To study ocular axial lengths in pediatric subjects without intraocular pathology.An Institutional Review Board-approved consecutive retrospective chart review of measured who underwent examination under anesthesia due to positive family history retinoblastoma or other inherited disease. Only any pathology either eye were included. Subjects stratified into age groups. An length model using a logarithmic regression algorithm was calculated.Data from 330 eyes 165 included the study. The mean...
<i >Objective</i>. To investigate the efficacy of two different dosing strategies radioactive iodine-125 (<sup >125</sup>I) in management small- and medium-sized posterior uveal melanoma. >Patients Methods</i>. The medical records consecutive patients with choroidal melanomas between 1.5 5.0 mm apical height treated initially <sup >125</sup>I plaque radiotherapy were reviewed. Patients one following treatment strategies: (1) 85 Gy to tumor (group 1) or (2) a prescription point...
To evaluate the impact of intravitreal bevacizumab combined with laser vascular ablation in management advanced Coats' disease presenting exudative retinal detachment.This was a retrospective review 24 children that presented detachments associated disease. Mean patient age 62 months (range 9-160 months). Presenting signs included detachment (100%), telangiectasia and ischemia (100%). Twenty elevated, leakage fovea (83%). Two sub-retinal fibrosis presumed long-standing without evidence...
Purpose: To evaluate the class 2 gene expression profiling of patients with small and medium-small uveal melanoma, focusing on tumor control, metastases, mortality. Methods: This retrospective case series evaluated treated for or melanoma by same surgeon. Patients were microincision vitrectomy surgery brachytherapy, brachytherapy. All 2. Results: Forty-two (21 a diagnosis melanoma; 21 melanoma) mean age 58 years confirmed identified. The melanoma-specific mortality at 5-year follow-up was...
Retinal astrocytic hamartoma or retinal astrocytoma is the best-known ocular manifestation of tuberous sclerosis complex, a neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by development multiple disseminated hamartomas. It can have several clinical presentations, ranging from unilateral transparent, noncalcified lesions to bilateral multinodular, mulberrylike calcified tumors. Symptoms appear if tumor involves macula and cause visual loss on basis progressive degeneration. The authors report case...
To report the impact of COVID-19 on retina practices in three different "hot spot" cities United States.The authors assessed data encounters and intravitreal injections from March 16th to May 8th 2020, at offices specializing States. All are located hot spot zones. One practice was an academic setting, one a private multispecialty solo vitreo-retina practice. were focused emergent/urgent care, results compared preCOVID-19 weekly averages.A significant decrease number revealed all centers...
To report a consecutive series of compassionate, off-label use intravitreal brolucizumab as rescue therapy for complex, non-responsive macular edema. This delineates primary diagnosis, indications treatment, adverse events, and visual anatomic outcomes after brolucizumab.A retrospective review clinical case 110 eyes treated with between January 1st March 1st. 2020. All patients were included if they received in an delivery had ongoing edema the setting prior, multiple anti-VEGF and/or...
Presumed congenital simple hamartoma of the retinal pigment epithelium (CSHRPE) is a rare intraocular finding that described as focal, nodular, jet black lesion. These lesions frequently occur at or near macula and have no known association with changes in surrounding neurosensory retina, epithelium, choroid, nor they been related exudation hemorrhage. Until now, there cases reported CSHRPE associated vascular activity.A 14-year-old Hispanic adolescent girl presumed presented adjacent...
Gene expression profiling has been shown to yield two distinct molecular genetic signatures for uveal melanoma. These class designations tend predict tumor aggressiveness and the likelihood of metastasis. Tumors with a 1 signature are generally much less aggressive than tumors 2 signature. analysis previously treated melanoma not yet reported. The authors report three cases where was successfully obtained from that years earlier radiotherapy.The patients in all received globe-conserving...
Background. Optic disk melanocytoma is a primary tumor of the optic that represents clinical diagnostic challenge due to its similarities with melanoma. Purpose. The authors present three cases in which genetic expression profiling was used identify prognosis melanocytoma. Case Series. In two fine-needle aspiration biopsy performed obtain tissue through transvitreal route into apex while patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy, laser ablation, phacoemulsification posterior chamber...
Purpose: To present 2 cases of large atypical melanocytomas that simulate melanoma. Methods: The largest risk factors for malignant transformation from melanocytoma into melanoma are a combination lesions with thickness greater than mm, visual symptoms, and tumor margin at the disc. patients in this report were chosen because they both presented these their lesions. Results: Because properly identified as optic disc, decision was made to monitor them closely treat associated vascular...
Purpose: To examine the trends and outcomes in management of Coats disease evaluate effects a staged therapeutic approach using transpupillary laser vascular ablation, intravitreal (IVT) bevacizumab, adjunct as-needed posterior sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide (used only cases with persistent active exudation) on globe retention, anatomic status, visual acuity (VA). Methods: An evaluation was performed from 2005 to 2023. Previous case series published literature were reviewed. In total,...
A retrospective analysis was performed of patients who received a paracentesis immediately following an intravitreal injection bevacizumab or triamcinolone acetonide. These were previously diagnosed as having glaucoma, ocular hypertension, had responded with sustained elevated intraocular pressure. Of 1661 procedures performed. Totally 219 (13%) the injections on phakic patients. median (SD) 210 μL (40 μL) aqueous removed during each paracentesis. There no reported incidences any...
Introduction . Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common eye tumor in children. There have been significant improvements treatment options targeting killing while also conserving and attempting to conserve functional vision. Retinal detachment (RD) not an uncommon event compromises vision sometimes RB treatment. Materials Methods Retrospective review of 62 patients over a period 8 years between 2012 2019 with eyes treated for having persistent RD that did resolve after complete regression....
This work presents a case of secondary maculopathy associated with the use erdafitinib (Balversa) for management bladder urothelial carcinoma bony metastasis.A report is presented.A 58-year-old Hispanic man presented blurry vision 3 weeks after starting metastases carcinoma. A comprehensive evaluation identified multiple areas subretinal fluid induced by erdafitinib. Throughout treatment, ocular condition progressed, causing worsening vision; this led to discontinuation drug. Discontinuation...
The purpose of this case series was to evaluate the features circumscribed choroidal hemangioma on pseudocolor ultrawide-field (UWF) retinal images simulating melanoma and compare it fundoscopic appearance. All four patients underwent full ophthalmological examination, including dilated fundus ultrasonography, UWF imaging (UWFI). appeared clinically as orange-red lesions which were echodense with regular internal structure ultrasonography. green-grey in color UWFI. Pseudocolor UWFI...
SIGNIFICANCE This article reports two cases reported of combined treatment with topical dorzolamide and intravitreal bevacizumab injections, successfully treating small full-thickness macular hole without the need for traditional surgery. PURPOSE study aimed to report potential effectiveness combination injection therapy holes. CASE REPORTS Case 1 was a 68-year-old woman presented distorted decreased vision in her right eye 9 months. Fundus examination showed hole, which confirmed spectral...
The authors present three cases in which spectral-domain optical coherence tomography was used to identify fine-needle aspiration biopsy incision sites. These biopsies were performed obtain tissue for gene expression profiling of choroidal tumors. A transvitreal route into the apex tumors utilized while patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy, membrane peel, laser ablation, phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide. To...
