Neuroretinitis connotes a descriptive clinical entity of optic disc oedema in association with macular exudates in a star configuration. Accordingly, it does not indicate a specific aetiology, although cat scratch disease caused by Bartonella henselae is the most common cause. Historically, the recognition of neuroretinitis dates to the early 20 century with the eventual understanding that the optic disc is the primary target of disease with secondary macular involvement.

- - The study investigated when uveitis occurs and its complications in patients with herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO), analyzing data from 869 individuals treated between 2006 and 2016 at the Auckland District Health Board.
- - About 47.6% of the patients developed uveitis, with a median diagnosis time of 10 days after the rash appeared, and over 17% were diagnosed within the first week.
- - Those with uveitis faced higher risks of severe eye complications and vision loss, but receiving antiviral treatment within 72 hours was linked to reduced rates of vision deterioration.
Article Synopsis
- - The text highlights the increasing availability of ophthalmic imaging datasets and open-source machine learning tools, enabling researchers to conduct deep-learning tasks independently.
- - It emphasizes the importance of selecting the right AI model based on specific ophthalmic problems, considering factors like accuracy, deployment capabilities, and adaptability to small datasets.
- - The article reviews current AI methods, evaluates their performance with various imaging modalities, and aims to enhance understanding of AI applications in ophthalmology.
Background: The patterns of optic atrophy due to retrograde transsynaptic degeneration (RTSD) have not been well characterized in children. This study aimed to characterize optic atrophy in pediatric patients with focal intracerebral lesions.
Methods: A retrospective review of children with optic atrophy and focal intracerebral lesions was conducted.
Aim: Hypovitaminosis A is a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness, especially in developing nations. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble essential micronutrient that serves vital functions in the visual system and in regulating bone resorption. We report on a series of four children with mixed nutritional and compressive optic neuropathy and provide a review of the literature.
