Isolated foveal hypoplasia.

Although defective development of the fovea has long been known to occur in patients with aniridia and albinism, only rarely has isolated foveal hypoplasia unassociated with these conditions been reported. We have identified such foveal hypoplasia in nine patients with varying degrees of congenital nystagmus and poor visual acuity, but no evidence of albinism or aniridia, isolated foveal hypoplasia may be more common as a cause of congenital sensory nystagmus than has been appreciated in the past.

Cluster headache.

Cluster headache is a relatively common form of vascular headache. Its characteristic clinical pattern should allow definitive diagnosis in the vast majority of cases. Extensive diagnostic evaluations are not indicated. Treatment is generally unsatisfactory but helpful in a number of cases. It has a limited natural history and is essentially a benign condition.

Ophthalmic presentations of cluster headache.

Cluster headache is frequently characterized by pain localized to the orbital area. There is often associated ipsilateral oculosympathetic paresis with varying degrees of blepharoptosis and miosis. The ophthalmologist is often confronted with such cases; however, the atypical presentations and the subtle clinical findings may obscure the diagnosis. As cluster headache is a benign condition, accurate recognition is essential to spare the patient potentially harmful diagnostic studies.
