Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare disorder in children
with variable presentation. We report a 7-year-old boy who
presented with bilateral retrobulbar optic neuritis and
responded very well to treatment. He was also positive for
aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibodies, which is part of an emerging
endophenotype within autoimmune neurological disorders
in childhood.

We report a rare case of central retinal vein occlusion
(CRVO) in pregnancy. There was dramatic deterioration of
vision in both eyes through pregnancy despite repeated
attempts of laser treatment and systemically controlled
diabetes. Significant improvement was noted postpartum.
Pregnancy is an aggravated factor of bilateral CRVO.
