Blue light reflectance imaging in non-perfusion areas detection: insights from multimodal analysis.

Design: A retrospective, cross-sectional image analysis using a convenience sample.

Subjects: Five cases selected based on the availability of comprehensive imaging data.

Methods: This study involved a retrospective review of images from five cases, focusing on the use of retinal monochromatic blue light reflectance (BLR) imaging to detect non-perfusion areas.

Successful Closure of an Idiopathic Macular Hole With Topical Therapy After Failed Surgery.

To describe the successful closure of an idiopathic macular hole (MH) with topical therapy after surgery failed. A case report was evaluated and prospective literature review performed. After surgery to correct an MH in a 57-year-old female patient failed, topical therapy was initiated.

Telementoring versus face-to-face mentoring in the training of scleral fixation surgery of intraocular lenses.

Purpose: To assess telementoring as a complementary tool for surgical training of a scleral fixation technique.

Design: Randomized, controlled, two-arm, blinded clinical trial.

Methods: Using a 3D visualization system, 132 participants were randomized in order of enrollment into traditional face-to-face mentoring (n = 66) and telementoring (n = 66).

Use of surgical videos available on social media among retina surgeons: results of a vitreoretinal specialist survey.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess and interpret how vitreoretinal surgeons use surgical videos available on social media as complementary learning tools to improve, review, or update their abilities, considering their different levels of expertise.

Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, an online survey was sent to vitreoretinal specialists and fellows.

Results: This survey included 258 participants, of whom 53.

A patient with X-linked retinoschisis and exudative retinal detachment associated with a pathogenic hemizygous variant c.304c>T in .

Background: X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a rare retinal dystrophy due to pathogenic variants in the RS1 gene. The hallmark of the disease is a foveal spoke-wheel appearance. The purpose of this report is to expand the phenotypic spectrum of XLRS reporting a patient with atypical phenotype of XLRS associated with Coats-like phenotype.

Large inferior retinectomies for proliferative vitreoretinopathy in silicone oil-filled eyes.

Background: To describe the anatomical and functional outcomes and late complications in patients who developed inferior proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in silicone oil-filled eyes and who required reoperation with large inferior retinectomy.

Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective, interventional case series analysis. The study involved 18 individuals with tractional retinal re-detachment due to PVR development inferiorly in eyes who had undergone prior pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil as a tamponade.

Evaluation of quality and utility of YouTube vitreoretinal surgical videos.

Background: We evaluated the utility and quality of surgical videos posted on the main retinal YouTube channels by surgeons at different career stages and assessed how well the steps of the vitrectomy videos conformed to the parameters in the Casey Eye Institute Vitrectomy Indices Tool for Skills assessment (CEIVITS) scale.

Methods: Forty-five videos were included from nine retinal YouTube channels posted from 2011 to 2021. For each surgeon, 10 videos were randomized and the utility, quality, and educational content were assessed.

Pachychoroid disease spectrum: review article.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to do a comprehensive literature review about the current understandings of the pachychoroid disease spectrum, describing its multimodal imaging analysis, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, and current types of management.

Methods: This comprehensive literature review was performed based on a search on the PubMed database, of relevant pachychoroid published papers according to our current knowledge.

Discussion: The pachychoroid disease spectrum, according to some authors, includes the following: pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy (PPE), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV)/aneurysmal type 1 neovascularization (AT1), and more recently focal choroidal excavation (FCE) and peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS).

Prepapillary Arterial Loop Associated with Central Retinal Artery Occlusion: A Case Report.

Purpose: To report a case of central retinal artery (CRA) occlusion secondary to prepapillary loop in a 13-year-old girl.

Methods: A 13-year-old girl presented with a history of sudden visual loss in her left eye.

Results: Fundus examination confirmed thrombosis in a prepapillary arterial loop causing CRA occlusion and extensive retinal ischemia.

Serous Retinal Detachment Resolution following Trabeculectomy in a Patient with Sturge-Weber Syndrome.

Purpose: To report a case of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) complicated with uncontrolled glaucoma and serous retinal detachment (SRD) in the left eye that evolved with complete resolution after trabeculectomy.

Methods: We report the case of a 10-year-old boy with SWS complicated with uncontrolled glaucoma and SRD in the left eye. In primary evaluation, he presented with a left-sided nevus flammeus affecting upper eyelid and best corrected visual acuity of 20/50 on the affected eye.

Multimodal evaluation of hemorrhages within intraretinal cystoid spaces in a blood-fluid level presentation.

Introduction: We describe characteristic findings on multimodal evaluation and the features of hemorrhage within a foveal cystoid space in a patient presenting cystoid macular edema secondary to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO).

Case Description: We report a case of a 64-year-old diabetic male patient presenting gradual blurry vision in the left eye. Fundoscopic findings were suggestive of BRVO, such as hard exudates and mild venous engorgement superotemporally and diffuse macular intraretinal hemorrhages.
