Procedures: Our retrospective study included nine patients with ODP maculopathy, treated with either PPV (n = 5) or PPV with ILM peeling (n = 4). All participants, who had a mean long-term follow-up of 33.

Evolution of a juxtapapillary von Hippel-Lindau tumour examined by optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: The aim was to report the evolution of a case of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) juxtapapillary retinal capillary haemangioblastoma (RCH) by optical coherence tomography (OCT3).

Case Report: The progress of a 24-year-old man suffering from VHL disease with a juxtapapillary haemangioblastoma and a small peripheral lesion was followed for 26.4 months with fundus photographs and OCT of the optic nerve head using the optic nerve head rim volume, ranging from 1.

Restoration of the photoreceptor layer and improvement of visual acuity in successfully treated optic disc pit maculopathy: a long follow-up study by optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To investigate by optical coherence tomography (OCT) the evolution of the photoreceptor layer and its association with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in optic disc pit (ODP) maculopathy after successful surgical treatment.

Methods: Fourteen eyes of 14 patients were included in this study, and followed up from 36 to 95 months (mean 57.36 ± 18.

The photoreceptor layer as a prognostic factor for visual acuity in the secondary epiretinal membrane after retinal detachment surgery: imaging analysis by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To study the prognostic factors that influence best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) outcome in patients with secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM) after retinal detachment surgery.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Methods: Forty-two patients with ERM were divided into macula-on and macula-off groups based on the macular status before retinal detachment surgery and were studied using the same spectral-domain optical coherence tomography device.

Optical coherence tomography findings in a case of cone-rod dystrophy.

A patient with cone-rod dystrophy, who was examined thoroughly with biomicroscopy, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and electrophysiology, is presented. Although fluorescein angiography depicted only window-defect type of hyperfluorescence, optical coherence tomography disclosed detachment of the neurosensory retina, focal absence of the outer parts of the photoreceptors' layer in the fovea, and cystoid edema in the macula. To the authors' knowledge, these findings have not been described in cone-rod dystrophy so far.

Infliximab for diabetic macular edema refractory to laser photocoagulation: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, 32-week study.

Objective: Because many patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) do not respond to focal/grid laser photocoagulation, the only currently approved treatment, alternatives are needed. Based on encouraging preliminary findings, we aimed to assess efficacy and safety of the anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody infliximab in this condition.

Research Design And Methods: This was a single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study.

Spontaneous closure of lamellar macular holes studied by optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To document and study the spontaneous closure of lamellar macular holes (LMH) by optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: Two women with LMH, 62 and 71 years old, respectively, were followed up with fundoscopy, fundus photography and OCT.

Results: In both patients spontaneous closure of LMH was observed 11 and 21 months after baseline examination, respectively.

Comparison of optical coherence tomography and scanning laser polarimetry in glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and suspected glaucoma.

Background And Objective: To compare the performance of the newest generation optical coherence topography (OCT) and scanning laser polarimetry with variable corneal compensation (SLP-VCC) in eyes with glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and suspected glaucoma.

Patients And Methods: One eye each of 84 patients (30 with glaucoma, 26 with suspected glaucoma, and 28 with ocular hypertension) was included in the study. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was measured with both technologies and thickness parameters were compared in the three groups of eyes.

Cystoid macular oedema within 24 h after a single application of latanoprost.

Purpose: To describe a patient who developed cystoid macular oedema (CMO) within 24 h after a single application of Latanoprost.

Methods: Observational case report.

Results: A 77-year-old man who had a previous cataract operation with vitreous loss in his left eye developed CMO 8 h after instillation of one drop of latanoprost.

Parry-Romberg syndrome studied by optical coherence tomography.

A case of Parry-Romberg syndrome that was studied by fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) is described. OCT revealed the existence of retinal nerve fiber layer edema and abnormalities of the vitreoretinal interface. The presence of diffused retinal edema throughout the papillomacular area and the formation of thick retinal folds with intraretinal diffuse macular edema were also evident.

Evolution of a retinoma case in 21 years.

A 35-year-old man was observed during a 21-year period with fundus color photography, fluorescein angiography, and B-scan ultrasonography for a presumed retinoma detected in his left eye during routine ophthalmoscopy in 1982. The patient was a carrier of the 13q14 retinoblastoma gene. His retinal lesion remained stable during the follow-up period without signs of malignant transformation.

Optical coherence tomography appearance of "drusenoid" pigment epithelial detachment.

A case of bilateral "drusenoid" pigment epithelial detachment that was studied with fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography is described. Fundus fluorescein angiography depicted staining of the drusen without any sign of pooling of the dye, whereas optical coherence tomography displayed detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium. These findings remained unchanged during a 10-month period.
