[Prognostic factors for acute retinal necrosis: Retrospective analysis of a series of 37 immunocompetent patients]
We study data and prognostic factors in a population of 37 patients with acute retinal necrosis.
Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy complicated by a stroke, leading to the diagnoses of lupus anticoagulant and hypercysteinemia
To report a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) complicated by a stroke, leading to the diagnoses of lupus anticoagulant and hypercysteinemia.
Efficacy of latanoprost in the treatment of ciliary madarosis
Ciliary madarosis, characterized by the partial or complete loss of eyelashes, has limited treatment options, especially in pediatric cases. Prostaglandin analogues, primarily used in glaucoma treatment, have shown potential as a novel approach for promoting eyelash regrowth due to their hypertrichotic effects. We report the case of a 5-year-old boy presenting with isolated eyelash loss on the right upper eyelid. Following unremarkable systemic and ophthalmologic evaluations, the child was treated with nightly latanoprost 0.005% eye drops applied to the eyelid margin. After three months, eyelash regrowth was observed, with no adverse effects. This case highlights the potential of latanoprost as a viable treatment for pediatric ciliary madarosis. Further research is warranted to establish guidelines for its off-label use in eyelash loss.

[Giant cell arteritis (GCA) presenting as isolated paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM)]
Conjunctival squamous neoplasia masquerading as necrotizing anterior scleritis
Eye rubbing, pillow contact, and corneal endothelial cell density
While eye rubbing and eye-pillow contact increase the risk of keratoconus, their association with corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and central corneal thickness (CCT) remains unclear. The goal of this study was to assess the association between these behaviors and corneal ECD and CCT.

Weekly adalimumab: A promising approach for managing refractory non-infectious chronic pediatric uveitis
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of weekly adalimumab (Q1 week) in children with chronic non-infectious uveitis following an inadequate response to biweekly adalimumab (Q2 weeks).
[Reversal of optic disc cupping in juvenile glaucoma after filtering surgery]
To report and present imaging of a case of reversal of optic disc cupping following filtering surgery in juvenile glaucoma.
[Status of and indications for keratoplasty in Madagascar]
Corneal diseases, with various aetiologies, are a major cause of visual impairment and blindness in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), they are among the top five causes of blindness worldwide. However, performing a keratoplasty can restore vision.
