A 44-year-old female patient reported a "black dot" which had been in front of the right eye for more than 4 days and which moved together with eye movements. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) image of the right macula showed large cystic cavities and thickening within the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) near the fovea centralis as well as small bore cystic alterations, which indicated an event in the region of the choroid. Fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography excluded choroidal neovascularization (CNV). The diagnosis revealed a broad superficial choroidal blood vessel mimicking a subretinal hemorrhage.

Perivascular Chorioretinal Atrophy: an Unusual Feature in Pathologic Myopia Eyes.
Am J Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, New Civil Hospital, Strasbourg University Hospital, FMTS, Strasbourg, France. Electronic address:
Purpose: To describe a new feature in pathologic myopia: perivascular patchy chorioretinal atrophy (PVCA) DESIGN: Cross-sectional study METHODS: 604 eyes of 312 highly myopic patients followed at Strasbourg University Hospitals were reviewed for the presence of PVCA lesions. Demographic, clinical, and paraclinical data (ultra-widefield retinography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography images) were analyzed. Controls were matched for age, sex, and axial length (AL).

BMC Ophthalmol
November 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, 81 Irwon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 06351, Republic of Korea.
Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disease entity characterized by elevated intracranial pressure, which usually accompanied by papilledema. However, diagnosing papilledema can be challenging in patients with preexisting ocular conditions, such as high myopia.
Case Presentation: A 39-year-old woman with a long-standing history of high myopia presented with visual field constriction.
Pathobiology of the crystalline lens in Stickler syndrome.
Prog Retin Eye Res
November 2024
Vitreoretinal Research Group, John van Geest Centre for Brain Repair, University of Cambridge, Forvie Site, Robinson Way, Cambridge, CB2 0PY, United Kingdom.
Purpose: The Stickler syndromes are a group of connective tissue disorders characterised by congenital myopia, giant retinal tear and retinal detachment, cleft palate, hearing loss and premature arthropathy. Patients with Stickler syndrome are also susceptible to abnormalities of the crystalline lens. Since neither type II or type XI collagen (those typically affected in the vast majority of Stickler patients) are highly expressed in the lens, this observational cohort study explores potential alternative mechanisms to explain why patients frequently exhibit such unusual but characteristic types of cataract.
