Improvement in Cystoid Macular Edema Secondary to Systemic Bevacizumab in a Patient With Coats Plus Syndrome.

To report a pediatric case of Coats plus syndrome that initially presented resembling familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). A single case was analyzed. A pediatric patient was referred at 2 years of age to the retina clinic for exotropia and decreased visual acuity in the right eye and was found to have a dense vitreous hemorrhage.

A Literary Pediatric Retina Fellowship With Michael T. Trese, MD.

Michael T. Trese, MD (1946-2022), a vitreoretinal surgeon, made significant contributions to the field of retina. Although most known for his work in pediatric retina surgery, he was a pioneer in areas such as medical retina, translational research, and telemedicine.

The Incidence and Timing of Treatment-Requiring Retinopathy of Prematurity in Nanopremature and Micropremature Infants in the United States: A National Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.

Participants: This article includes 7293 infants (14 586 eyes) screened for ROP across 5 centers in the United States (Austin Retina Associates, Austin, TX; Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, FL; Beaumont Eye Institute, Royal Oak, MI; Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Boston, MA; and Stanford Byers Eye Institute, Stanford, CA).

Purpose: To analyze the incidence and timing of treatment requiring retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely small premature infants. We hypothesize that the smaller the infant by gestational age and birthweight, the higher their likelihood of requiring treatment for ROP.

Referable Macular Hemorrhage-A Clinically Meaningful Screening Target in Newborn Infants. Position Statement of the Association of Pediatric Retina Surgeons.

Universal newborn eye screening facilitates early diagnosis of ocular abnormalities and mitigates vision loss. "Referral warranted" eye disease is present at birth in about 5.5% of term infants, with "macular hemorrhage impinging on the fovea" representing about 50% of referral warranted disease.

80 Years of vision: preventing blindness from retinopathy of prematurity.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the leading yet preventable causes of childhood blindness worldwide. The purpose of this review is to provide a practical template for observational and treatment methods in order to reduce the overall incidence of any ROP and to improve both short-term and long-term outcomes once Type 1 ROP (treatable ROP) develops.

Telemedicine for Diabetic Retinopathy Screening in an Urban, Insured Population Using Fundus Cameras in a Primary Care Office Setting.

Background And Objective: This study examines the rate of adherence to recommended ophthalmology follow-up after primary care-based telemedicine diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective observational study of 5,764 insured diabetic patients undergoing telemedicine DR screening between May 2015 and April 2017 in an urban primary care setting. Patients underwent non-mydriatic fundus photography for telemedicine DR screening.

SPONTANEOUS CLOSURE OF A MACULAR HOLE RESULTING FROM YAG LASER CAPSULOTOMY IN A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

Purpose: To describe the novel finding of spontaneous resolution of a full-thickness macular hole resulting from YAG laser capsulotomy in a 13-year-old girl with previous history of retinal detachment repair and cataract surgery.

Methods: A 13-year-old girl who had developed a macular hole after YAG laser was noted to have spontaneous resolution of the macular hole at 2-week follow-up visit with concurrent increase in visual acuity. Institutional review board was not applicable for this case.

DYNAMIC RETINA VESSEL COLOR CHANGE DURING OCULAR COMPRESSION IN SEVERE LIPEMIA RETINALIS.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe dynamic color change in retinal vessels from white to coral pink due to externally applied ocular pressure in a 6-week-old infant with lipemia retinalis secondary to type 1b familial hyperlipoproteinemia.

Methods: Fundus images and fluorescein angiogram were taken with RetCam3 camera. Color photographs of pooled blood were taken during phlebotomy.

TAMOXIFEN RETINOPATHY DURING TREATMENT OF AN INOPERABLE DESMOID TUMOR.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical significance and rarity of tamoxifen retinopathy after a long-term tamoxifen treatment for an inoperable desmoid tumor.

Methods: Case report.

Results: Tamoxifen retinopathy is a condition rarely observed in clinical practice.

Incomplete Retinal Vascularization After Ranibizumab Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity.

A former 24-week-old premature infant was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab (Lucentis; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) in one eye and conventional laser in the other eye for aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography performed at 149 weeks of age showed persistent avascularity of the temporal peripheral retina in the ranibizumab-treated eye. This case report confirms the need for long-term follow-up of patients treated with ranibizumab monotherapy.

Late Presentation of Retinoblastoma in a Teen with Aicardi Syndrome.

Background/aims: Retinoblastoma (Rb) generally presents in children <8 years of age. Aicardi syndrome (AS) is a congenital, neurodevelopmental disorder that has been associated with various ophthalmic abnormalities, but no reports have related it to a delayed presentation of Rb. This report describes the late presentation of Rb in a teenage patient with AS and suggests modifications in ophthalmic screening to facilitate early detection.

BILATERAL OPTIC NERVE COLOBOMAS IN INFANT WITH TETRAPLOIDY.

Purpose: To describe the previously unreported ocular anomalies in the rare condition of tetraploidy.

Methods: This study is a retrospective case report of a 23-day-old male infant with tetraploidy. RetCam fundus photography and neuroimaging were performed.

INTRAVITREAL SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE INJECTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF VITREOMACULAR TRACTION SYNDROME.

Purpose: Vitreomacular traction (VMT) syndrome can cause symptomatic metamorphopsia and decreased visual acuity. Although it is typically treated with vitrectomy or intravitreal ocriplasmin injection, these procedures can be invasive and costly. The purpose of this retrospective, consecutive case series was to evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal expansile sulfur hexafluoride gas injection for the treatment of symptomatic VMT syndrome.
