Background: Patterns of ganglion cell complex (GCC) loss detected by optical coherence tomography provide an objective measure optic nerve injury. These patterns aid in early diagnosis and localization chiasmal lesions. Methods: Twenty-three patients with compression seen between 2010 2015 were imaged the Cirrus high-definition macular cube 512 × 128, retinal fiber layer (RNFL) scan protocols automated (30-2 Humphrey) visual fields (VFs). Age-matched controls included for comparison....
To the Editors, POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes) syndrome is a rare plasma cell disorder where diagnostic criteria include presence of cells polyneuropathy at least one major (sclerotic bone lesions, elevated vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], or Castleman disease), minor (volume overload, changes, polycythemia, thrombocytosis) [1]. Due to heterogeneity manifestations, challenging diagnosis for clinicians make with median...
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a fluid maculopathy whose etiology not well understood. Abnormal choroidal veins in CSC patients have been shown to similarities with varicose veins. To identify potential mechanisms, we analyzed genotype data from 1,477 and 455,449 controls FinnGen. We identified an association for low-frequency (AF=0.5%) missense variant (rs113791087) the gene encoding vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE-PTP) (OR=2.85, P=4.5×10
Background/aims Vitrectomy to repair retinal detachment is often performed with either non-contact wide-angle viewing systems or contact systems. The purpose of this study assess whether the system used associated any differences in surgical outcomes vitrectomy for primary non-complex repair. Methods This a multicenter, interventional, retrospective, comparative study. Eyes that underwent by pars plana (PPV) alone combination scleral buckle/PPV 2015 were evaluated. at time was identified and...
The use of checkpoint inhibitors has been associated with multiple ocular and orbital complications including Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. In the current case, a 55-year-old man presented visual changes 3 months following discontinuation nivolumab for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This is second report delayed presentation inhibitor only case not an alternative targeted therapy at time presentation. article highlights unique inhibitor-associated summarizes reported cases.

This article describes two cases of delayed-onset Cutibacterium acnes ( C ) endophthalmitis 1 month after cataract surgery manifesting with unusual epiretinal deposits. Both patients were referred for persistent inflammation surgery. After failing to respond a vitreous tap injection antibiotics, the underwent pars plana vitrectomy and in one partial posterior capsulectomy capsular plaque. Intraoperatively, both found have multifocal The clinical presentations described here represent highly...
Background: Intracameral moxifloxacin is commonly used following intraocular surgery to prevent endophthalmitis. Pigment dispersion a rare complication of use that has mainly been reported systemic administration. Case presentation: We report case unilateral pigment three weeks after open-globe repair with intracameral presenting pain, redness, photophobia, elevated pressure, marked liberation, new iris transillumination defects and deposits on the anterior surface. Conclusion: Symptomatic...
To investigate the impact of phacoemulsification on posterior vitreous detachment formation in eyes with vitreomacular traction (VMT) or without macular holes.A retrospective search medical records was conducted to identify patients VMT who underwent cataract surgery at Mass Eye and Ear from 2016 2021. Patient demographics, ocular comorbidities, clinical characteristics were extracted record, optical coherence tomography images assessed confirm presence a lamellar full-thickness hole (FMTH)....

Purpose: This work aims to examine the vitreous of autopsy patients with COVID-19 for presence SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Methods: Four deceased had an at Massachusetts General Hospital. Two control specimens were obtained from undergoing retinal detachment repair negative preoperative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing Vitreous after povidone was placed on ocular surface decrease risk contamination specimen. RNA gene N (nucleocapsid) tested using reverse transcription–PCR. Results: detected in 2...
