Peripheral retinal ischemia in a young Indian woman with neurofibromatosis type 1

Neurofibromatosis type 1 [NF-1] is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by cafe-au-lait spots, neurofibromas, axillary freckling, Lisch nodules of iris, gliomas and various systemic vascular ischemic manifestations mainly in the aorta, brain and kidney. Retinal vascular manifestations in patients with NF-1 are usually representative of retinal capillary hemangiomatosis. Few cases of NF-1 with retinal vascular occlusive disease have been described. We describe a young Indian woman with NF-1 with unilateral peripheral retinal ischemia but no vascular abnormality at the posterior pole

Ocular findings in a case of periorbital giant congenital melanocytic nevus

Giant congenital melanocytic nevus [GCMN] is a large melanocytic nevus that rarely occurs in the periorbital region. Various systemic, as well as ophthalmic associations, have been reported with GCMN. However, there is only one case report describing ophthalmic findings in periorbital GCMN. We describe the ocular findings in a case of periorbital GCMN
