A review of the inflammatory chorioretinopathies: the white dot syndromes.

The white dot syndromes are a group of inflammatory chorioretinopathies of unknown etiology which have in common a unique and characteristic appearance of multiple yellow-white lesions affecting multiple layers of the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), choriocapillaris, and the choroid. They also have overlapping clinical features. We discuss acute retinal pigment epitheliopathy, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis, acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, birdshot chorioretinopathy, and serpiginous choroidopathy.

Acute zonal occult outer retinopathy: vision loss in an active duty soldier.

Objective. To describe a case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) in an active duty patient. Methods.

Pediatric PRK (PhotoRefractive Keratectomy) with Mitomycin C (MCC) for Persistent Anisometropic Amblyopia. A Case Report.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) with Mitomycin C (MMC) for the treatment of severe pediatric anisometropia and amblyopia resistant to more conservative treatment modalities.

Methods: A 3 year-old-child, who at 18 months old underwent unilateral diode laser treatment for threshold ROP, developed 11 diopters of anisometropic myopia and secondary dense amblyopia of the Right Eye. Only after all conservative treatment options failed was he treated with PRK and MMC.

Optic neuropathy and a reversible splenial lesion after gastric bypass: shared pathophysiology?

A 22-year-old female presented 2months after a laparascopic gastic bypass with 3weeks of progressive painless visual loss. Ophthalmologic exam revealed severely reduced visual acuity, central scotomas, and optic nerve edema bilaterally. She was noted to have a mild encephalopathy.
