Fundus Autofluorescence Variation in Geographic Atrophy of Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Clinicopathologic Correlation.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of New York, New York, United States.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop ground-truth histology about contributors to variable fundus autofluorescence (FAF) signal and thus inform patient selection for treating geographic atrophy (GA) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: One woman with bilateral multifocal GA, foveal sparing, and thick choroids underwent 535 to 580 nm excitation FAF in 6 clinic visits (11 to 6 years before death). The left eye was preserved 5 hours after death.
Gamna-Gandy bodies in renal neoplasms: A multi-institutional clinicopathologic study of 350 consecutive nephrectomies.

Gamna-Gandy (GG) bodies are sclerosiderotic nodules composed of iron pigment and calcium, that have been described predominantly in the spleens of patients with sickle cell disease. Their formal depiction in the kidney is mainly limited to case reports and small series. We aimed to investigate the incidence of GG bodies and associated clinicopathologic features in consecutive nephrectomies performed for renal tumors.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is an exceptionally rare inflammatory disorder affecting choroid and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Although recent studies suggest an immune-driven nature, the underlying etiology of APMPPE remains elusive. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation on the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) profile of an APMPPE patient using single-cell RNA sequencing.

To present a pediatric patient with a unique configuration of torpedo maculopathy complicated by macular choroidal neovascularization (CNV). A single case was retrospectively reviewed. An 8-year-old male child presented with decreased vision in the left eye and was found to have 2 distinct torpedo maculopathy lesions, 1 a smaller hypopigmented lesion in the temporal parafovea and the other a larger hyperpigmented comet-shaped lesion in the temporal periphery.

Article Synopsis
- A 25-year-old man diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) showed distinct posterior segment abnormalities during examination, including bone spicule pigmentation and retinal atrophy.
- Findings from advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed unique wavy protrusions on the inner retinal surface, leading to non-cystic petaloid maculopathy and changes in choroidal thickness.
- The patient's condition not only highlighted the retinal involvement linked to a genetic variant but also raised concerns about potential syndromic associations, including a major depressive disorder requiring hospitalization.
