BACKGROUND
Partial tetrasomy is mainly described as a cytogenetically visible rearrangement due to a supernumerary chromosome (i(12p), i(18p), inv dup(15)). Except for chromosome 15q11q13, intrachromosomal triplications are rare and so far not associated with a recognisable phenotype.

This
OBJECTIVE
The association between floppy eyelid syndrome and keratoconus (KCN) has been well established, but the converse relationship has not yet been examined and is the objective of this study. The study also investigates the prevalence of obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in KCN
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of occurrence of obesity and high risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a keratoconus population with that of a control group.
METHODS
This prospective, case-controlled multicenter study was performed on patients with
Floppy eyelid syndrome is a recently described entity, which characteristically involves overweight individuals. The characteristic findings are an upper lid that may be readily everted, tarsal laxity, and diffuse papillary conjunctival changes. The cause of floppy eyelid syndrome is believed to be
Keratoconus has been associated with various ocular and systemic disorders. It has been linked, in a few cases, with floppy eyelid syndrome (a disorder characterized by a soft rubbery upper tarsus, papillary conjunctivitis and obesity). A 40-year-old male presented with a complaint of gradually
OBJECTIVE
To examine the validity of the observations made by specialist corneal surgeons that there seems to be an absence or loss of older patients with keratoconus (KC).
METHODS
Using a PubMed search and key words such as KC, epidemiology, mortality, mitral valve prolapse, atopy, and asthma, the
To report a case of regression of keratoconus by corneal topography after gastric sleeve surgery.Case report.A patient with a history of bilateral progressive keratoconus was observed before and after bariatric surgery for Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasing in prevalence due to rising obesity. While OSA is a disorder primarily of the upper airway during sleep, its pathophysiological impact on other body systems is increasingly recognised. There has been interest in the prevalence of OSA in different
OBJECTIVE
To better define the wide spectrum of lax eyelid conditions, especially the subtype referred to as floppy eyelid syndrome, and to clarify its relationship with associated ophthalmic findings.
METHODS
A case-based retrospective review of all patients seen at UNC Department of Ophthalmology
We examined 18 cases of floppy eyelid syndrome, first reported in the Orient, in patients ranging in age from 11 to 55 years (mean 24 years); 16 were men and two were women. In contrast to previous reports in which almost all patients were obese men, only three of our patients were mildly obese. The
We describe a brother and sister with craniofacial dysmorphism, short stature, relative obesity, sensorineural deafness, multiple pigmented naevi and severe mental retardation. One sibling had keratoconus and the other had an iris coloboma. Dysmorphic features included brachycephaly, hypotelorism,
The corneal findings in 60 patients with floppy eyelid syndrome seen at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute over a 10-year period were determined by review of their medical records. Punctate epithelial keratopathy (45%), and both clinical (10%) and subclinical keratoconus were the most commonly
Purpose: To report a case of acute corneal endothelial graft rejection with concurrent onset of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder characterized by breathing cessation caused by obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. It is associated with multiorgan comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmias, diabetes mellitus, and stroke. Patients with OSA have an
