Visual Outcomes Following Intravitreal Ranibizumab for Diabetic Macular Edema in a Pro Re Nata Protocol from Baseline: A Real-World Experience.

Purpose: To investigate long-term outcomes of pro re nata (PRN) treatment protocol of ranibizumab for diabetic macular edema (DME) adopted from the first month of therapy without 3 loading doses.

Design: Retrospective interventional study.

Methods: We analyzed 180 eyes of 144 patients treated with ranibizumab for DME with a minimum follow-up of 1 year during December 2013 to December 2017.

Combined external and endonasal approach to fronto-ethmoidal mucocele involving the orbit.

Purpose: To present a technique to improve the surgical treatment of frontal sinus mucocele and its recurrence.

Methods: Nine procedures performed on eight patients by a team of ENT and Ophthalmic orbital surgeons. Data collected included patient demographics, surgical details, pathological findings and complications.

Paediatric choroidal osteoma treated with ranibizumab.

An 11-year-old patient presented with blurred vision in both eyes resulting from bilateral choroidal osteoma. The patient was treated with a course of monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab for 3 months and this led to improvement of visual acuity. This effect was sustained without the need for further injections over a 2-year period of follow-up.

Atypical central serous retinopathy in a patient with latent tuberculosis.

A 32-year-old Afro-Caribbean male presented with a 4 month history of blurred vision and distortion in his right eye. Fundus examination showed multiple pigment epithelial detachments which progressed over 2 months of observation to a large serous detachment of the macula. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) showed multi-focal hyperfluorescence in the early phase which increased in the later stages.

Chemical-biological ocular injury from turkey bile.

A 43-year-old male who worked in the food processing industry presented with a painful, red eye following an accidental exposure to turkey bile. A large epithelial defect was noted which healed slowly over a week. The possible mechanism of injury is discussed.

Nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion in an adolescent patient with ulcerative colitis.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can present with extraintestinal manifestations occasionally involving the eye. Retinal vein occlusions are rarely seen and have never been reported in the pediatric population though vascular thrombosis can be associated with IBD. Here, we present a case of what we believe is the youngest reported patient with nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).
