ABSTRACT
To present a child who developed bilateral Lisch nodules 3 years after he had been diagnosed to have Noonan syndrome. Patient evaluation included: complete general and ophthalmic examination, and imaging studies. Bilateral Lisch nodules raised the possibility of neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome in an 8-year-old Saudi boy, diagnosed previously to have Noonan syndrome. Signs of neurofibromatosis may appear years after the diagnosis of Noonan syndrome. This mandates periodic ophthalmic evaluation as the ophthalmologist may find the first clue for diagnosing neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome

ABSTRACT
To report a case of traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula [CCF] in whom loss of vision was reversed after closure of the fistula. Case report. A 15-year-old female had a 12-day history of visual loss, proptosis, and redness in the right eye after sustaining trauma to the head in a road traffic accident. Examination revealed the presence of optic neuropathy and exudative retinal detachment. Angiography demonstrated a CCF. Vision was completely restored and exudative retinal detachment resolved after closure of the fistula. Although CCFs frequently are associated with permanent visual loss, a subset of patients demonstrates reversible ocular findings
