ACUTE RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIITIS: ASSOCIATION WITH ACUTE COXSACKIE A VIRUS INFECTION.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the occurrence of acute retinal pigment epitheliitis in association with serologic evidence of acute Coxsackie A virus infection.

Methods: This study is a case report.

Results: A 37-year-old man noted an acute onset of paracentral scotomas in his right eye correlating with stippled retinal pigment epithelial pigment alterations with whitish halos surrounding the fovea.

chorioretinitis as a biomarker of systemic disease activity following nosocomial acquisition during cardiopulmonary bypass.

: To understand the role of ophthalmoscopic examination (dilated retina examination and widefield fundus photography) in the diagnosis and management of nosocomial acquisition of following open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass utilizing a heater-cooler unit, an entity that is associated with >50% mortality during the worldwide outbreak that has occurred since 2013.: Case report with review of previous cases.: Signature chorioretinal lesions can be used as a diagnostic sign and a biomarker for assessment of treatment efficacy.

PNEUMATIC COMPACTION TREATMENT OF ACUTE SUBFOVEAL HEMORRHAGE AFTER BLUNT TRAUMA IN A PATIENT WITH ANGIOID STREAKS ASSOCIATED WITH PSEUDOXANTHOMA ELASTICUM.

Purpose: To report a case of photoreceptor restitution and vision improvement with pneumatic compaction treatment of acute subfoveal hemorrhage in a patient with angioid streaks associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, observed by sequential fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and fundus autofluorescence.

Methods: Findings on initial and sequential clinical examinations, fundus autofluorescence, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography are presented, before and after pneumatic compaction, demonstrating the course of compaction and resolution of subfoveal hemorrhage and status of the foveal ellipsoid zone and external limiting membrane. Sequential improvements in oxygen and nutrient diffusion are calculated using Fick's law of diffusion.
