ACUTE POSTERIOR MULTIFOCAL PLACOID PIGMENT EPITHELIOPATHY AND PLACOID VARIANT DISEASES MASQUERADING AS AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION IN THE ELDERLY: A Case Series.

Purpose: To report eight cases of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) or persistent placoid maculopathy (PPM) initially masquerading as age-related macular degeneration in elderly individuals.

Methods: APMPPE or PPM eyes in patients above age 55 years with macular retinal pigment epithelium disruption including drusenoid lesions on macular examination and/or with multimodal imaging were included. At least one method of multimodal imaging including fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA) was performed in all eyes for diagnosis and to monitor for macular neovascularization.

Boucher-Neuhauser Syndrome: Chorioretinal Changes in a Single Case Over Time.

To describe chorioretinal changes in a single case of Boucher-Neuhauser Syndrome (BNHS) over 45 years of follow-up. Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed. Color fundus photography from 1977 to 2003 was obtained and digitized.

Central serous chorioretinopathy: An evidence-based treatment guideline.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a relatively common disease that causes vision loss due to macular subretinal fluid leakage and it is often associated with reduced vision-related quality of life. In CSC, the leakage of subretinal fluid through defects in the retinal pigment epithelial layer's outer blood-retina barrier appears to occur secondary to choroidal abnormalities and dysfunction. The treatment of CSC is currently the subject of controversy, although recent data obtained from several large randomized controlled trials provide a wealth of new information that can be used to establish a treatment algorithm.

Ultrasound Assessment of Gaze-induced Posterior Eyewall Deformation in Highly Myopic Eyes.

Purpose: To establish a quantitative metric of posterior eyewall deformability in different directions of gaze in highly myopic eyes with and without posterior staphyloma.

Methods: A prospective study was performed on 53 highly myopic patients (106 eyes). Ultrasound scans were acquired in primary, up, downward, nasal, and temporal gazes.

MULTIZONAL OUTER RETINOPATHY AND RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIOPATHY (MORR): A Newly Recognized Entity or an Unusual Variant of AZOOR?

Purpose: To describe specific clinical, multimodal imaging, and natural history features of an unusual variant of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy.

Methods: Retrospective, observational, longitudinal, multicenter case series. Patients exhibiting this unusual clinical condition among cases previously diagnosed with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy were included.
