Subthreshold Micropulse Laser Acute Exudative Maculopathy in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

Photodynamic acute exudative maculopathy is a transient increase in subretinal fluid (SRF) within the first days after treatment in different chorioretinal diseases and tumors. Recently, this entity has attracted much attention. However, no cases of acute exudative maculopathy have been described after subthreshold laser (STL).

Comment on Torrellas et al. Effectiveness, Safety and Choroidal Changes of a Fovea-Sparing Technique for the Treatment of Chronic Central Serous Chorioretinopathy with Yellow Subthreshold Laser. 2023, , 1127.

Recently, we read with great interest the article by Torrellas et al. [..

TWO-YEAR CLINICAL OUTCOMES AFTER PHOTODYNAMIC ACUTE EXUDATIVE MACULOPATHY IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC CENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHY.

Purpose: To analyze the 2-year clinical outcomes after photodynamic therapy-induced acute exudative maculopathy (PAEM) in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

Methods: Prospective observational study that included 64 eyes of 64 patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy who received half-fluence photodynamic therapy and had a 2-year follow-up. Patients were classified into two groups based on whether they had had PAEM at 3 days after treatment (PAEM+, n = 22; ≥50 µ m) increase in subretinal fluid or not (PAEM-, n = 42).

Five-year results of atropine 0.01% efficacy in the myopia control in a European population.

Aims: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 0.01% atropine eye-drops in controlling myopia progression over 5 years.

Methods: Experimental, analytical, prospective, randomised and longitudinal study, in 361 right eyes from 361 children randomised into the control group (177 eyes without treatment) and treatment group (184 eyes with 0.

Intervortex Venous Anastomosis in the Macula in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Imaged by En Face Optical Coherence Tomography.

Purpose: To assess the presence of macular intervortex venous anastomosis in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) patients using en face optical coherence tomography (EF-OCT).

Methods: A cross-sectional study where EF-OCT 6 × 6 and 12 × 12 mm macular scans of patients with unilateral chronic CSCR were evaluated for anastomosis between vortex vein systems in the central macula. The presence of prominent anastomoses was defined as a connection with a diameter ≥150 µm between the inferotemporal and superotemporal vortex vein systems which crossed the temporal raphe.

Sudden Consecutive Bilateral Amaurosis Secondary to Central Retinal Artery Occlusion After Kidney Transplantation.

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a medical emergency, considered a stroke equivalent by the American Heart Association. There are a few reported cases of bilateral CRAO, most of them occurring in the context of a systemic predisposing condition. We present a case of bilateral CRAO following kidney transplantation.

Fuji sign: Prevalence and predictive power to photodynamic therapy in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of Fuji sign in central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) patients and its predictive power of good response to photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Methods: Retrospective study, including 135 eyes of 130 patients diagnosed with cCSC treated with PDT between 2017 and 2021. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images from these patients were compiled and analyzed.

Fully automatic segmentation and monitoring of choriocapillaris flow voids in OCTA images.

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive ophthalmic imaging modality that is widely used in clinical practice. Recent technological advances in OCTA allow imaging of blood flow deeper than the retinal layers, at the level of the choriocapillaris (CC), where a granular image is obtained showing a pattern of bright areas, representing blood flow, and a pattern of small dark regions, called flow voids (FVs). Several clinical studies have reported a close correlation between abnormal FVs distribution and multiple diseases, so quantifying changes in FVs distribution in CC has become an area of interest for many clinicians.

Repeatability of choriocapillaris flow voids by optical coherence tomography angiography in central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To assess the repeatability of flow signal voids (FSV) measurements of the choriocapillaris (CC) and choroid (CH) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) by Swept-Source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).

Methods: Cross-sectional study including 104 eyes of 52 patients with unilateral CSCR. Two consecutive macular 6x6 mm SS-OCTA scans (Plex Elite 9000; Zeiss, Dublin, CA) were obtained from the affected eyes with persistent subretinal fluid (SRF) (CSCR group) and the fellow unaffected eyes (control group).

Utility of an additional photodynamic therapy session after multiple failed PDT treatments in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of an additional photodynamic therapy (PDT) in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSCR) patients who have two or more previous failed PDTs.

Methods: Ten eyes of 10 patients with cCSCR who had received two or more PDTs without complete resolution of the subretinal fluid (SRF) or with early recurrence (before 3 months) were included. An additional half-fluence PDT was performed.

Early changes in choriocapillaris flow voids as an efficacy biomarker of photodynamic therapy in central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To assess the early changes produced in the choriocapillaris (CC) and choroidal vasculature using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) in patients with persistent central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) as predictors of the efficacy after photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Methods: Prospective observational study in 52 eyes of 52 patients with persistent subretinal fluid (SRF). SS-OCTA scans of the 6 × 6 mm macular region were assessed before; 2-3 days, one month and three months after half-fluence PDT.

ACUTE EXUDATIVE MACULOPATHY AND BACILLARY LAYER DETACHMENT IN PATIENTS WITH CENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHY AFTER PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY.

Purpose: To describe the incidence and characteristics of photodynamic therapy-induced acute exudative maculopathy (PAEM) and bacillary layer detachment in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy.

Methods: This was a prospective observational case series including 92 eyes of 75 patients who underwent photodynamic therapy. Best-corrected visual acuity, optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography were performed before, 3 days, 1 month, and 3 months after half-fluence photodynamic therapy.

Assessment of the anterior scleral thickness in central serous chorioretinopathy patients by optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To assess the anterior scleral thickness (AST) and describe the presence of a visible supraciliary space (SCS) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) patients by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Study Design: Cross-sectional comparative study.

Material And Methods: Three groups were studied: 1) 64 eyes of 54 patients with CSC with persistent subretinal fluid (SRF); 2) 42 fellow eyes of CSC patients without SRF; 3) 65 eyes of 65 controls matched by age, sex and axial length (AL).

Optical coherence tomography angiography of choroidal nodules in neurofibromatosis type-1: A case series.

Purpose: To describe optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in the retina and choroid of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).

Methods: We describe a series of four patients diagnosed with NF1 and choroidal nodules who underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation including a retinal multimodal imaging study based on retinography, near-infrared reflectance imaging (NIR), enhanced depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCTA.

Results: Patients were three women and one man aged 36-47 years.
