Five-Year Follow-Up of Repeated Intravitreal Bevacizumab for Macular Edema in a Pediatric Patient with Retinal Arteriovenous Malformation and Excellent Vision.

We report a case of a 9-year-old girl presenting with unilateral retinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with symptomatic macular edema. Over 5 years of follow-up includes optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus photographs, and fluorescein angiography at baseline and at follow-up. Systemic and neurologic workup was completed and negative for intracranial AVM.

Ocular syphilis on the rise: a 10-year analysis from 2010 to 2020.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the incidence of ocular syphilis as well as diagnostic parameters, comorbidities, and visual outcomes over a 10-year time period in West Virginia.

Methods: A retrospective chart review included 25 eyes of 17 patients with ocular syphilis between 2010 and 2020.

Results: The incidence of systemic syphilis at a large tertiary referral center has increased from 27 cases in 2010 to 105 cases in 2020.

Incidence of Epiretinal Membrane Formation After Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Giant Retinal Tear-Associated Retinal Detachment.

Objective: To report the incidence of postoperative epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation after primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for giant retinal tear associated retinal detachment (GRT-RD) repair as well as its clinical characteristics and visual outcomes at a level one trauma and tertiary referral academic center.

Patients And Methods: Patients with primary RD repair for GRT-RD at West Virginia University from September 2010 to July 2021 were identified using the ICD-10 codes (H33.031, H33.

MULTIPLE ORGAN DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME AND DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION CAUSING EXTENSIVE MULTIPLE AMALRIC TRIANGULAR CHOROIDAL INFARCTIONS.

Purpose: To present a case of extensive bilateral choroidal infarctions from multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Methods: A retrospective case report. The medical and imaging records, including fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and visual fields, were reviewed.

Clinical Characterization of Autosomal Dominant and Autosomal Recessive Mutation With a Report of Novel Mutation.

Background And Objective: This study aims to provide clinical characterization of mutation with a report of novel mutation.

Patients And Methods: This study is a retrospective case series of six patients from a single institution with multimodal imaging, electroretinography, and genetic testing.

Results: Six patients aged 12 to 47 years were identified.

Keratitis: Successful Treatment of Multidrug-Resistant Strain.

A 72-year-old male with history of monocular vision with complete vision loss in his right eye from previous retinal detachment presented with 20/200 vision in the left eye with a corneal ulcer. Culture was obtained, and the patient was started on fortified tobramycin, fortified vancomycin, and amphotericin. Despite the antibiotics, the patient did not significantly improve, after which another culture was obtained before the patient was taken to the surgery for cryotherapy and a partial conjunctival flap.

Clinical Course and Characteristics of Eyes with Recurrent Episodes of Endophthalmitis.

Purpose: Infectious endophthalmitis is a devastating, yet rare, complication after intraocular surgery, trauma, and systemic illness. Given its rare incidence, few patients would be expected to experience more than 1 episode of infectious endophthalmitis in their lifetime. We reviewed our patients who were diagnosed with and treated for at least 2 separate episodes of endophthalmitis.

Characterization of Epiretinal Proliferation in Full-Thickness Macular Holes and Effects on Surgical Outcomes.

Purpose: Epiretinal proliferation is a distinct clinical entity from epiretinal membrane that classically is associated with lamellar macular holes, but its prevalence and association with full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) have not been well described. We characterized macular hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (MHEP) and its effects on long-term surgical outcomes.

Design: Multicenter, interventional, retrospective case-control study.

Predictors of Endophthalmitis after Intravitreal Injection: A Multivariable Analysis Based on Injection Protocol and Povidone Iodine Strength.

Purpose: To determine the incidence of endophthalmitis after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy at our institution and to identify potential risk factors for endophthalmitis occurring after injection.

Design: Retrospective, single-center cohort study.

Participants: All patients who received an intravitreal injection of an anti-VEGF medication between January 1, 2014, and March 31, 2017.

Impact of clinicopathologic factors on survival in patients with sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid - a population-based analysis.

To evaluate prognostic factors and survival of patients with sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid through a population-based analysis. A total of 940 patients with primary sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid were derived from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database in the United States from 1973 to 2013. Kaplan-Meier univariate analysis and Cox Regression multivariate analysis were performed to examine prognostic factors in overall survival (OS).

Prognostic Factors and Survival Outcome in Patients with Chordoma in the United States: A Population-Based Analysis.

Objective: To evaluate prognostic factors of patients with chordoma through a population-based analysis.

Methods: Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was queried for patients with chordoma from 1973 to 2013. Kaplan-Meier univariate analysis and Cox regression multivariate analysis were performed to examine prognostic factors in overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS).
