Phacoantigenic Reaction Masquerading as Postoperative Endophthalmitis in a Silicone Oil-filled Eye.

A 72-year-old phakic male with immature cataract underwent vitrectomy with silicone oil injection in his left eye for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The surgery was uneventful except for lens touch during vitrectomy. Two weeks postoperatively, he presented with circumcorneal congestion, hypopyon, and absent fundal glow suggestive of postoperative endophthalmitis.

Real-time in vivo micromorphology and histopathology of choroidal osteoma using enhanced depth imaging.

Choroidal osteoma is a usually unilateral benign tumor of the choroid composed of mature bone. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been used to image osteoma for several years. With the advent of enhanced depth imaging (EDI) feature of spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT), better visualization of the morphology of choroidal lesions has been possible.

An insight into the pathogenesis of optic disc pit-associated maculopathy with enhanced depth imaging.

Importance: Optic disc pit with associated maculopathy is a known entity. However, controversy exists regarding the source of subretinal fluid in these cases. In our series, we attempted to analyze the morphologic changes seen in the optic disc pit and evaluate the source of subretinal fluid.
