  • - A Chinese patient was found to have both pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) and oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) due to specific genetic variants in the PANK2 and OCA2 genes, leading to vision issues and neurological symptoms.
  • - Genetic testing using next-generation sequencing confirmed the presence of homozygous missense variants in both PANK2 and OCA2, supporting the diagnoses of PKAN and OCA.
  • - The study highlights the importance of genetic analysis for diagnosing rare diseases, providing crucial information for patient management and counseling.

Endoscopy provides unique optical properties to circumvent anterior segment opacities and visualize difficult-to-access anatomical regions, including retroirideal, retrolental, ciliary body, and anterior retinal structures. We summarize the basic principles and utilization of endoscopic vitreoretinal surgery, along with recent technological advances in the field base on a structured literature search in Pubmed, Embase, and Google Scholar database up to February, 2020. Endoscopy has been used in the management of retinal detachment, ischemic retinopathies with neovascular glaucoma, severe ocular trauma, endophthalmitis, lens-related disorders in the posterior segment, pediatric vitreoretinal diseases, and implantation of retinal prostheses.
