Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), is classified as arteritic (giant cell arteritis [GCA]) or nonarteritic AION (NAION). Varicella zoster virus (VZV) vasculopathy causes symptoms and signs of AION.1–4 Because VZV is present in temporal arteries (TAs) of most patients with GCA1,5 and ischemic optic nerve and retinal pathologies,2,3 we examined GCA-negative TAs from seven AION patients for VZV.

Melanin, hemoglobin, and carotenoids are the dominant influences in the color of human skin.1 Yellowish discoloration of the eyelid skin is commonly a result of lipid-laden histiocytes in the dermis (xanthoma, xanthelasma), or cysts of the cutaneous adnexa. A distinct entity labeled “orange palpebral spots” has recently been described in the dermatologic literature.2 We have encountered 3 patients with a similar finding and suggest an expansion of the label to “yellow-orange palpebral spots” based on the coloration observed.

Normally, postnatal development of the human retina involves centrifugal displacement of the inner retinal layers (IRLs) from the fovea, centripetal migration of the cone photoreceptors into the fovea, and elongation of the photoreceptors with age.1,2 It is not clear whether retinal development in infants and young children with achromatopsia (ACHM) occurs in a similar way and whether any retinal changes that occur are progressive in early childhood.
