A 49-year-old diabetic female was diagnosed to have both eyes proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and neovascular glaucoma (NVG [rubeosis stage in the right eye and angle-closure stage in the left eye]). The right eye anterior and posterior segment new vessels regressed 2 weeks following intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection. The left eye fundus revealed fibrovascular proliferation (FVP) for which panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) was started and subsequently intracameral bevacizumab (ICB) was injected.

Due to recalcitrant nature of the endophthalmitis, one or more sittings of double freeze and thaw cryotherapy was applied over and adjacent to the infective foci in each case. This cryotherapy was used as an adjunct alongside conventional endophthalmitis management following which resolution of infection was observed in both cases.

Fundus showed disc edema, multiple yellow outer retinal crops, macular edema and a live motile worm in the subretinal space. Diagnosis of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) was made and pattern scanning laser photocoagulation (PSLP) was performed along with administration of oral albendazole, diethylcarbamazine and corticosteroids.

Methods: In this retrospective series, Twelve eyes of seven patients diagnosed with PFT group II without evidence of sub-retinal neovascular membrane (SRNVM) clinically or on spectral domain-OCT (SD-OCT) were included. All patients underwent OCT-A on the Topcon DRI OCT Triton with 4.
Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are fistulas connecting the branches of dural arteries to dural veins or a venous sinus. Osteodural fistulas are a rare subset of this group of diseases. We wish to report a rare case of an osteodural arteriovenous fistula at the foot of the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV), treatment of which required an unusual surgical approach via the orbit and SOV.
