Purpose: To present the case of a patient with bilateral macular detachments, venous stasis retinopathy, and retinal hemorrhages as the initial manifestation of multiple myeloma.
Methods: Case report.
Results: A 59-year-old woman presented with complaints of photopsias and decreased vision and was found to have bilateral macular detachments, venous stasis retinopathy, and retinal hemorrhages. Fluorescein angiography revealed an angiographically silent fundus in both eyes, indicating no fluorescein leakage was found in the macula. Workup revealed multiple myeloma as the cause of the retinal findings.
Conclusion: Macular detachment or subretinal fluid, retinal venous dilation or congestion, and retinal hemorrhages may be presenting signs of multiple myeloma.

Department of Cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
The relationship between retinal fundus hemorrhage and the severity of coronary artery lesions remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the incidence of fundus hemorrhage in patients at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to examine its correlation with the SYNTAX score, a tool used to assess the complexity of coronary artery disease. This retrospective study consecutively enrolled patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) at Beijing Anzhen Hospital Hospital from June 2019 to January 2020.

The aim of this study was to investigate the locational distribution and potential mechanisms of retinal hemorrhages in newborns using fundus photography. A retrospective analysis of 98 consecutive newborns with retinal hemorrhages in at least one eye and 30 control newborns without retinal hemorrhages after uneventful delivery was conducted. Retinal hemorrhages were diagnosed and characterized using fundus photography and indirect ophthalmoscopy.

Retinal hemorrhage (RH) is a significant clinical finding with various etiologies, necessitating accurate classification for effective management. This study aims to externally validate deep learning (DL) models, specifically FastVit_SA12 and ResNet18, for distinguishing between traumatic and medical causes of RH using diverse fundus photography datasets. A comprehensive dataset was compiled, including private collections from South Korea and Virginia, alongside publicly available datasets such as RFMiD, BRSET, and DeepEyeNet.

Purpose: To compare the anatomical and visual outcomes in eyes with submacular hemorrhage (SMH) treated with a combination of ranibizumab (RBZ) either innovator or biosimilar (Razumab) and intravitreal perfluoropropane gas (CF).
Methods: Treatment naïve neovascular age related macular degeneration (n-AMD) patients with SMH were retrospectively analyzed. Patients received either innovator or biosimilar RBZ (3 loading doses followed by pro re nata regimen) and single injection of intravitreal CF.
