Growing evidence has demonstrated that peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are novel structures rather than a subtype of optic disc drusen. They correspond to the laterally bulging herniation of optic nerve fibers and are believed to be the marker of axoplasmic stasis. PHOMS present in a broad spectrum of diseases, including optic disc drusen, tilted disc syndrome, papilloedema, multiple sclerosis, non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, optic neuritis, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and so on.

The aim of this study was to describe the phenotype of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy occurring in pediatric females. This disease generally affects young adult males, but it can occur also in females, and research data in this population is lacking. The very early onset can challenge the diagnosis and delay treatment.

Rationale: We report the case of a patient who developed asymptomatic bilateral papillitis after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination.
Patient Concerns: A 61-year-old man presented to our tertiary clinic with bilateral optic disc edema, which was incidentally detected during his visit to a primary ophthalmology clinic. He had received an adenovirus-vectored COVID-19 vaccine 2 weeks before the optic disc edema was detected and had experienced no ocular discomfort, except for a floater in his right eye.

Goal: This paper describes a case of a long-term monitoring of a patient with optic nerve swelling on the ocular background (papilledema), accompanied by symptoms of intracranial hypertension, on whom a genetic examination was performed as part of differential diagnosis, confirming Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy with the m.3460G>A mutation. Casuistry: During the examination of a 5-year-old patient after an alleged head injury at a bouncy castle, an optic nerve papilla with unclear boundaries was described on the ocular background of both eyes.

Background/aims: Optic neuritis (ON) is the primary ophthalmic manifestation of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG-associated disorder (MOGAD), but numerous reports have expanded the visual manifestations of this condition. The goal of this study was to synthesise the extensive literature on this topic to help ophthalmologists understand when testing for MOG-IgG should be considered.
Method: A systematic review of the English-language literature was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and searches were conducted using Ovid MEDLINE (from January 1, 1948 to April 1, 2020) and Ovid EMBASE (from January 1, 1947 to April 1, 2020).
