Endoretinal biopsy outcomes in suspected vitreoretinal lymphoma after inconclusive vitreous cytology.

Objective: To review the clinical utility of endoretinal biopsies in diagnostically undefined cases of vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) with negative vitreous cytology.

Methods: Retrospective case series including all consecutive patients who underwent endoretinal biopsies in a tertiary care center, Hospital Clinic of Barcelona (Spain), between 2014 and 2020.

Results: A total of 5 patients were included in this study.

Microvascular and Structural Characterization of Birdshot Chorioretinitis in Active and Inactive Phases.

This study aimed to examine microvascular changes and identify predictors of short-term quiescence in active birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR). An observational, prospective, 12-month follow-up cohort study was conducted. BSCR eyes were clinically assessed at baseline, categorized as active or inactive, and reevaluated at 12 months.

Fight Retinal Blindness SPAIN. Report 3: clinical outcomes of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors in low vision eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. A national database study.

Objectives: To compare visual outcomes for low vision eyes (LVE) (<35 letters LogMAR or <20/200 Snellen) versus non-low vision eyes (NLVE) (>35 letters LogMAR or >20/200 Snellen) at the time of the first injection in a clinical practice setting.

Methods: Subgroup analysis of a multicenter national database of treatment- naïve eyes neovascular age related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with anti-VEGF intravitreal injections divided into LVE and NLVE. Demographics, visual acuity (VA) at baseline and subsequent timepoints (12, 24, and 36 months), number of injections and visits data were collected using a validated web-based tool (Fight Retinal Blindness!).

Role of vitrectomy for syphilitic uveitis in a tertiary hospital in Spain.

Diagnosis and treatment of ocular syphilis can be challenging due to the wide spectrum of clinical presentations of this sexually transmitted disease. In some cases of syphilitic panuveitis, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) can be useful in management since it plays an important role in improving fundus examination allowing treatment of possible retinal associated lesions when vitreous inflammation is intense. We present 3 cases of patients with ocular syphilis that underwent a therapeutic PPV, vitreous sample was taken and analyzed in two of them.
