Purpose: A 2-year-old boy with syndromic bilateral retinoblastoma resulting from a (del(13)(q12.3q14.3)) developed a recurrent tumor measuring 2.3 X 2.3 mm at the ora serrata 15 months following last treatment.
Methods: Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a mass invading the ciliary body 6.6 mm in diameter associated with a localized supraciliary effusion.
Results: Complete tumor regression was achieved 1 month after brachytherapy with a (106)Ruthenium plaque. There was no recurrence at 16 months.
Conclusion: This is the first clinical demonstration of supraciliary effusion in recurrent retinoblastoma. Brachytherapy appears to be effective in the treatment of this type of recurrence.

Clinical analysis of supraciliary effusion development following gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy surgery for pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Purpose: To investigate clinical characteristics of postoperative supraciliary effusion (SCE) development following gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG).
Methods: In this prospective and observational study, 64 eyes (64 patients) with PEXG were examined with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) after GATT over a 12-month follow-up. Outcomes were surgical success, intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), number of antiglaucoma medications (AGM) and complications of the SCE (+) group with those of SCE (-) group.

Article Synopsis
- * A 32-year-old man was misdiagnosed with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome after experiencing vision problems and retinal detachment in both eyes, leading to inappropriate treatment with immunomodulatory therapy.
- * This case highlights the diagnostic difficulties of UES; a thorough evaluation revealed a Wnt10A gene mutation, indicating a unique instance of UES resistant to typical corticosteroid treatment.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of ab interno canaloplasty (ABiC) with gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG).
Method: This randomised clinical trial recruited eyes with OAG and no previous incisional ocular surgery, among which 38 were randomised to ABiC and 39 to GATT. Follow-ups were performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features and treatment outcomes in spontaneous uveal effusion syndrome (UES).
Methods: A 10-year retrospective chart review of UES patients from a tertiary eye center was carried out. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography, and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) scans were performed.
