Single-line macular optic coherence tomography to confirm optic neuropathies in awake infants and young children.

Background: Handheld optical coherence tomography (HH-OCT) can image awake, young children but lacks integrated segmentation/analysis software. OCT imaging of eyes with optic neuropathies demonstrates ganglion cell layer (GCL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thinning, with a normal or thickened inner nuclear layer (INL). We compared pediatric normative data with GCL/INL and GCC/INL ratios from HH-OCT macular scans of awake young children with clinically diagnosed optic neuropathies.

Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion in a COVID-19 Positive Patient.

Retinal vein occlusions (RVOs), including central retinal vein occlusions (CRVOs) and branch retinal vein occlusions (BRVOs), are a common cause of morbidity in elderly patients. We present the case of a healthy 74-year-old female patient who initially presented with blurry vision in her left eye in the setting of a symptomatic COVID-19 infection. She was diagnosed with a branch retinal vein occlusion that did not immediately require treatment.

Coluber Constrictor Bite to the Eye: A Novel Case Report of a Wild Snake Bite to the Eye in North America and Review of Literature.

Snake bites involving the eye are an uncommon cause of ocular trauma; herein, we present one of the few known instances of a snake bite directly to the globe, specifically by the way of a , also known as the "Black Racer." In this case report, we describe a nine-year-old girl who presented immediately following a snake bite to the right eye. The patient's vision was unaffected despite visualized puncture wounds through the conjunctiva with associated near-total subconjunctival hemorrhage.

Treatment of Coats' disease: an analysis of pooled results.

Aim: To elucidate the association of treatment modality to vitreoretinal fibrosis and traction retinal detachment (TRD) in Coats' disease.

Methods: A PubMed search for Coats' disease with included studies describing eyes with clinical features and treatment course of Coats' disease. Binary logistic regression with fibrosis at presentation and treatment type as independent variables was performed to determine predictors of TRD historically (since 1921) and in the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) era (since 2007).

Hairpulling causing vision loss: a case report.

Subperiosteal extension of a subgaleal hematoma (SGH) to the orbit is a reported, but rare complication of trauma. This report details a 13-year-old African-American male who originally presented to the emergency department after trauma with headache and was found on CT imaging to have a contained subgaleal hemorrhage. He presented 2 days later with increased pain and proptosis of the left eye with findings of decreased visual acuity, elevated intraocular pressure, proptosis, and complete external ophthalmoplegia.
