Timing of initial probing and irrigation in congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction
TL;DR: Initial probing should be done prior to 13 months of age depending on the severity of symptoms and parent compliance with medical management, and the number and complexity of subsequent procedures appeared to increase along with the age at which the initial probing was performed.

TL;DR: It is shown that individuals with CFEOM1 harbor heterozygous missense mutations in a kinesin motor protein encoded by Kif21A, highlighting an important new role for KIF21A and its stalk in the formation of the oculomotor axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The surgical management of orbitofacial dermoids in the pediatric patient
TL;DR: A treatment algorithm was developed that gives the practitioner more precision in the management of orbital region dermoids that appeared to direct diagnostic workup and subsequent surgical intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of Silastic tubing removal after intubation for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
TL;DR: The data suggest that Silastic intubation is a successful means of treating congenital dacryostenosis and that one should consider leaving the silastic in place for 6 months when possible, especially in older age groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in Extraocular Muscle Number and Structure in Craniofacial Dysostosis
TL;DR: Five of 12 patients with craniofacial dysostosis who needed strabismus surgery had anomalies of extraocular muscle structure and number and the origin of these anomalies and their frequency are unknown.
