Article Synopsis
  • - The study reports on four patients with benign intraretinal tumors, introducing a new condition called benign lobular inner nuclear layer proliferation, which differs from more serious conditions like retinoblastoma.
  • - The research involved various imaging techniques and genetic testing to characterize the tumors, which were found to be stable over time and presented distinct features such as being white and multifocal.
  • - Two of the patients also had accompanying congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), highlighting a potential connection between the two types of lesions.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical course of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) after developing endophthalmitis during their treatment with intravitreal injections.

Methods: Multicenter, retrospective series.

Results: From April 2013 to October 2018, 196,598 intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections were performed, with 75 cases of endophthalmitis (incidence 0.

Purpose: To report a case of bull's eye maculopathy associated with mutations in RDS/PRPH2 and ROM-1 genes.

Methods: We present a case report of a patient with a characteristic maculopathy and describe the multimodal retinal imaging findings including spectral domain optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence and full-field electrophysiology. The results of genetic testing are also reported.

Purpose: To study the use of ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWF FA) in the detection and management of retinal capillary hemangioblastomas in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease who underwent UWF FA using the Optos camera at a single center from June 2009 to May 2015. The clinical use of UWF FA was reviewed, and the number of hemangioblastomas identified on UWF FA was compared with ophthalmoscopy and a simulated seven standard field (7SF) FA montage.

Purpose: To report a case of maternally inherited diabetes and deafness complicated by branch retinal vein occlusion and cystoid macular edema.

Methods: Retrospective case report. Multimodal imaging including spectral domain optical coherence tomography, en face optical coherence tomography, and fundus autofluorescence was preformed, and the findings are presented.

Background/purpose: To report a case of congenital retinal macrovessel associated with cystoid macular edema and an ipsilateral intracranial venous malformation.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 58-year-old woman with decreased vision was found to have a congenital retinal venous macrovessel associated with cystoid macular edema because of tributary venous occlusion.

Purpose: To present the multimodal imaging findings of four patients with systemic amyloidosis, renal failure, and chorioretinopathy.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of four patients presenting to four institutions with evidence of amyloid induced chorioretinopathy. Fundus photography, autofluorescence, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography findings were studied and are presented.
