Background: Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by chorioretinal atrophy due to deficiency of the enzyme ornithine aminotransferase that can be complicated by intraretinal cystic spaces.
Case Report: A 15-year-old female complaining of gradually progressive diminution of vision in both eyes preceded by night blindness was found to have gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina with intraretinal cystic spaces that was evaluated using multimodal imaging including fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography. Functional and anatomical improvement of the intraretinal cystic spaces was achieved with monthly intravitreal bevacizumab injections.
Conclusion: Repeated intravitreal bevacizumab injections can result in anatomical and functional improvement of intraretinal cystic spaces in patients with gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina.

Shri Bhagwan Mahavir Vitreoretinal Services, Medical Research Foundation, Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
The aim of this study is to describe genotype and phenotype of patients with bestrophinopathy. The case records were reviewed retrospectively, findings of multimodal imaging such as color fundus photograph, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofluorescence, electrophysiological, and genetic tests were noted. Twelve eyes of six patients from distinct Indian families with molecular diagnosis were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
- A case study of a 101-year-old man highlighted an unusual macular hole (MH) linked to choroidal cavitation in a nonmyopic eye, alongside secondary choroidal neovascularization (CNV).
- The patient showed a yellow-orange lesion with a white center and some hemorrhage, identified through fundus examination and optical coherence tomography.
- Treatment with an intravitreal injection of antivascular endothelial growth factor led to a positive outcome, suggesting that choroidal cavitary conditions can occur outside typical profiles and may be visually significant.
Treatment and Characteristics of Pachychoroid Neovasculopathy Accompanying Recalcitrant Intraretinal Cysts.
Cureus
August 2024
Retina Center, Nune Eye Hospital, Seoul, KOR.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics associated with chronic pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) accompanying recalcitrant intraretinal cysts.
Methods: This is a retrospective, single-center, case-series study involving 20 eyes of 18 patients with PNV who did not respond to bevacizumab or ranibizumab and had to switch to aflibercept. Optical coherence tomography images were assessed before and after switching of intravitreal injection drug.

Article Synopsis
- Photodynamic venous occlusion is a method used to create retinal vein occlusion (RVO) models in mice, with variations in laser energy impacting the severity of retinopathy and the rate of vein recanalization in acute and chronic phases.* -
- After testing different laser energies, a 100mW setting was found to balance moderate retinopathy with less venous recanalization for acute RVO, while 120mW was preferred for chronic RVO due to its low recanalization rate.* -
- Imaging confirmed that day 1 post-RVO is critical for observing peak retinal thickness and edema, supporting the model's clinical relevance and potential for testing treatment responses, especially to anti-VE
Background: To evaluate, in patients undergoing macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery (RRD), the correlation between preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) morphological features and postoperative visual acuity.
Methods: Retrospective interventional non-randomised clinical trial on 89 eyes of 89 patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy for macula-off primary RRD at Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli from 2020 to 2023. Preoperative 6×6 mm OCT B scans with Nidek Mirante (Nidek, Gamagori, Japan) were performed, collecting the following features: foveal involvement (fovea-on vs fovea-off), subretinal hyper-reflective points (HRPs), outer retinal corrugations (ORCs) and intraretinal cystic spaces (ICS) in the outer nuclear layer.
