Abstract
Gardner Syndrome is a phenotypic variant of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) characterized by extracolonic manifestations including pigmented ocular fundus lesions with malignant polyps in the large intestine. We present the case of a 41-year-old female with FAP, who presented with numerous congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium ocular lesions. We describe the case report along with a literature review of ocular findings in Gardner syndrome.

Congenital cavitary optic disc anomaly in Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome
Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome (WHS, OMIM 194190) is a rare congenital malformation syndrome caused by a partial deletion of the short arm (p) of chromosome 4. It is characterized by “Greek warrior helmet” facies, central nervous system disorders including seizures and structural defects, and intrauterine growth restriction, among numerous other systemic anomalies.
Wake up to the benefits of timely management of sleep problems in toddlers with Williams Syndrome
This commentary relates to Gwilliam, Joyce, and Dimitriou and their longitudinal work on sleep problems in toddlers with Williams syndrome (WS). WS is a rare and sporadic genetic disorder caused by a small deletion of genes on chromosome 7. Individuals with WS experience a range of medical and developmental difficulties and sleep disturbances are highly prevalent. The aim, here, is to address why early identification of sleep problems could be beneficial for children with WS and their families.
Commentary: Penis-image perception and OCD in Koro and Dhat syndrome
Continuing our report on the coexistence of two culture-bound syndromes, namely Koro and Dhat syndrome coexisting with OCD, we will discuss some relevant psychosexual issues in this context. It is pretty interesting to note that how two culture-bound syndromes facilitate sexual symptom formation among vulnerable individuals. India has now become a Koro-prone country, especially after six large-scale epidemics since 1982. Penile shrinking or retraction or contraction is now a potential social cognitive construct in different forms of actual or alleged complaints of sexual dysfunctions.
A review of waveform and paradigm variations of spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of complex regional pain syndrome
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a challenging condition marked by intense and often long-lasting pain, typically occurring in a limb following an injury. Traditional treatment approaches might not always offer significant pain relief, prompting the investigation of advanced treatments like Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS).
Intraocular pressure changes after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy: a retrospective cohort study from ECWA Eye Hospital, Nigeria
Purpose: Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is an effective treatment for posterior capsule opacification (PCO) but may be associated with postoperative increases in intraocular pressure (IOP), particularly in high-risk patients. This study evaluated the incidence of IOP elevation following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, the management strategies used, and clinical outcomes at a tertiary eye hospital in Nigeria. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 162 patients aged 40–80 years who underwent Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for PCO and completed at least one year of follow-up. Data on demographic characteristics, IOP measurements, visual acuity outcomes, and post-procedure management were extracted from medical records. Changes in IOP and visual acuity before and after the procedure were analyzed, and outcomes were compared between patients with and without pre-existing glaucoma.
