Systemic lupus erythematosus purtscher like retinopathy: Optical coherence tomography angiography assessment implications.

Purpose: to underline the importance of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in the diagnosis, assessment of final visual outcome and better understanding of the Purtscher like retinopathy, as well as to emphasize on performing an ophthalmologic evaluation in all patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, as eye involvement is closely related with disease activity.

Methods: case report. Ophthalmologic multimodal imaging assessment of a patient short after experiencing a systemic lupus erythematosus severe outset.

Use of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF-Endoret®) fibrin membrane to cover corneal dellen.

Corneal dellen appeared as a complication after perilimbal conjunctival papilloma dissection in a six-year-old patient. Our purpose was to describe the use of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) fibrin membrane in covering the corneal defect after conventional medical treatment failure. PRGF fibrin membrane is an interesting therapeutical option to consider not only in adult patients, but also in children.

Risk of Posterior Capsular Rupture during Phacoemulsification in Patients with the History of Anti-VEGF Intravitreal Injections: Results from the Pan-American Collaborative Retina Study (PACORES) Group.

Purpose: To assess the risk for capsular rupture during routine phacoemulsification in patients with a history of anti-VEGF injections and other possible risk modifiers such as treatment patterns, type of anti-VEGF agent, and experience of the surgeon, among others.

Methods: This study reviewed the medical records of 11,129 patients from 7 different hospitals in 5 countries. The study included 939 patients that underwent routine phacoemulsification and had a history of anti-VEGF therapy.

Paraneoplastic Focal Outer Retinitis and Optic Neuropathy in a Patient with Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Anti-CRMP5, Anti-HU and Anti-Amphiphysin Antibodies.

Our aim is to describe clinical and optical coherence tomographic features of acute paraneoplastic focal outer retinitis associated with optic neuropathy in a patient diagnosed with small cell lung carcinoma. Bilateral focal outer retinitis, bilateral optic disc oedema and vitritis were identified in a patient with progressive bilateral visual loss and ataxia. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) revealed various extents of granular hyperreflectivity and atrophy of the macular outer retinal layers.

Case Report: Evaluating Intraocular Foreign Bodies After Corneal Perforation Using Swept Source Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

Significance: Use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) is reported, exploring its advantages over other examination techniques.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report a case in which anterior segment OCT was used to evaluate the presence of intraocular bodies after corneal perforation.

Case Report: A 33-year-old man was referred to our ophthalmology department after traumatic ocular injury.

Optical Coherence Tomography Characterization of Macular Changes Secondary to Arteriovenous Fistula.

Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are abnormal shunts between the arterial and venous vascular systems. These usually produce ocular pain, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), and diplopia. Less frequently, they may cause retinal changes with visual impairment.

INTRAVITREAL ANTI-VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR INJECTIONS FOR EXUDATIVE RETINAL ARTERIAL MACROANEURYSMS.

Purpose: There is no established therapy for exudative-hemorrhagic complications in primary retinal arteriolar macroaneurysm (RAM).

Methods: Retrospective multicenter interventional study of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor in symptomatic RAMs. Central macular thickness in μm and best-corrected visual acuity in logMar were correlated with the RAM size and distance to the macula.
