Multimodal imaging of white and dark without pressure fundus lesions.

Purpose: To describe multimodal imaging findings in patients with dark or white without pressure lesions of the fundus.

Methods: Retrospective observational case series of 10 patients with white or dark without pressure lesions. We analyzed multimodal imaging using spectral domain optical coherence tomography, color and near-infrared fundus photography, and fundus autofluorescence imaging to explore the findings associated with these lesions.

Helicobacter pylori as a risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy: Literature review.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a Gram-negative bacterium, is one of the most frequent causes of gastrointestinal infections worldwide. It has been associated as a pathogen for the human body with many systemic diseases, including different eye diseases.

Air as tamponade for retinal detachments.

Purpose: To determine whether air can be used as a reliable tamponade agent after pars plana vitrectomy in selected primary retinal detachment (RD).

Methods: Twelve eyes with fresh RD were included. Exclusion criteria were presence of fibrosis, fixed folds, proliferative vitreoretinopathy of grade C or greater, and giant retinal tears.

Outer retinal cysts in age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: To describe novel cystic structures ('outer retinal cysts' or ORC) found in the outer retina in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods: One hundred and seventy-three consecutive eyes of 88 AMD patients were prospectively examined with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The prevalence of ORCs was searched, and their sizes and shapes were determined.

23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy: visual outcomes and complications.

Purpose: To report results and complications of 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless pars plana vitrectomy for a variety of vitreoretinal diseases.

Methods: A prospective consecutive case series study was performed in 66 eyes of 66 patients. Indications for surgery were epiretinal membrane (n = 20), rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (n = 19: 14 pseudophakic, 5 phakic), macular hole (n = 16), vitreous hemorrhage (n = 5), cyclodialysis (n = 1), intraocular lens luxation (n = 1), asteroid hyalosis (n = 1), congenital retinoschisis (n = 1), and endophtalmitis (n = 2).

Cytomegalovirus retinitis associated with Good's syndrome.

Purpose: To report a case of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis associated with Good's syndrome.

Methods: A 57-year-old man presented to our ophthalmology clinic with complaints of visual loss in the left eye for 2 weeks. His medical anamnesis revealed myasthenia gravis, thymoma resection, multiple chest infections, and Campylobacter septicemia.
