Purpose/Relevance This workshop will discuss pediatric ophthalmology cases in which the diagnosis, findings, and / or treatment pose a clinical dilemma to even an experienced pediatric ophthalmologist. These cases may include rare diagnoses or more common diagnoses with unusual presentations and / or atypical courses. Discussion will include the experiences with similar cases of a panel of seasoned pediatric ophthalmologists, as well as audience participants, and consideration of alternative evaluation and treatment plans. Target Audience Pediatric ophthalmologists, orthoptists, vision scientists, and trainees. Current Practice Pediatric ophthalmologists are presented with a challenging variety of cases. Consultation with colleagues and review of the literature can provide insights into best practices. Best Practice If the diagnosis and / or treatment plan for a particular patient is in doubt, consultation with colleagues can help to provide patients with the best potential for good outcomes. Group presentation of cases is helpful, particularly with very rare pediatric ophthalmology problems. Advanced practitioners and audience members have valuable insights that can improve patient care. Expected Outcomes At the conclusion of the workshop the audience and the panel will have shared their experiences and strategies for the diagnosis and management of a few challenging non-strabismus pediatric ophthalmology cases. The practitioner in the audience is expected to gain new insights into the clinical reasoning behind each diagnosis and the purpose of any intervention. Format Each panelist will present one case and invite the other panelists to discuss their approaches to diagnosis and treatment. The audience will participate by asking questions or providing personal insights. Summary This workshop will be a case-based learning experience involving challenging non-strabismus pediatric ophthalmology cases discussed by experienced pediatric ophthalmologists. Panelists will present teaching points that are important for complicated and rare conditions, but also pearls that are relevant for less complex cases.
