Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Findings in Birdshot Chorioretinitis: A Cross Sectional Study of 21 Patients.

Purpose: Birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR) is a form of posterior uveitis that is classically characterized by hypopigmented choroidal lesions outside of the major arcades. However, little is known about the extent of choroidal involvement in the macula. We aim to describe the vascular abnormalities observed at the level of the choriocapillaris (CC) in the maculae of BSCR patients, using swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).

Secondary Syphilis Presenting as Bilateral Simultaneous Papillitis in an Immunocompetent Individual.

Ocular syphilis is a common presentation for patients with secondary or tertiary syphilis and usually includes posterior uveitis or panuveitis, though a myriad of symptoms have been associated. We report the case of a 58-year-old Caucasian male who presented with fast-progressing vision loss and a new onset of floaters in both eyes. An initial fundus exam revealed only bilateral optic disc edema, and neurological evaluation was negative.

Choroidal Macrovessel Diagnosed on Multimodal Imaging, including Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

Choroidal macrovessel (CM) is a rare anomalous vascular lesion in the choroid. In this case report, we describe a 72-year-old Caucasian man diagnosed with an incidental heavily branching CM in the macula of his right eye based on multimodal imaging, including enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (OCT), swept-source OCT angiography, and indocyanine green angiography. Multimodal imaging is valuable in demonstrating the distinctive appearance of this entity and differentiating it from more vision-threatening differential diagnoses, such as ophthalmomyiasis interna, choroidal neoplasms, retinochoroidal anastomosis, and inflammatory conditions.

Relapsing Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) in a Patient Treated with Infliximab for Chronic Uveitis.

Purpose: To report a case of relapsing thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in a patient treated with infliximab for chronic uveitis.

Case Report: A 57-year-old African American woman with chronic anterior and intermediate uveitis, treated with infliximab for more than 1 year, presented with fatigue, dark colored urine, and ecchymosis on her extremities. She was diagnosed with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and recovered after treatment.

Analysis of new cases of uveitis at academic and community settings.

Purpose: Describe the demographics of new patients with uveitis presenting to an urban, academic centre and affiliated, suburban satellite clinics to assess if changes in infrastructure were needed for clinical care. Secondarily, examine the frequency of infectious uveitides.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of single academic centre of 436 consecutive, new patients with uveitis (686 eyes) and 3 affiliated, satellite clinics seen by 8 uveitis specialists from 1 July 2013 to 31 March 2017.
