The rare form of retinal metastasis with infiltration of the vitreous is presented in terms of a 47-year-old female patient suffering from an oat cell bronchogenic carcinoma with remote metastasis. Clinical appearance, differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, histology and evolution are discussed.

Hereditary Vitreoretinopathies: Molecular Diagnosis, Clinical Presentation and Management.
Clin Exp Ophthalmol

Hereditary vitreoretinopathies (HVRs), also known as hereditary vitreoretinal degenerations comprise a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of the retina and vitreous, collectively and variably characterised by vitreal abnormalities, such as fibrillary condensations, liquefaction or membranes, as well as peripheral retinal abnormalities, vascular changes in some, an increased risk of retinal detachment and early-onset cataract formation. The pathology often involves the vitreoretinal interface in some, while the major underlying abnormality is vascular in others. Recent advances in molecular diagnosis and identification of the responsible genes and have improved our understanding of the pathogenesis, risks and management of the HVRs.

Purpose: Changes in choroidal thickness (ChT) are proposed to predict myopia development but evidence is mixed. We investigated time courses of choroidal responses, following different types of dynamic artificial stimulation in chicks with and without spectacle lenses, as well as changes in retinal dopamine metabolism and expression of candidate genes.
Methods: Chicks were kept in an arena surrounded by computer monitors presenting dynamic checkerboard fields of small, medium and large size.
Layer-specific anatomical and physiological features of the retina's neurovascular unit.

The neurovascular unit (NVU), comprising vascular, glial, and neural elements, supports the energetic demands of neural computation, but this aspect of the retina's trilaminar vessel network is poorly understood. Only the innermost vessel layer-the superficial vascular plexus (SVP)-is associated with astrocytes, like brain capillaries, whereas radial Müller glia interact with vessels in the other layers. Using serial electron microscopic reconstructions from mouse and primate retina, we find that Müller processes cover capillaries in a tessellating pattern, mirroring the wrapping of brain capillaries by tiled astrocytic endfeet.

Foveal hernia (FH) can be detected by optic coherence tomography. FH refers to the prolapse of the innermost retinal layers into the vitreal cavity. It occurs in patients with an epiretinal membrane that does not cover the central foveal area.

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies have revolutionized the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and other retinal diseases. However, the necessity for repeated intravitreal injections and the observation of variable treatment responses calls for new treatment modalities where fewer and more effective interventions can result in a clinical effect. Gene therapy might be such an alternative, and therefore the development and clinical application of gene therapy aimed at modifying gene expression has received considerable attention.
