OUTCOMES OF VITRECTOMY IN TERSON SYNDROME: A Multicenter Canadian Perspective.

Purpose: To characterize the presentation of Terson syndrome, the occurrence of a vitreous hemorrhage in association with intracranial hemorrhage, and report on the outcomes of vitrectomy at two major centers in Canada.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of consecutive patients with Terson syndrome undergoing vitrectomy by retina specialists over the last 10 years. Primary outcome was the change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 3 months from baseline.

Lid splinting eyelid retraction technique: a minimised sterile approach for intravitreal injections.

Background/aims: To describe an alternative technique for avoiding contact with the lids and lashes, without the use of a lid speculum, during intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections.

Methods: Retrospective case series of all patients undergoing intravitreal injections of bevacizumab and ranibizumab, with the lid splinting retraction technique from January 2010 to December 2015. Injections performed by six vitreoretinal specialists were included.

Effects of malicious ocular laser exposure in commercial airline pilots.

Objective: Intentional malicious laser strikes on commercial pilots are committed by individuals who target a laser into airplane cockpits during takeoff and landing. Because laser exposure to pilots is a relatively new but growing occurrence, our study investigates the ocular effect of this laser exposure in pilots.

Design: Retrospective chart review by a single ophthalmologist.

RETINAL LESION EVOLUTION IN SUSAC SYNDROME.

Purpose: To describe retinal lesion development in Susac syndrome during acute, postacute, and late phases of the disease.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of four patients with Susac syndrome and longitudinal short-interval case study of one additional patient. Retinal changes were analyzed with high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography and retinal fluorescein angiography.

Treatment of ocular metastasis with anti-VEGF: a literature review and case report.

Purpose: This is the first case report where 1.25mg intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) correlated with choroidal mass resolution from metastatic breast cancer given concurrently with chemotherapy demonstrating, at best, disease stability in other organs.

Study Design: Case report.

A case of isolated Susac occlusive retinal vasculitis.

Susac syndrome is characterized by encephalopathy, sensorineural hearing loss, and branch retinal artery occlusion. Additional ocular findings include arteriolar wall hyperfluorescence and Gass plaques. We present a 51-year-old Caucasian woman with ophthalmologic findings indicative of Susac syndrome in the setting of tinnitus and migraine with aura.

Telemedicine approach to screening for severe retinopathy of prematurity: a pilot study.

Purpose: To evaluate the use of remote reading of digital retinal photographs in the diagnosis of severe (referral-warranted) retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) during longitudinal screening for ROP.

Study Design: Prospective, longitudinal cohort study.

Subjects: Forty-four consecutive premature infants at risk for ROP.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of orbital gas gangrene.

Clostridial gas gangrene (myonecrosis) is a rapidly progressive, life-threatening infection. The occurrence of clostridial gas gangrene in the orbit is uncommon. We present a case of gas gangrene in the orbit of a child, with Clostridium perfringens isolated from the wound.
