Purpose: Describe a case of symmetric bilateral macular atrophy as an ophthalmological manifestation of Mucolipidosis type 3.
Methods: Multimodal retinal imaging evaluation was performed, with color fundus photograph, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. Genetic testing confirmed the systemic diagnosis.
Association between obstructive coronary disease and diabetic retinopathy: Cross-sectional study of coronary angiotomography and multimodal retinal imaging.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the link between diabetic retinopathy (DR) and coronary artery disease (CAD) using advanced imaging techniques for both the heart and eyes.
- - It included 171 diabetic patients and found that those with CAD had a significantly higher prevalence of DR and related retinal issues compared to those without CAD.
- - The findings suggest that CAD, along with the duration of diabetes and insulin use, are important factors independently associated with DR in diabetic patients.
Purpose: To describe two cases of concentric macular rings (CMR) sign in patients with combined hamartoma of retina and retinal pigment epithelium (CHRRPE).
Methods: History and clinical examination, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and optic coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
Results: The first patient was a 26-year-old woman with clinical diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis type 2.
Purpose: To describe the sequential evolution of outer retinal tubulations (ORTs) in patients diagnosed with choroidal neovascularization and/or retinal pigment epithelium atrophy.
Methods: Retrospective evaluation of spectral domain optical coherence tomography of a consecutive cohort of patients with various retinal conditions.
Results: We reviewed the clinical findings of 238 eyes of 119 consecutive patients (54 men and 65 women) with a mean age of 76.
