Data on Military Medicine Described by D. Vulovic et al

2012 NOV 2 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Week -- Current study results on Military Medicine have been published. According to news reporting originating from Kragujevac, Serbia, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Coloboma is a Greek word, which describes the defect of all layers of the organ, and it can be congenital or as the result of an injury, operation, or some disease. Congenital upper eyelid coloboma is a rare anomaly, with the unknown incidence."

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research, "The size of the defect is different, but it always involves all layers of the eyelid. This malformation is more frequent at the upper eyelid, and unilaterally, at the junction of the medial two thirds."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Sometimes, it can also involve the eye, and may be a component of many syndromes (Goldenhar, Fraser, Manitoba, CHARGE, Cat eye)."

For more information on this research see: Congenital upper eyelid coloboma with ipsilateral eyebrow hypoplasia. Vojnosanitetski Pregled Military-medical and Pharmaceutical Review, 2012;69(9):809-11.
