Laser Treatment of Zone I Prethreshold and Stage 3 Threshold Retinopathy of Prematurity

PURPOSE To analyze the structural outcomes of zone I prethreshold and stage 3 threshold retinopathy of prematurity following laser ablation. PATIENTS AND METHODS This nonrandomized observational case series evaluated 71 eyes of 36 infants who weighed less than 1,250 g at birth. Infants were treated at either prethreshold or threshold severity. The structural outcomes were compared using Fishers exact test. RESULTS The structural outcome was favorable in 96% and 80% of the prethreshold and threshold groups, respectively (P = .069). When an unfavorable outcome was defined as dragging of the temporal vessels, the difference was significant (P = .0257). CONCLUSION Early treatment of zone I disease may result in a better structural outcome.

Andogsky Syndrome and Association of Other Genodermatoses

A case of a 12-year-old girl will be presented with Andogsky syndrome (juvenile cataract and atopic dermatitis), in whom complementary symptoms such as birdlike tapered fingertips and independent toes were found as other genodermatoses.
