Strategies for managing strabismus from oculomotor nerve palsy
Addressing ocular misalignment secondary to partial and complete oculomotor nerve palsy presents a special challenge to the strabismus surgeon, particularly when treating patients with binocular diplopia. We review the reported surgical options and, through illustrative cases, provide our own perspective on managing this disorder. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)

Congenital ankyloblepharon in a newborn with an IRF6 mutation
We present the case of a boy born at 41 weeks ’ gestational age who was found to have multiple anatomic anomalies, including abnormalities of the oral cavity, eyelids, and digits. He had ankyloblepharon that was localized to the lateral portion of the palpebral fissure bilaterally. Genetic testing confirmed a mutation in the interferon regula tory factor 6 (IRF6) gene, a known etiology for a spectrum of rare disorders that includes eyelid abnormalities. We present a novel surgical technique for bedside ankyloblepharon repair and describe the relevant clinical features of this case. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)
