Objective: To investigate the frequency and clinical features of intraocular paraneoplastic sarcoid-like reaction (SLR) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Methods: Retrospective review of patients with CLL from January 1, 1980, to December 31, 2020. Eye examinations were searched for 22 keywords suggestive of SLR, and charts were manually reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the effects of preoperative bilateral eye patching (BEP) on subretinal fluid and vision in patients with acute primary retinal detachments (RRDs).
- A comparison was made between patients who underwent BEP (separated by compliance levels) and a control group who declined BEP, with assessments made right before surgery and after a minimum follow-up of three months.
- Results showed that higher compliance with BEP significantly reduced subretinal fluid and improved visual outcomes, especially in patients with mac-off RRDs, indicating that BEP is beneficial for stabilizing and potentially enhancing vision before surgery.
Purpose: To describe ocular involvement in subjects with Whipple's disease (WD).
Methods: Retrospective review of documented WD cases seen at Mayo Clinic between 1980 and 2021 with ocular involvement.
Results: Of 217 patients with WD, 30 had eye exams and four (two female, median age 58.
Purpose: To report outcomes of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with new-onset visual flashes and/or floaters following implementation of a formalized triage protocol allowing eligible patients to be discharged for prompt outpatient ophthalmic examination.
Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.
Methods: Patient characteristics, protocol eligibility, and clinical outcomes were recorded for adult patients triaged within a formal "flashes and floaters" protocol at a single academic ED.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe an exceedingly rare presentation of secondary vitreoretinal involvement by the uncommon entity "indolent T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the gastrointestinal tract" and illustrate the utility of fluorescence in situ hybridization for diagnosis.
Methods: This is a case report.
Results: A 57-year-old woman with presumed iritis on chronic topical prednisolone acetate presented with increased vitreous opacities in the right eye.
Purpose: To better understand the history and epidemiology of infections of the eye and adnexa, and their relationship to cat scratch disease (CSD). We also assess infection as a public health threat.
Methods: We reviewed the available literature concerning infections of the eye and CSD, and attempted calculation of the incidence and prevalence of both eye infections and CSD from the database of the Rochester Epidemiology Project.
