Purpose: To evaluate retinal and choroidal changes in patients with non-granulomatous choroiditis using the multimodality imaging (MMI).
Methods: Eight eyes of four patients were analyzed. Three patients (six eyes) were diagnosed with serpiginous choroiditis (SC) and one patient (two eyes) with acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE). The patients were imaged on the same day using the RTVue Avanti XR instrument OCT/OCTA (Optovue Inc, Fremont, CA), Heidelberg Retina Angiograph 2 FAF and FA (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany), and TRC50DXi Topcon FP (Topcon Medical Systems, Oakland, NJ).
Results: OCT angiography (OCTA) showed hypoperfusion in all the cases, reperfusion in choriocapillaris in two eyes after treatment and identified a choroidal neovascularization (CNV), which was not detected on the fluorescein angiography (FA).
Conclusions: OCTA may be an effective noninvasive image modality to follow up these patients and may provide further information to help us to understand the pathophysiology and complications of these diseases.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) angle in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knees and correlate it with anatomical and demographic factors such as tibial slope, anterior tibial translation, age, gender, and time of injury.
Material And Methods: Patients were eligible for inclusion if they were clinically diagnosed with an ACL tear confirmed by MRI. For each patient, the following parameters were evaluated: PCL angle (PCLA), medial tibial slope (MTS), lateral tibial slope (LTS), medial anterior tibial translation (MATT), and lateral anterior tibial translation (LATT).

Background: We aimed to assess impairments on health-related quality of life, and mental health resulting from Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) with monocular visual field loss and posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) with full or partial hemianopia using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Methods: In a prospective study, consecutive patients with acute RAO on fundoscopy and PCIS on imaging were recruited during their surveillance on a stroke unit over a period of 15 months. Baseline characteristics were determined from medical records and interviews.

Eclampsia is a multisystem disorder of pregnancy and the puerperium. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a neurotoxic condition characterized by various neurological symptoms, can arise from multiple causes including eclampsia. Although hemorrhage is a possible complication of PRES, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a rare occurrence in eclamptic patients with this condition.

: Recent advances in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) management provide higher survival rates at the cost of increased toxicities. Acute neurotoxicity affects up to 10% of patients, requiring rapid recognition and treatment. : A retrospective observational study was performed to determine the frequency, clinical manifestations, radiological characteristics, treatment options and outcome of acute neurological adverse events in pediatric patients with lymphoid malignancies at the Department of Oncology and Hematology, Children's Hospital Zagreb, Croatia.
