Seven cases are reported, believed to be the first in the literature, in which iris nodules are verified in the complete spectrum of essential iris atrophies. This feature appears late in the course of the disease as small yellow nodules that progressively increase in number and gradually become
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of an artificial iris implant on the remnant iris.
METHODS
Interventional case series METHODS: Setting: single-centre PATIENT POPULATION: 42 consecutive patients OBSERVATION PROCEDURES: Morphological evaluation over 24±14 months MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Remnant
Overwhelming immune reaction resulting in granulomatous inflammation after infection with opportunistic pathogens has been termed immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). IRIS has mainly been described in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, IRIS is not restricted to
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy and safety of surgical implantation of prosthetic iris devices in patients with anatomic or functional iris deficiencies.

The case is presented of a 32 year-old male who arrived with acute bilateral symptoms with blurred vision, red eye, severe photophobia and severe ocular pain after suffering from a flu-like syndrome. The patient presented with a clinical picture of bilateral involvement characterised by pupils in
Helminthic infection and HIV have been reported to coexist, particularly in sub-Saharan African patients living with HIV. Strongyloidiasis is one of the most common helminths, usually leading to cutaneous and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. In the immunocompromised host, this infection can lead to
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation in HIV-infected patients leads to recovery of CD4+T cell numbers and restoration of protective immune responses against a wide variety of pathogens, resulting in reduction in the frequency of opportunistic infections and prolonged survival. However, in a
The immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome is a heterogeneous collection of pathological manifestations attributed to an excessive and deregulated immune response to various infectious and non-infectious pathogens consecutive to the modification of immune status. Mycobacteria and mycoses in the
OBJECTIVE
To describe a series of patients with bilateral acute iris transillumination, pigment dispersion, and sphincter paralysis.
METHODS
We reviewed the medical records and clinical photographs of 26 patients seen at 5 centers in Turkey and Belgium between March 16, 2006, and July 6, 2010.
OBJECTIVE
Posttraumatic partial or total iris defects often cause significant debilitating glare, photophobia, decreased vision and cosmetic problems. Currently, the best cosmetic results can be obtained with a customized silicone iris prosthesis. However, little is known about the functional
