Rationale: To report a case of 44-year-old man with delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage (DSCH) 2 days after cataract surgery.

Patient Concerns: The patient developed sudden onset of ocular pain and reduction of visual acuity on his left eye 2 days after receiving conventional cataract operation.

Diagnoses: The ocular conditions were accessed by best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit lamp examination, fundus photography, and B-scan ultrasound. Fundus color photograph revealed a raised choroidal mass and extensive subretinal hemorrhage. B-scan ultrasound also confirmed features of choroidal hemorrhage. Thus, he was diagnosed as DSCH.

Interventions: He received conservative treatments for 1 month.

Outcomes: The involved eye recovered well.

Lessons: DSCH is a rare but dreaded complication occurring in intraocular operations. Conservative managements or surgeries may be beneficial for the recovery of visual acuity.

Removal of Subretinal Gas After Pneumatic Retinopexy Under Air Using External Manipulation.

Retin Cases Brief Rep

January 2025

The Retina Service of Wills Eye Hospital, Wills Eye Physicians-Mid Atlantic Retina, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA.

Purpose: To illustrate a technique for the removal of subretinal gas via pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with air-fluid exchange and simultaneous manipulation with scleral depression.

Methods: PPV to remove subretinal gas causing persistent macula-off retinal detachment was performed in one eye, and the results were evaluated in this case report. Ports were carefully placed to avoid puncturing the retina, which was significantly displaced anteriorly past the ora serrata due to the buoyancy of the subretinal gas with the patient in a supine position.

Purpose: To evaluate the presence and progression of maculopathy in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT-Angiography (OCTA), and to identify clinical/laboratory risk factors for progression during follow-up.

Methods: Complete ophthalmic examination, including fundoscopy and macular SD-OCT/OCTA scans, was performed in consecutive SCD-patients (HbSS/HbSβ0/HbSβ+/HbSC genotype) during baseline and follow-up visits. SCR stage was based on fundoscopy instead of the Goldberg classification, since fluorescein angiography was not routinely used.

Purpose: To report one-year real-world evidence on intraocular inflammation (IOI) adverse events (AEs) in patients undergoing faricimab therapy in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods: A retrospective review of electronic medical records was conducted for patients receiving faricimab treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) at Moorfields Eye Hospital between September 1st, 2022, and August 31st, 2023. The primary outcome was the incidence of IOI (excluding endophthalmitis).

Purpose: To evaluate the potency and security of Pneumatic Vitreolysis (PVL) as the primary treatment for Full-Thickness Macular Holes (FTMHs) and provide insights into patient selection criteria and procedural outcomes.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis of three clinical cases presenting with FTMHs treated initially with PVL was conducted. Cases were evaluated for anatomical and functional outcomes through comprehensive ophthalmic examination and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.
