Purpose: To evaluate the systemic and ocular outcomes of patients with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) and central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).
Methods: This is a single-institution study of 75 subjects diagnosed with BRAO (28, 37.3%) and CRAO (47, 62.
Introduction: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in the setting of pediatric retinoblastoma is exceedingly unusual. Here, we present the first reported case of CMV retinitis in an enucleated eye with retinoblastoma after chemotherapy in the western hemisphere.
Case Presentation: A 2-year-old Hispanic male without a family history of retinoblastoma presented with a 3-month history of right eye exotropia and squinting.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is commonly associated with immunosuppression and can cause irreversible vision loss. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as an effective cancer treatment option but requires immunosuppression, thereby increasing the possibility of acquiring opportunistic infections such as CMV. We present the case of a 76-year-old female with a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus who initially presented with shortness of breath and was diagnosed with the activated B-cell subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

There is currently a lack of data on the effect of preoperative MI on the outcomes of carotid revascularization methodology (carotid enterectomy [CEA], transfemoral carotid artery stenting [TFCAS], or transcarotid artery revascularization [TCAR]). This study looks to identify modality-specific outcomes for patients with recent MI undergoing carotid revascularization.
