Therapeutic Vitrectomy in the Management of Uveitis: Opportunities and Challenges.

Purpose: Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) has been traditionally used for diagnostic tapping or for management of posterior segment complications, in uveitis. The anti-inflammatory potential of therapeutic PPV, independent of its role in managing uveitis complications, is yet to be realised completely. In this narrative review, we have described the indications, surgical technique, and outcomes of therapeutic PPV in the management of uveitis.

Ocular surface squamous neoplasia in India: a study of 438 patients.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features, histopathology, treatment, and outcomes of patients with ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) presenting to a referral centre in India.

Methods: Retrospective interventional study.

Results: Of 438 patients, the mean age at presentation was 49 years.

Spontaneous regression of presumed ocular surface squamous neoplasia: A report of 8 cases.

Purpose: To report the phenomenon of spontaneous regression in presumed ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).

Methods: Retrospective chart review of clinically diagnosed cases of OSSN during 2016 to 2019.

Results: Of the 449 OSSN lesions, spontaneous regression was seen in 8 lesions (2%).

Posterior pole retinal breaks causing posterior pole retinal detachment in a middle-aged man with retinal vasculitis and moderate myopia.

A 38-year-old man presented with sudden decreased vision in the right eye 3 years ago due to vitreous haemorrhage. During follow-up, right eye fundus showed evidence of vasculitis, non-perfusion areas and neovascularisation elsewhere. Systemic evaluation findings of positive Mantoux test, QuantiFERON Gold test and right apical pleuroparenchymal fibrosis observed on high-resolution CT of the chest were suggestive of postinfection probable tubercular aetiology.
