Purpose: To determine the postoperative en face OCT pattern of closure in idiopathic macular holes (MHs).
Design: Retrospective, multicentric, observational study.
Participants: Patients aged > 18 years with a diagnosis of idiopathic MH, with well documented en face OCT images.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze metabolic issues in patients taking topiramate and how these issues may change after stopping the drug.
- A review of medical records identified 93 patients; results showed that while on topiramate, patients had lower citrate levels and higher urinary pH, increasing their risk for calcium phosphate stones.
- After discontinuing topiramate, patients showed significant improvements in citrate excretion and normalization of pH, indicating that these metabolic disturbances can reverse once the medication is stopped.
Objective: Meningiomas that arise primarily within the cavernous sinus are often believed to be more indolent in their growth pattern. Despite this perceived growth pattern, disabling symptoms can arise even with small tumors. While research has been done on cavernous sinus meningiomas (CSMs) and their treatment, very little is known about their natural growth rates.
