Purpose: To report three cases of hemorrhagic unilateral retinopathy, diagnosed by multimodal imaging.
Methods: Case report of 3 patients, 2 women and one man, aged 51, 74, and 52, respectively.
Results: Symptoms were acute floaters, blurred vision, or central scotoma, unilateral in all cases.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the challenges in diagnosing a 56-year-old woman with early symptoms of late-onset retinal degeneration (L-ORD) over an eleven-year follow-up period, stressing the importance of electrophysiological tests for detecting inherited retinal diseases.
- Initially, she was misdiagnosed with fundus albipunctatus, but after a decade, tests showed deterioration in rod and cone responses, prompting further genetic testing.
- Ultimately, genetic results confirmed the diagnosis of L-ORD linked to a variation in the C1QTNF5 gene, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and diagnostic follow-ups in such cases.
Perifoveal exudative vascular anomalous complex (PEVAC) is a perifoveal aneurysmal vascular lesion found in healthy subjects. A 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with a typical unilateral and unifocal PEVAC lesion after extensive multimodal imaging and was treated with three-monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab. An immediate and complete resolution of the intraretinal fluid was observed.

We describe the case of a 63-year-old woman who had received low-dose treatment with tamoxifen for 10 years. She presented with a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 in both eyes and bilateral macular hole with posterior hyaloid attachment.
