Thickened Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Without Hypermyelination in Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay.

To report the retinal findings in a patient with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay. A case was evaluated. A 16-year-old male patient with a known diagnosis of autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay was referred for evaluation of retinal hypermyelination given its frequent association with the condition.

VISUAL OUTCOMES AFTER INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE PEELING VERSUS FLAP IN THE CLOSURE OF FULL-THICKNESS MACULAR HOLES.

Purpose: To examine postoperative outcomes of internal limiting membrane peeling (ILMP) versus flap (ILMF) in the closure of full-thickness macular holes.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and gas tamponade with ILMP or ILMF to close full-thickness macular hole at the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist from January 2012 to October 2022 with at least 3 months follow-up. Main outcome measures were type 1 primary full-thickness macular hole closure and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity in mean logMAR.

A novel approach to sclerotomy closure in pars plana vitrectomy: a pilot study.

Background: Methods of sclerotomy closure following a vitrectomy, including the use of sutures, have been associated with complications such as inflammation, foreign body sensation, and infection. Here, we test an innovative approach to scleral wound closure following pars plana vitrectomy that involves plugging the wound. We investigated several materials with the intent of using products that were either already approved by the FDA for other types of procedures or were biocompatible patient-derived materials.
