A 36 year-old woman with idiopathic intracranial hypertension was treated with topiramate and acetazolamide. The patient was followed-up for 2 years, with a relationship between neurosensory detachments and topiramate being established, with recurrences after the introduction of topiramato and improvement after its withdrawal. These findings point topiramate as a possible cause of the clinical picture. Topiramate may cause retinal and macular neurosensory detachments. Although the ciliochoroidal effusion cases caused by this drug are well-known, its retinal side effects are less common. As it is a widely used drug, neurologists and ophthalmologists should be aware of its possible ocular side effects.

Prevalence of Idiopathic Macular Hole in a Specialized Ophthalmological Referral Center: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study (2018-2022).

December 2024
Ophthalmology Department, University of Kansas School of Medicine, Kansas City, USA.
Background: An idiopathic macular hole (IMH) is a foveal opening in the neurosensory retina caused by perifoveal vitreomacular traction and detachment. IMH prevalence varies considerably across populations, highlighting a need for further investigation, especially in underrepresented groups such as Hispanics.
Methods: This retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study analyzed IMH prevalence in a Hispanic population over four years.
Intravitreal steroid-associated central serous chorioretinopathy.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a known side effect of systemic steroid therapy. The role of intravitreal steroids in causing CSC is controversial. We present two cases of acute CSC that developed after intravitreal steroid injections.

Department of Ophthalmology, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Purpose: Autologous retinal transplantation has been successfully employed in the treatment of large and myopic macular holes that are refractory to standard surgical treatments. Patients transplanted with a peripheral neurosensory retinal graft have shown unexpected improvements in visual acuity. The study aims to investigate if neural integration of the graft takes place in a porcine model of retinal hole.

October 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida.
Purpose: Spectral-domain OCT angiography (SD-OCTA) scans were used in an algorithm developed for swept-source OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) scans to determine if SD-OCTA scans yielded similar results for the measurement of hyperreflective foci (HRF) in intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD).
Design: Retrospective study.
Participants: Forty eyes from 35 patients with iAMD.

Electronic address:
Background: This study investigated the association between photoreceptor structural restoration and visual function outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for closed macular holes (MHs). Using adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) and microperimetry, we aimed to provide a more detailed understanding of photoreceptor recovery and visual improvement in closed MHs.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of 31 eyes of 28 patients who underwent vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling to treat idiopathic MHs.
