IV Thrombolysis for central retinal artery occlusion - Real-world experience from a comprehensive stroke center.

Objectives: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a stroke of the retina potentially amenable to intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). We aimed to determine feasibility of an emergency treatment protocol and risk profile of IVT for CRAO in a comprehensive stroke center (CSC).

Methods: We performed a retrospective, observational cohort study including patients with acute CRAO admitted to a CSC over 4 years.

Pediatric Central Retinal Vein Occlusion Secondary to Concurrent Mechanisms of Optic Neuritis and Antiphospholipid Syndrome.

To report a pediatric case of optic neuritis with subsequent development of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). A case and its findings were analyzed. A 16-year-old boy presented with painful vision loss in the left eye, an afferent pupillary defect, and optic disc edema.

Approach to the diagnosis and management of nutritional optic neuropathies.

Purpose Of Review: Nutritional deficiency is an under-recognized cause of optic neuropathy. The purpose of this review is to discuss how to identify, diagnose, and appropriately manage patients with nutritional optic neuropathy.

Recent Findings: Nutritional deficiencies have long been thought to be more prevalent in the developing countries.

Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery in the Management of Optic Nerve Sheath Meningiomas: An International Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Twenty Studies.

Background: Optic nerve sheath meningiomas (ONMs) are often managed with radiotherapy (RT) with the goal of achieving radiographic local control (LC) and preventing deterioration of visual acuity (VA). We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of outcomes for patients with ONM treated with RT.

Methods: The PICOS/PRISMA/MOOSE selection criteria were used to identify studies.
