Purpose: To describe the diagnostic and treatment challenges of a case of presumed acquired macula-involving toxoplasmosis retinochoroiditis.

Methods: Case report of a woman with congenital long QT syndrome presenting with retinochoroiditis after undergoing a cardiac procedure. Laboratory analysis, ocular fluid biopsy, and multimodal imaging were obtained.

The objective of this study is to describe the clinical utility and morphologic characteristics of peripheral vitreoretinal interface abnormalities with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). A prospective imaging analysis of 43 patients with peripheral vitreoretinal interface abnormalities seen on binocular indirect examination with scleral indentation was done. SD-OCT was evaluated for image quality and structural findings.

A novel case description of an isolated unilateral submacular choroidal varix simulating chorioretinal folds and inducing metamorphopsia in a 74-year-old phakic Caucasian man. Posterior segment examination revealed focal choroidal elevations corresponding to a deep, large choroidal vessel in the inferotemporal subparafoveal region. Fundus photography demonstrated a pigment epithelial detachment-like elevation inferior to the fovea, continuous with the course of a large choroidal vessel.

Background: To compare inner retinal layer (IRL) thickness measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and contrast sensitivity (CS) in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and in healthy control (HC) subjects.

Methods: Consecutive patients with and without PD were prospectively analyzed using SD-OCT and Pelli-Robson CS testing. SD-OCT IRL (ganglion-cell complex) thickness, consisting of the nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, and inner plexiform layer, was segmented using an RTVue Model-RT100 with an EMM5 scan parameter covering a 5.
