Because serious nosocomial diseases can be transmitted by needlestick injuries, a retrospective review of needlestick injuries was conducted for a period of 2.5 years at a major university teaching hospital. The objective was to determine the needlestick injury rate among employees of the Department of Ophthalmology versus the other departments. Ophthalmologists had the highest incidence per person of needle injuries among physicians. Retina and strabismus surgeons were at higher risk than anterior segment surgeons.

A 2-year-old healthy white boy had a vitreous hemorrhage in the left eye but no history or external signs of trauma. Computed tomographic and ultrasonographic examinations were not diagnostic. A pars plana vitrectomy performed when the patient was 2 1/2 years old revealed a posterior pole lesion diagnosed clinically as a combined retinal-retina pigment epithelial hamartoma. Such lesions may be symptomatic because of decreased vision, macular puckering, and strabismus; vitreous hemorrhage has not previously been reported as the presenting clinical sign or the predominant cause for reduced vision.

Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by progressive hemifacial atrophy. Ophthalmic findings are characterized by enophthalmos, strabismus, nerve palsies, anisometropia, glaucoma, and angle abnormalities. Vision loss has also been reported due to retinal changes such as venous dilatation, disc edema, retinal edema, and retinal folds. The authors describe a case of Parry-Romberg syndrome with retinal alterations but a normal macula on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

A 2-year-old child was referred to the authors' pediatric retina service for bilateral retinal folds, strabismus, and psychomotor retardation, as well as marked thinning of the corpus callosum. Family history was unremarkable and genetic testing revealed a previously undescribed mutation in the LRP5 gene. Widefield fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography were used to image the retinal fundus. The authors' case suggests a correlation between LRP5 and neurological development, since its variants may lead to a syndromic condition characterized by FEVR-like abnormalities along with neurodevelopmental delay and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum.
