Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for development of paravascular inner retinal defects (PIRDs) using en face optical coherence tomography.
Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. En face and cross-sectional optical coherence tomography images were reviewed (9 × 9 mm or 12 × 12 mm).
Purpose: To report a case of nonparaneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy in a patient with a diagnosis of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
Methods: Case report. Main outcome measures included findings on retinal examination and analysis of fundus autofluorescence, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and full-field electroretinogram.
Purpose: To assess grading reproducibility of disorganization of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) and other morphologic features of diabetic macular edema (DME) across spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) instruments and scan types.
Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolled participants with current or recent center-involved DME. In group A (27 eyes), we obtained two Cirrus scans (512 × 128 macular cube [Cube] and high-definition five-line raster [HD 5-Line]) and two Spectralis scans (high-resolution [HR] and high-speed [HS]).
Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old male with ulcerative colitis developed acute recurrent central serous chorioretinopathy after using corticosteroid enemas and suppositories.
- Initial symptoms included blurry vision and the presence of subretinal fluid, which improved after tapering the steroid treatment.
- This case highlights a potential link between corticosteroid use via enemas or suppositories and the development of central serous chorioretinopathy, which hasn’t been noted in prior research.
Muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy type A (MDDGA3), one of a group of diseases collectively known as congenital muscular dystrophies, is an alpha-dystroglycanopathy with characteristic brain and ocular abnormalities. We report the case of a 9-month-old boy with developmental delay whose family sought evaluation for esotropia. Subsequent examination, imaging, and testing revealed significant motor and cognitive delay, marked weakness with appendicular spasticity, and a diffuse brain malformation.
