Angiographically documented aneurysms of the intraorbital ophthalmic artery are extremely rare. Two cases are presented of intra-orbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms, both associated with arteriovenous malformation (AVM). There have only been isolated reports documenting this combination of vascular anomalies. In the first case, the aneurysm was treated conservatively and in the second case, after staging angiography and interventional embolization, the aneurysm was removed along with the associated AVM. The clinical presentation, pathogenesis and management of this rare combination of vascular anomalies is briefly discussed.

The optic canal (OC) transmits the optic nerve (ON) and ophthalmic artery (OA) from the skull base to the orbit. Its morphological variability is narrow, and most commonly its dimensions are being studied. We observed an unexpected variant during a routine investigation of our osteological collection.

Exploring the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus on retinal vascular morphology by PKSEA-Net.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a temporary metabolic disorder in which small retinal vessels may have experience subtle changes before clinical lesions of the fundus retina appear. An innovative artificial intelligence image processing technology was applied to locate and analyze the small retinal vessel morphology and accurately evaluate the changes of the small retinal vessels in GDM patients and pregnant women with normal blood glucose and non-pregnant women with normal blood glucose.

Methods: The subjects were divided into three groups:GDM group, pregnant control group (PC), and normal control group (NC).

A 73-year-old male with a history of incidentally diagnosed Paget disease of bone affecting the skull and left orbit 2 years prior presented with 3 months of vision loss, proptosis, and periorbital swelling of the OS. Examination showed best-corrected Snellen visual acuity of 20/150 in the affected eye, intact motility, 7 mm of relative proptosis, significant dilated and tortuous "corkscrew" conjunctival vessels, serous choroidal and retinal detachments, optic nerve hyperemia, and venous tortuosity and dilation. Although the bony lesions in the left orbit were stable from 1 year prior on imaging, the diagnostic angiogram demonstrated osseous blush and hypervascularity of the lesion.

Objectives: To examine the relationship of ophthalmic artery (OA) Doppler indices with uterine artery (UtA) Doppler indices, selected maternal hemodynamic parameters and gestational age, and to evaluate the intraobserver reproducibility of OA Doppler indices.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of women recruited between 11 + 0 and 23 + 6 weeks' gestation using a stratified and random sampling approach to ensure adequate distribution across the gestational-age range. OA pulsatility index (PI), first peak systolic velocity (PSV1), second peak systolic velocity (PSV2) and peak systolic velocity ratio (PSV ratio), calculated as PSV2/PSV1, were measured twice in each eye by the same observer.
