lamellar ichthyosis was suspected because of scaling and excessive dryness of the entire body. The occurrence of a spontaneous subconjunctival abscess is not known in lamellar ichthyosis. We thus report the management of a rare case of unilateral upper eyelid ectropion, subconjunctival abscess with orbital cellulitis in congenital lamellar ichthyosis.
