Peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome (PPS) is a recently described condition, classified within the pachychoroid disease spectrum characterized by focal or diffuse thickening of the choroid due to dilation of choroidal vessels in the Haller's layer (pachyvessels), thinning of the choriocapillaris and the Sattler's layer, and accompanied by increased choroidal permeability and damage to the retinal pigment epithelium. Unlike other pachychoroid diseases that involve changes in the central retina, PPS presents with choroidal thickening and intra- or subretinal fluid located nasally in the macular region, near the optic disc. This review aims to summarize and analyze current data on the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment options for PPS found in the literature.

Introduction: This study aims to summarize the retinal and choroidal microvascular features detected by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in the affected and fellow eyes of patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, and Ovid databases was conducted to identify studies comparing OCTA metrics among RVO, RVO-fellow, and control eyes. Outcomes of interest included parameters related to foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and fovea- and optic nerve head (ONH)-centered perfusion measurements of superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and choriocapillaris layer.

Purpose: To analyze patients with optic disc drusen (ODD), with emphasis on modern diagnostics.
Materials And Methods: Research of the literature was conducted, together with a retrospective statistical analysis of patients with ODD. The group included individuals with ODD diagnosed using at least one of the following (ultrasound - USG, optical coherence tomography - OCT, fundus autofluorescence - FAF).

The treatment of demyelinating optic neuritis (DON) in pregnant patients is challenging, especially when there is poor or no response to intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) therapy or adjunctive treatments such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. We herein report a case of a 28-year-old pregnant woman who experienced sequential severe vision loss in both eyes. She presented to a local hospital with the main complaint of sudden, painless vision loss in the left eye and was diagnosed with DON in the left eye.

Background: To execute comprehensive study about optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in fibromyalgia (FM) to elaborate macula, optic disk changes.
Methods: A total of 84 participants comprising 44 FM patients and 40 healthy controls were included. Macular full thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL)+, GCL++, superficial vessel density (SVD), deep vessel density (DVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ), circumpapillary vessel density (cpVD), RNFL measurements were evaluated using OCT/OCTA.
