The aim of this study is to report the coexistence of retinal arterial macroaneurysms (RAMs) and cerebral aneurysms (CAs) in a 58-year-old woman with hypertension. She was noted as having a 1-week history of vision loss in her left eye, along with a 2-month history of a nonspecific headache. Visual acuity was 20/32 in her left eye and 20/20 in her right eye. A fundus examination revealed multiple areas of retinal hemorrhages that were surrounded by circinate exudation in her left eye, as well as the generalized attenuation of the retinal arteries in both of her eyes. Angiographically, hyperfluorescent round leakage points confirmed the presence of five saccular RAMs. Surprisingly, computed tomography angiography completed based on the recommendation of neurology department identified three saccular CAs. Aging, hypertension, and female preponderance are the common risk factors for both RAMs and CAs. Accordingly, RAMs and CAs may exist simultaneously in hypertensive patients.

Multifaceted approach to evacuating multi-level premacular hemorrhage in a case of suspected Valsalva retinopathy - a case report.
BMC Ophthalmol

Department of Retina and Vitreous, Narayana Nethralaya, #121/C, 1st R Block, Chord Road, Rajaji Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka, 560010, India.
Background: Accurate localization of premacular hemorrhages (PMHs) is crucial as treatment strategies vary significantly based on whether the hemorrhage resides within the vitreous gel, subhyaloid space, or beneath the internal limiting membrane (ILM). This report outlines the clinical features, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes in a patient diagnosed with a PMH secondary to suspected Valsalva retinopathy.
Methods: This is a retrospective interventional case report.

The complex interplay between low- and high-level mechanisms governing our visual system can only be fully understood within ecologically valid naturalistic contexts. For this reason, in recent years, substantial efforts have been devoted to equipping the scientific community with datasets of realistic images normed on semantic or spatial features. Here, we introduce VISIONS, an extensive database of 1136 naturalistic scenes normed on a wide range of perceptual and conceptual norms by 185 English speakers across three levels of granularity: isolated object, whole scene, and object-in-scene.

Background: Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) via MRI is costly and can be limited by regional availability. With the recent advancements and discovery of amyloid in the retina, diagnosis of AD and the effect of AD pathology on the retina is becoming well characterized. However, the prevalence of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) and its effects on the retina are less well known.

University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.
Background: Pathological changes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) occur in the locus coeruleus (LC) years before clinical symptoms. This may affect LC activity that can be indexed by changes in pupil dilation. AD also disrupts connections between related but functionally distinct cortical areas leading to visual feature binding deficits.
