Development of monofixation syndrome in congenital esotropia.

Fifty patients with 8 prism diopters or less of esotropia after the last surgery were studied. Forty-nine percent of those straightened before 12 months of age and 41% of those straightened between 13-24 months developed the M.S. Only one of 22 patients straightened after the age of two developed the M.S. Although D.V.D and overaction of the inferior oblique muscles were associated findings, neither precluded the development of the M.S. Those patients without M.S. had a higher incidence of subsequent exotropia and manifest D.V.D.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis which was first recognized by dermatologists. The ocular complications provide the primary concern and notably affect the iris, producing spontaneous hemorrhages in the anterior chamber. Secondary glaucoma and blindness are real threats unless the condition is recognized in the early stages and satisfactory treatment instituted. Other ocular manifestations include epibulbar lesions with corneal involvement and proptosis due to orbital lesions of JXG.
