ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To report ophthalmic findings in three siblings with Seckel syndrome. METHODS: Observational case report. Three siblings with Seckel syndrome were examined. RESULTS: Severe bilateral pigmentary retinopathy with severe myopia and astigmatism was found in all three patients. Electroretinography was performed on the eldest sibling and showed no detectable rod or cone responses. CONCLUSION: Severe, early onset, bilateral retinal degeneration with severe myopia and astigmatism may be associated with Seckel syndrome.

PURPOSE: To report a case of optic tract compression caused by a dolichoectatic basilar artery. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: A 74-year-old man with progressive loss of vision over 13 years and no other neurologic signs or symptoms was found to have bilateral optic nerve head pallor and a left homonymous hemianopia. RESULTS: Magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed a severe dolichoectatic basilar artery compressing the right optic tract. CONCLUSION: Basilar artery dolichoectasia may rarely cause compression of the optic tract and progressive visual loss.
