We characterize 2 cases with sensorineural hearing loss and ophthalmologic findings. The clinicopathologic features revealed diagnosis of Susac's syndrome, a rare microangiopathy with cochlea, retinal, and brain affection. Diagnosis may be difficult because most specialists are not familiar with this angiopathy.

Methods: Before and after surgery a complete clinical examination and OCT were performed in 38 patients. Best corrected postoperative visual acuity (VA) was correlated to the following OCT parameters: preoperative base and minimum diameter of the hole, hole height, hole form factor, retinal thickness and nerve-fibre layer measurements postoperatively, postoperative foveal contour, appearance of retinal pigment epithelium layer and photoreceptor layer.
Purpose: To evaluate the protein osteopontin (OPN) as a potential new marker for screening and detection of metastatic uveal melanoma.
Design: Prospective, clinical study.
Methods: Twenty-eight plasma samples of 27 patients with uveal melanoma were analyzed, and the OPN plasma levels were quantified.
Background: In the present study we evaluated the functional success after macular hole surgery in correlation to visual quality of life and looked for predictive factors determining surgical success.
Methods: Fifty-nine patients that underwent pars plana vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole were included. Follow-up visits were performed in regular intervals after surgery and included a clinical examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and measurement of visual acuity.
