Noninfectious uveitis is a leading cause of visual impairment with an unmet need for additional treatment options.
Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC) is a rare manifestation of syphilis. Most cases respond to systemic treatment the underlying Treponema pallidum infection. The authors illustrate natural progression untreated ASPPC with multimodal retinal imaging.
Purpose: To examine postoperative outcomes of internal limiting membrane peeling (ILMP) versus flap (ILMF) in the closure full thickness macular holes (FTMH). Methods: Retrospective chart review patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and gas tamponade with ILMP or ILMF to close FTMH at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist from January 2012 October 2022 least 3 months follow up. Main outcome measures were type 1 primary best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) mean logMAR. Results: 130 30 eyes...
Cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) is associated with various malignancies, including small cell lung cancer (SCLC). It difficult to recognize, but prompt diagnosis crucial for the patient, as may be a herald sign that precedes systemic manifestations by months, thus allowing early treatment of underlying malignancy.We present rare case CAR chorioretinitis and optic neuritis in patient occult SCLC. The presented rapidly progressive peripheral field loss photopsias "prism-like" visual...
Resistant strains of cytomegalovirus can be difficult to treat in cases congenital retinitis. The authors describe a case recurrent bilateral retinitis an immunocompetent newborn with ganciclovir resistance successfully treated uniquely dual therapy intravenous and foscarnet intravitreal injections foscarnet. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2016;53:e58-e60.].
To describe a case of Blau panuveitis, characterized on both portable and tabletop wide-field fluorescein angiography, which resolved systemic immunosuppression.A 5-year-old female presented with bilateral eye pain, redness, decreased visual acuity due to panuveitis had history arthritis, tenosynovitis, dermatitis. Similar ocular findings in the patient's mother maternal half-brother prompted genetic testing that confirmed diagnosis rare syndrome. Portable Retcam Optos angiography...
To report a case of endogenous Exophiala dermatitidis endophthalmitis.An immunosuppressed patient with history hairy cell leukemia undergoing chemotherapy presents rapidly progressing panophthalmitis. The was treated medically without improvement and underwent pars plana vitrectomy which showed multiple retinal abscesses. Vitreous fluid cultures grew rare fungal organism, dermatitidis.This is the first reported E. causing endophthalmitis. Rare organisms can present rapid progression to...

Exam revealed vitritis, macula-involving infiltrative retinitis, neuritis, vasculitis eye. The patient was treated empirically for viral retinitis intravitreal foscarnet...
To determine the results and complications from use of ganciclovir implants to treat patients with HIV infection cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.The present study was a retrospective review 87 consecutive implant surgeries performed in 60 over 3 year period.Based on study, are an efficacious therapy for CMV retinitis but associated significant postoperative complications, including retinal detachment (12.0%), vitreous haemorrhage (7.2%) cataract formation (6.0%). In this series, all...
A 27-year-old woman presented with bilateral blurry vision for 2 weeks. She had a presumed diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hyper-tension given her disc edema; however, and retinal infiltration was noted on ophthalmoscopy.

The current role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging in the diagnosis management uveitis is summarized this article. OCT can be useful to detect monitor cystoid macular edema epiretinal membrane, two findings that are very common intermediate, posterior pan-uveitis. Both FAF demonstrate unique several forms including birdshot chorioretinopathy, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, zonal occult...
