Management and outcomes of congenital fibrovascular pupillary membranes (CFPM)
Congenital fibrovascular pupillary membranes (CFPM) is defined as a white fibrous membrane across the pupil which may be an ectopic iris tissue arising from the aberrant migration of neural crest cells or a variant of persistent fetal vasculature. The authors...Macula re-attachment following intravitreal ranibizumab in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
Ranibizumab (Lucentis) is a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (anti-VEGF) used for treatment of choroidal neovascular membrane [1]. We report a case where macula off inferior rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was misdiagnosed as wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and three intravitreal...A Multidisciplinary Approach to Neovascular Glaucoma in a Patient with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia
An 84-year-old Caucasian male attended eye casualty with a four month history of reduced vision, a dull ache and photophobia in both eyes. He had also reported dizziness, weakness and intermittent epistaxis in the nine months prior to presentation. There...
OCT in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
This report set out to describe the anatomical relationships between retinal neovascular complexes (NVC), the posterior vitreous, and the vitreoretinal interface in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy using spectral domain OCT. The following was recorded for each NVC 1) posterior...
Elevated risk of mood disorders after recurrent retinal detachment
This study was aimed to investigate the risk of mood disorders in patients who experienced retinal detachment (RD) by using the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. A total of 4129 participants diagnosed with RD and 16,516 non-RD individuals...Third nerve palsy
Case scenarios A 71-year-old female presented to a nearby eye emergency unit with two days history of partial ptosis in her left eye with diplopia. She saw her GP earlier that day and he asked her to go to the...
Outcomes of adult new-onset strabismus presenting acutely
This study evaluated causes, neuroimaging rates and results, and clinical courses of adults presenting to an ophthalmology emergency department with diagnosis of new-onset strabismus. This was a retrospective study of 557 adults (54.8% male) with mean age of 57.3 ±16.7...
Retinoblastoma in older children
Retinoblastoma is the most common ophthalmic malignancy in childhood and over 90% are diagnosed before the age of five years. It is not often suspected in older children given its rarity and unusual clinical findings which complicates the diagnosis. The...Initiatives in macular service provision
A report from Monitor in October 2015 identifies good practices that will realise most of the potential productivity gain in elective care available to NHS hospitals. These include: stratifying patients by risk and creating low-complexity pathways for lower-risk patients (tailoring...Radiation retinopathy
The authors review the current treatment options for this condition. Radiation retinopathy (RR) occurs as a complication after exposure to any type of radiation (external beam, plaque brachytherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery) in the orbital or adnexal region. These include nasopharyngeal...
Multimodal imaging in wet AMD
This novel study set out to determine grader agreement levels of various retinal imaging techniques, commonly used in the diagnosis of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Images from 52 eyes were by examined by two different observers. All images were...
