Method: The study enrolled CTU images of 18 patients with and 54 without RB1 mutation from a public database. Image and data preprocessing were performed after data augmentation.
: To investigate the frequency of neuroimaging findings of intracranial hypertension in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). We also aimed to compare these findings in two patient groups and investigate the association of these findings with some clinical parameters.: Patients with IIH and CVT admitted to the neurology, neuro-ophthalmology outpatient clinics, and emergency services between 2017 and 2019 were enrolled in this study.

Methods: The sample included 46 eyes of 42 patients with DME associated with the ERM (n = 22, Group 1) or TPH (n = 24, Group 2). All participants received panretinal laser photocoagulation and antivascular endothelial growth factor injections preoperatively and underwent 23-gauge PPV combined with ERM or TPH removal and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.
