OBJECTIVE: To describe the incidence, ocular findings, and systemic associations of coloboma in a population-based cohort of children. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of pediatric (aged <19 years) patients diagnosed as having ocular coloboma from January 1, 1968, through December 31, 2007, as residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota. RESULTS: Thirty-three children were newly diagnosed as having ocular coloboma (annual incidence, 2.4 per 100,000 residents <19 years old; prevalence, 1 in 2077 live births). Median patient age at diagnosis was 3.9 months (range, 2 days to 18.4 years), and 22 patients (67%) had unilateral involvement. Twelve patients (36%) had involvement of the anterior segment only, 13 (39%) of the posterior segment only, and 8 (24%) of both. During median ophthalmologic follow-up of 9.2 years (range, 13 days to 35.9 years), 19 patients (58%) had other ocular disorders, including amblyopia in 11 (33%) and strabismus in 10 (30%). During median medical follow-up of 16.8 years, 22 patients (67%) were diagnosed as having a nonocular disorder, including abnormal development in 12 (36%) and CHARGE (coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, retarded growth and development, genital abnormalities, and ear anomalies) syndrome in 4 (12%). CONCLUSIONS: Ocular coloboma occurred in 1 in 2077 live births. More than half of the patients were diagnosed as having an ocular disorder other than coloboma, including strabismus and amblyopia in approximately one-third. Two-thirds of patients were diagnosed as having a nonocular disorder, including CHARGE syndrome in 1 in 8 patients.

External iliac artery endofibrosis describes an intimal subendothelial fibrosis leading to wall thickening and stenosis that has been described in high-performance athletes. There are anatomical, mechanical, and probably metabolic factors that may contribute to this pathology. Ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement with exercise testing, duplex ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) angiogram, and ultimately arteriography help to make the diagnosis. Management can be conservative, but most cases require surgical intervention. External iliac vein stenosis and thrombosis in cyclists has rarely been described in the literature. We report a case of extensive left lower limb deep venous thrombosis (DVT) including the external iliac vein diagnosed in a 57-year-old athletic cyclist with a history of external iliac artery thrombosis.
