AIM: To report the treatment of macular oedema secondary to idiopathic retinitis, vasculitis, aneurysrns,and neuroretinitis (IRVAN) with intravitreal triamcinolone.METHODS: Case report.RESULTS: A patient diagnosed with IRVAN with visual loss secondary to macular oedema. The macular oedema and her visual acuity was improved dramatically with the administration of intravitreal triamcinolone.CONCLUSION: Previous reports recommend treatment of IRVAN with panretinal photocoagulation, vitrectomy,systemic and periocular steroids. Our case shows that intravitreal triamcinolone appears to be a safe and effective treatment for macular oedema and vasculitis secondary to IRVAN.

We illustrated a case of presumed spontaneously regressed retinoblastoma in a blind eye. The tumour remained stable, with no extraocular spreading, for 20 years. Associating signs included band keratopathy, leukocoria, dislocated lens, calcified retinal masses and tractional retinal detachment.

Congenital cataract is a major cause of preventable blindness in children. It can be either hereditary or non-hereditary. In this case series, we present three cases of congenital cataract with a strong family history. The grandparents and parents of these patients had cataract diagnosed in late childhood whilst the patients in this case series were diagnosed with congenital cataract earlier. There was no history of consanguineous marriage in any of the families. These cases show that, in the presence of a strong family history, a child will present with congenital cataract earlier in their life. Hence, babies from such families should be screened at birth and at regular intervals within the first year of life to enable early diagnosis and subsequent surgical intervention to reduce the incidence and burden of amblyopia.
