Long-term evolution of Valsalva retinopathy: a case series.

Introduction: Valsalva retinopathy may occur as a sudden, dramatic loss of central vision due to the premacular location of the haemorrhage. It has been described in different clinical settings, and there are several options for its treatment.

Case Presentations: We present the cases of six patients with sudden visual acuity loss caused by Valsalva retinopathy, treated in our hospital in the last ten years.

Long-term evolution of idiopathic lamellar macular holes and macular pseudoholes.

Objective: To analyze the natural evolution of idiopathic lamellar macular holes (LMH) and macular pseudoholes (MPH) in the long term, based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) configuration and on best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) evolution.

Design: A prospective, longitudinal study.

Participants: We prospectively analyzed 108 eyes (67 left eyes and 41 right eyes) of 99 patients (55 female and 44 male) whose eyes had been diagnosed as having an MPH or an LMH on OCT examination.
