Outcomes of plaque radiotherapy for retinoblastoma
The study authors evaluate their experience of plaque radiotherapy for retinoblastoma (RB) in 41 eyes of 41 patients that failed intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC). This was a retrospective review including 21 females and 20 males. Median age was 18 months and...
Retinoblastoma chemotherapeutic drugs and their toxic effects on RPE cells
There is reported clinical evidence of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) alterations after intra-arterial (IAC) and intravitreal chemotherapy (IViC) of retinoblastoma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cellular toxic effects of melphalan, topotecan and carboplatin on the RPE...
Saccades and contrast sensitivity in retinoblastoma survivors
The authors report a cross-sectional study, which recruited children aged 5 to 18 years old who completed treatment completion for retinoblastoma more than six months ago. Exclusion criteria included bilateral enucleation and pre-existing conditions associated with cognitive impairment. A total...
Ten-year experience with intracameral chemotherapy for aqueous seeding in retinoblastoma: long-term efficacy, safety and toxicity
This is a retrospective review of all consecutive patients with primary (n=4) or secondary non-iatrogenic (n=16) aqueous seeding (AS) treated by intracameral chemotherapy (ICC) in Lausanne between 2011 and 2020 with a minimum follow-up of one year. Aqueous seeding control...The clues of the eye – what is medical ophthalmology?
The author looks at the increasingly significant role of medical ophthalmologists and the importance of integrative healthcare. The eye is a remarkable organ, and for decades we have been discovering intimations of pathology existing elsewhere in the body [1] simply...
RPE atrophy onset in treated nAMD
In this study the authors aim to evaluate the role of various factors for the development of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy over a period of five years in patients with nAMD. Fifty-two newly diagnosed nAMD patients with complete absence...
Ocular complications in retinal vasculitis
In this retrospective study the authors aimed to characterise the incidence rates of visual loss and ocular complications associated with retinal vasculitis (RV – annual incidence of 1-2/ 100000/ per annum). A secondary objective was to compare the visual outcomes...
The natural history of treatment naïve choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in geographic atrophy
The aim of this retrospective study is to assess the characteristics and natural history of quiescent CNV in geographic atrophy (GA) utilising multi-modal imaging. Case notes were reviewed of patients diagnosed with geographic atrophy between January 2010 and December 2016...
Does intravitreal bevacizumab help in diabetic retinopathy related vitreous haemorrhage?
This retrospective, interventional case series, aimed to assess the effectiveness of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) in vitreous haemorrhage secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The primary outcome was the rate of vitrectomy (PPV) after IVB, with secondary outcomes the number of IVB...
Endophthalmitis after intravitreal injections in France
In this nationwide, retrospective, multicentre case series, the authors looked at the incidence and characteristics of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injections of anti-VEGFs and steroids, given for a variety of posterior segment conditions (macular oedema secondary to diabetes or retinal vein...My top five: Emerging alternatives to manage and treat nAMD
Wet (exudative or neovascular) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterised by choroidal neovascularisation, in which new blood vessels from the choroid invade through Bruch’s membrane. These blood vessels proliferate beneath or through the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), causing patients to...
