Multimodal imaging in paclitaxel-induced macular edema: the microtubule disfunction.

Taxanes are a rare cause of macular edema. A 63-year-old female, under paclitaxel treatment, was observed with progressively bilateral visual acuity loss and an apparently normal fundus. Optical coherence tomography revealed a bilateral cystoid macular edema with a late petaloid pooling on fluorescein angiography.

Benign pineal cysts in children with bilateral retinoblastoma: a new variant of trilateral retinoblastoma?

Purpose: Patients with hereditary retinoblastoma (Rb) develop in 4%-8% a malignant midline tumor called trilateral Rb (TRb). We report in this study on benign pineal cysts observed in patients investigated for TRb.

Patients And Methods: Between September 1990 and December 2001, 172 patients were screened for TRb.
