Purpose: We describe a case demonstrating a submacular deposition of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) after a TA-assisted vitrectomy for retinal detachment.
Design: Interventional case report.
Methods: A 48-year-old Japanese man with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in his left eye underwent a TA-assisted vitrectomy, endolaser photocoagulation, and sulfur hexafluoride (SF(6)) gas tamponade.
Results: At the end of the surgery and the day after undergoing vitrectomy, the deposition of TA was observed between the retinal pigment epithelium and neurosensory retina in the submacular area. These TA granules disappeared after 2 weeks. Two months after the operation, the retina was observed to be successfully attached and no abnormality was observed in the macula. The patient's visual acuity improved to 20/16, and no ophthalmoscopic or functional damage was observed.
Conclusion: No apparent adverse effect was found in this case demonstrating a submacular deposition of TA.

Purpose: Multifocal choroiditis (MFC) is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by retinal and choroidal lesions that may present similarly to ocular pathology of various etiologies. Here we present a case of MFC mimicking syphilitic uveitis with unique en face optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging characteristics.

Purpose: To report the findings of unilateral cystoid macular edema (CME) associated with bilateral sub-foveal hyperreflectivity in a patient previously diagnosed with breast cancer and treated with docetaxel and cyclophosphamide.
Observations: A 69-year-old female on docetaxel and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer developed blurry vision 20 days after initiation of therapy. Ophthalmic examination revealed reduced visual acuity with bilateral retinal pigment epithelium mottling and annular sub-foveal thickening in the left eye.

Loss of choriocapillaris (CC) in advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is well documented but changes in early AMD have not been quantified. Postmortem eyes from donors with clinically documented early AMD were examined in choroidal whole mounts to determine the area, pattern, and severity of CC loss. Choroids from postmortem human eyes without AMD (n = 7; mean age = 86.
