Vitrectomy With tPA for Submacular Hemorrhage Following Domestic Abuse.

A 35-year-old woman presented with visual acuity of 20/400 due to submacular hemorrhage 24 hours after confirmed domestic abuse with blunt trauma to the head. Surgical intervention with pars plana vitrectomy, subretinal tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) injection, and fluid-air exchange yielded prompt resolution of the pathology, regaining functional vision of 20/40 and an ability to return to work within one week. .

Analyzing Relative Blood Flow Speeds in Choroidal Neovascularization Using Variable Interscan Time Analysis OCT Angiography.

Purpose: Longitudinally visualizing relative blood flow speeds within choroidal neovascularization (CNV) may provide valuable information regarding the evolution of CNV and the response to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors.

Design: Retrospective, longitudinal case series conducted at the New England Eye Center.

Participants: Patients with either treatment-naïve or previously treated CNV secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Diagnosing Choroidal Neovascularization in Asymptomatic Individuals Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noninvasive, rapid imaging technique that generates angiographic images without intravenous dye injections. Cross-sectional studies have described the presence of asymptomatic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This case report describes the OCT features on longitudinal follow-up of a patient who started with unilateral asymptomatic CNV and eventually developed symptomatic exudative AMD.
