Acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy (AEPVM) is a rare retinal disorder first described by Gass in 1988. Characterized multifocal yellow-white lesions at the level of pigment epithelium (RPE) and associated with serous detachments, AEPVM typically presents acute visual disturbances and, some cases, headaches. Despite its rarity, fewer than 40 cases reported literature, clinical course etiology remain poorly understood. Patients generally experience gradual recovery vision,...
Purpose: Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome (MPSVI) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by an Arylsulfatase B ( ARSB ) deficiency, leading to dermatan sulfate and chondroitin-4-sulfate accumulation. It manifests various systemic clinical features. Enzyme Replacement Therapy with Galsulfase (Naglazyme) manages symptoms, but ocular manifestations, such as corneal opacity, often require surgery. This study examines histopathological features of corneas in patients MPSVI who underwent penetrating...
Purpose: This work aimed to longitudinally assess the peripapillary (PPCT) and subfoveal (SFCT) choroidal thickness (CT), in patients diagnosed with central (CRVO) or branch retinal vein occlusions (BRVO), correlating SFCT macular (CMT) PPCT nerve fiber layer (pRNFL). Patients Methods: was a retrospective longitudinal study of 71 eyes from treatment-naïve occlusion (24 CRVO 40 BRVO). Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT, Spectralis HRA-OCT, Heidelberg) used measure PPCT,...
Syphilis is a re-emerging infectious disease with various systemic manifestations, including ocular involvement, which can lead to significant morbidity if untreated. This study aims analyze the manifestations of syphilis in patients treated at Portuguese tertiary center over 14-year period.
Migraine, a neurological disorder often accompanied by symptoms such as visual disturbances, nausea, and photophobia, involves complex interactions between genetic environmental factors, while vascular factors are also implicated, influenced both predisposition triggers. This case report discusses 41-year-old male with history of migraine aura, presenting sudden left-eye loss. Comprehensive ophthalmologic examination revealed central scotoma, multimodal imaging, including spectral-domain...
Introduction: Vasoproliferative retinal tumors (VPRTs) are rare, benign lesions characterized by abnormal vascular proliferation. They may appear sporadically or with systemic conditions like von Hippel-Lindau disease, often resembling other and posing diagnostic challenges. VPRTs can lead to vision loss if not adequately managed. Current management ranges from observation different treatment strategies, laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, cryotherapy intravitreal injections...
