..We herein report a rare complication of epithelial hyperplasia presenting as leukoplakia following cultivated limbal epithelium transplantation mimicking ocular surface squamous neoplasia...

..To evaluate the clinico-pathologic features of intraocular osseous metaplasia...

..Fourth nerve palsy has been reported with PHACE syndrome. We report a child presenting with a triad of congenital third nerve palsy, cerebellar hypoplasia and facial capillary hemangioma...

..Blepharoplasty can be performed by many operative approaches. This review highlights the standard skin-only upper blepharoplasty and lower eyelid conservative fat excision or repositioning...

..Mutations were detected in about one-third of the cases, suggesting that hemizygous deletions at the RB1 locus or mutations outside the coding regions of RB1 may be responsible for the disease in the remaining patients...

..Computed tomography showed an intraocular mass with intracranial extension. She died of metastatic disease despite intensive chemotherapy. Retinoblastoma should be suspected in a child with hyphema following trivial trauma...

..Retinal tumor and subretinal seed recurrence seems to manifest within 3 years of follow-up. Close follow-up of all patients treated with chemoreduction is warranted...

..To report the results of chemoreduction and focal therapy for retinoblastoma with determination of factors predictive of the need for treatment with external beam radiotherapy or enucleation...
