However, no recent data is available to assess how much this distinction helps predict MS after isolated optic neuritis (ON).

Article Synopsis
  • Vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) has a poor prognosis due to high relapse rates in the central nervous system, requiring treatments like high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HCT-ASCT).
  • A study analyzed 38 adult patients treated with HCT-ASCT for isolated VRL over 11 years, showing that 84% received a thiotepa-based regimen, with some patients experiencing serious side effects.
  • Results revealed a significant relapse rate, particularly in the brain, but the strategy showed relatively good median survival rates: 96 months for progression-free survival and 92 months overall.

In living children, the use of a wide field fundus camera such as RetCam is the gold standard practice to document retinal haemorrhages in suspected cases of abusive head trauma (AHT). In case of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI), child abuse must be considered as a possible cause of death and an eye examination is required. However, no example of post-mortem fundus photograph (PMFP) of retinal haemorrhages related to AHT is yet available for clinicians.
