Gonioscopy in primary angle closure glaucoma

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2002

Heredity in primary open-angle glaucoma

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000
The past years have seen considerable progress in the characterization of hereditary factors in primary open-angle glaucoma. Epidemiologic studies strengthened our knowledge of the hereditary factors in this multifactorial disease. Several loci in the human genome have been described, which segregate with different glaucoma phenotypes. Mutations of the

Isolated primary craniopharyngioma in the cerebellopontine angle

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2012
Between January 2000 and January 2011, we diagnosed three patients with isolated craniopharyngioma in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Brain MRI revealed cystic lesions with various imaging characteristics, including hypointensity on T1-weighted (T1W) images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted (T2W) images.
