Background: The study aimed to confirm the multimodal imaging of occult macular dystrophy (OMD) with two heterozygous mutations, including an unreported heterozygous EYS mutation.
Methods: The study utilised several diagnostic methods, including Optos wide-field imaging, Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW), optical coherence tomography (OCT), multifocal electroretinogram (mf-ERG), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and green light autofluorescence (FAF-G) imaging, and genetic testing.
Results: The mf-ERG imaging demonstrated decreased P1 amplitudes in both eyes. This was consistent with the FAF-G imaging and OCT results, confirming the bilateral discontinuity of photoreceptors in the macular region. FFA and ICGA revealed persistent macular hypoperfusion not only within the photoreceptors of the macular area but also in the choriocapillaris. Next-generation sequencing results confirmed the presence of two heterozygous mutations in the patient: RP1L1 (c.4273G>C: p. Asp1425His), a hotspot mutation for OMD, and an unreported EYS mutation (c.7382T>A: p. Leu2461Ter) commonly found in retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Analysis using AlphaFold2 further confirmed the impact of the EYS c.7382T>A: p. Leu2461Ter variant on the functional protein conformation.
Conclusion: We report an unreported heterozygous EYS mutation that could serve as a promising diagnostic marker for OMD.

An unusual pAIR: Anti-PKM2 antibody and occult pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

Geisinger Eye Institute, Danville, PA, USA.
Purpose: To describe the clinical, laboratory and multimodal imaging findings in paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy (p-AIR) associated with anti-pyruvate kinase M2 antibody (anti-PKM2) and occult pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Observations: A 70 year old male with blurred vision, nyctalopia and concurrent difficulty with glucose control had retinal vascular attenuation and diffuse punctate pigment clumping in both eyes. Multimodal imaging demonstrated corresponding stippled hypofluorescence on fluorescein angiography, stippled hyperautofluorescence and a hyperautoflourescent macular ring with fundus autofluorescence, and focal hyperreflectivity at the level of the RPE-Bruch's membrane complex with diffuse loss of outer retinal layers on ocular coherence tomography.
Clinical characteristics and long-term treatment outcomes of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy with classic type leakage.

To investigate long-term treatment outcomes of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with classic type leakage and to compare the outcomes with those of PCV without classic type leakage. This retrospective study included 153 patients diagnosed with PCV and treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Patients showing classic type leakage on fluorescein angiography were included in the classic type leakage group (N = 40, 26.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate the clinical and retinal imaging features of Chinese patients with acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) linked to COVID-19, indicating an increase in cases associated with the pandemic.
- The study involved thorough retinal imaging assessments and revealed that many patients experienced a short interval between fever onset and eye symptoms, with a majority showing bilateral effects.
- Notable retinal changes included hemorrhages and specific lesions that differ from typical presentations of AMN, highlighting potential biomarkers for microcirculation issues in COVID-19 patients.*

This report presents a unique case of a 77-year-old diabetic male patient with bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), who was receiving multiple bilateral intravitreal injections for a presumed diagnosis of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The fundus examination did not show any signs of AMD or diabetic retinopathy (DR). The spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed bilateral subretinal fluid.
