A rare case of aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity presenting with exudative retinal detachment.

Aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (APROP) is the most severe form of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), with rapid progression to tractional retinal detachment. Exudative retinal detachment (ERD) has rarely been described as a primary presentation in ROP. We present a case of unlasered zone 1 APROP in a 34-week infant presenting with bilateral ERD, which was treated with intravitreal ranibizumab.

Retinal Arteriovenous Malformation Assessment Using Swept-Source OCT Angiography.

Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) is a promising new imaging modality for assessing retinal and choroidal vasculature. Faster scanning speed, large number of A-scan acquisition, and enhanced depth penetration has enhanced the detailed analysis of retinal layers. The authors discuss SS-OCTA features of a rare case of retinal arteriovenous malformation.

Intravitreal bevacizumab for postviral fever retinitis: a novel approach for early resolution of macular oedema.

Severe macular oedema causing marked loss of vision is seen in cases of retinitis developing postviral fever. The use of antivascular endothelial growth factor agents for macular oedema and submacular fluid secondary to viral retinitis has not been studied or well established in the past. We report a case series of two patients of postviral retinitis with severe macular oedema resistant to steroid therapy, treated with intravitreal bevacizumab.

Treatment of unilateral zone I cytomegalovirus retinitis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia with oral valganciclovir and intravitreal ganciclovir.

Cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) is an opportunistic infection seen in immunocompromised patients, especially suffering from acquired immune deficiency syndrome. It is uncommonly seen in hematological malignancies and in patients on immunosuppressants. The authors present a 12-year-old girl with unilateral CMVR who was on maintenance phase therapy for mixed phenotype (B/myeloid) leukemia.

Bilateral disc drusen in a diabetic patient simulating diabetic papillopathy as a cause of disc edema.

Bilateral optic disc edema in a diabetic patient may be caused by diabetic papillopathy. We herein report on a patient with bilateral optic disc drusen simulating diabetic papillopathy. A 55-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes presented with decreased vision of 1-month.

Ophthalmic examination as a means to diagnose Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis: an optical coherence tomography and ultrawide field imaging evaluation.

Background: Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a potentially fatal complication of measles. The authors report a case of recurrent myoclonic jerks under investigation, whose ophthalmic examination pointed to the diagnosis.

Case Presentation: A 12-year-old boy with recurrent episodes of myoclonic jerks was found to have optic disc pallor and an irregular macular scar with pigmentation in the left eye.

Mizuo-Nakamura Phenomena.

A 21-year-old male presented with a chief complaint of night blindness since early childhood. The patient had no history of hemeralopia or photophobia, and no family history of such illness or use of glasses. On examination, his visual acuity was 6/6 in both eyes.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Study of Choroidal Neovascularization Associated With Focal Choroidal Excavation.

The authors report the use of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) (DRI OCT Triton; Topcon, Tokyo, Japan) to localize, characterize, and confirm the presence of a choroidal neovascular membrane in a patient of focal choroidal excavation (FCE) with recent-onset metamorphopsia and visual blurring. En face OCTA images just above the level of the retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch's membrane complex typically showed the presence of a glomerulus-like neovascular network with an adjacent dark area suggestive of a Type 2 choroidal neovascularization (CNV). OCTA was found to be a very useful, noninvasive, and quick imaging modality to detect secondary CNV formation in a case of FCE.

Sympathetic ophthalmia following a conjunctival flap procedure for corneal perforation.

A 25-year-old man developed diminution of vision and redness in both eyes 5 weeks after a conjunctival flap procedure in the right eye. On examination, there was panuveitis and exudative retinal detachment in both eyes. The right eye had an inferotemporal conjunctival flap with iris incarceration.

Evaluation of Autograft Characteristics After Pterygium Excision Surgery: Autologous Blood Coagulum Versus Fibrin Glue.

Purpose: To compare graft outcomes following pterygium excision and conjunctival autograft fixation using patient's in situ autologous blood or standard fibrin glue-assisted conjunctival autograft adhesion.

Methods: Outcomes of 23 consecutive eyes which underwent pterygium excision and conjunctival autograft with autologous in situ blood coagulum (group I) were compared with historical case controls (20 eyes) that had undergone fibrin glue-assisted conjunctival autograft (group II). Primary outcome measure was graft stability.
