Background: Indirect choroidal rupture due to blunt ocular trauma involves rupture of the choriocapillaris or the full thickness of the choroid and Bruch's membrane. The overlying retinal pigment epithelium and the sensory retina are usually intact or atrophic, but rarely ruptured. We report a case of choroidal rupture healed with proliferative tissue protruding through the sensory retina into the vitreous cavity.
Case: A 22-year-old man was punched in the left eye. Hypotony maculopathy and choroidal rupture passing through the macula were noted.
Results: The intraocular pressure was normalized after suturing of the dialyzed ciliary body to the sclera and hypotony maculopathy was cured. Proliferative tissue formation protruding through the sensory retina into the vitreous cavity was observed 1 month after the injury. Corrected visual acuity was improved from 0.09 to 0.6. Optical coherence tomography showed that the site of the proliferative tissue was located immediately temporal to the fovea and that the fovea kept its normal form.
Conclusion: Optical coherence tomography was useful in monitoring the morphological change in the macula and predicting visual acuity in a case of blunt ocular trauma involving the macular area.

Inflammatory choroidal neovascularization (iCNV) significantly contributes to vision impairment and ranks as the third primary cause of CNV. Arising from both infectious and noninfectious uveitis, iCNV's pathogenesis involves Bruch membrane rupture, local inflammation, and choriocapillaris ischemia. The diagnosis of iCNV is challenging due to its symptomatic overlap with other uveitis-related conditions.

Anterior choroidal artery (AChA) aneurysms represent 2-5% of intracranial aneurysms. The proximity of the origin of the AChA to the aneurysm neck poses a risk of thromboembolic complications following treatment. AChA occlusion can result in significant neurological deficits.

Spontaneous disappearance of aneurysms, undetectable by conventional angiography, has been reported. This case report presents a patient with ventricular hemorrhage secondary to a ruptured lateral posterior choroidal artery aneurysm, confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Without any intervention, follow-up DSA 11 months later showed an apparent "disappearance" of the aneurysm.

Objective: Ruptured peripheral cerebral aneurysm (PPCA) associated with moyamoya disease (MMD) is rarely reported, and its optimal treatment remains controversial. This study aims to present the clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and outcome predictors of this rare clinical entity.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with hemorrhagic MMD from January 2013 to December 2020 was performed.

Article Synopsis
- Mechanical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve during certain surgeries can lead to serious cardiac events, known as the trigeminal cardiac reflex (TCR), including bradycardia and cardiac arrest.
- A rare case involved a man in his 30s who experienced sinus arrest during surgical clipping of a ruptured aneurysm after stimulation of the trigeminal nerve associated with the internal carotid artery.
- Although cardiac assessments post-surgery showed no abnormalities and no cardiac events occurred over a year and a half, this case highlights the need for further research into the underlying mechanisms and risk factors associated with TCR during such procedures.
