Effectiveness and safety of dexamethasone implants for postsurgical macular oedema including Irvine-Gass syndrome: the EPISODIC-2 study.

Aim: To assess the effectiveness of intravitreal dexamethasone implants for treating postsurgical macular oedema (PSMO) including Irvine-Gass syndrome and determining the predictive factors of treatment response.

Methods: Descriptive, observational, retrospective, consecutive, uncontrolled, multicentre, national case series. One hundred patients were included between April 2011 and June 2014, with a minimum of 1-year follow-up.

Unusual retinopathy associated with hemochromatosis.

Purpose: To describe unusual retinal findings of a patient affected by hemochromatosis.

Methods: Case report of a 49-year-old patient who presented a progressive loss of vision. Fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, full-field electroretinogram, autofluorescence imaging, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography were performed.

Displacement of retained subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid after vitreoretinal surgery.

Objective: To report a novel surgical procedure to displace retained subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL).

Methods: Retrospective cases series. Three patients had retained subfoveal droplets after PFCL was used in vitrectomy repair of retinal detachment.

Ophthalmologic findings in suspected child abuse victims with subdural hematomas.

Purpose: Shaken baby syndrome consists of intracranial and intraocular hemorrhages in young children in the absence of signs of direct head trauma. Because it has major medicolegal implications, it must be distinguished from accidental trauma. This study aimed to determine the ophthalmologic manifestations and their natural course in child abuse victims and whether ophthalmologic examination can help to distinguish shaken babies from children with accidental impact head trauma.
