Anophthalmos, microphthalmos, limbal dermoids, nervus of Ota, anterior lenticonus, buphthalmos, and congenital cataract are very common. Onset of cataract in young individuals was caused by abnormal aminoaciduria. Hereditary factors played a part in 59 percent of the cases who would have become blind if they were not treated. Consanguinity is a major factor in their pathogenesis. Avitaminosis A and systemic infections which are common here may be playing a significant role in their etiology.","PeriodicalId":76019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pediatric ophthalmology","volume":"14 6 1","pages":"382-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70103586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The amplitude of the spike and wave complex of photogenic epilepsy depends on the intensity of photic stimulation when this is investigated in the range from 2.5 X 10(3) ergs/cm2 sec to its 4.31 log units high. A spike prior to the slow wave appears as the stimulus intensity increases. The implicit time is shortened as the intensity increases. Prolongation of the stimulus duration makes the ascending phase of the slow wave steep, and an off-response appeared when stimuli of 100 msec or longer were applied. Clinically, a biphasic myoclonic convulsion of limbs is clearly observed in on- and off-phases when stimuli of 300 msec or longer are applied.
