PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate mean platelet volume (MPV) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values and their relationship with clinical findings in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).MethodsOverall, 87 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria and 320 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals as controls were included in the study. The CSCR patients (n=87) were classified into 2 groups as acute CSCR (group 1, n=43) and chronic CSCR (group 2, n=44).ResultsIt was found that NLR (P<0.05) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (P<0.05) values were higher in acute CSCR group than the other groups. MPV value was found to be higher in chronic CSCR group than the other groups (P<0.001).ConclusionIt seems that neutrophils play a major role in acute CSCR while platelets are involved in progression to chronic CSCR. Larger, prospective studies are needed on this topic.

This is first study in which nailfold capillary assessment was performed in patients with CSCR, and we detected major capillaroscopic changes. These findings suggest that CSCR can be a systemic microvasculopathy. Further studies are needed to clarify the diagnostic and prognostic value of capillaroscopy in CSCR.

The overall risk of enucleation was 75% in eyes with unilateral retinoblastoma and 24% in eyes with bilateral retinoblastoma. Extraocular retinoblastoma carries a 75% risk of systemic metastasis and 67% risk of death.

Purpose The purpose of this report is to present a case who had spontaneous macular hole closure after Nd:YAG laser membranotomy applied to premacular haemorrhage associated with Valsalva retinopathy. Methods Case report. Results A 19-year-old young male patient presented to our clinic with sudden vision loss in his right eye, which had occurred 2 weeks before, following push-up and sit-up exercise. The patient was found to have premacular haemorrhage associated with Valsalva retinopathy. Nd:YAG laser membranotomy was performed. During his follow-up at week 1, full-thickness MH was observed and he was put under observation. At month 6, his vision acuity improved, laser coagulation sites in the fundus disappeared, and macular hole closed spontaneously. Conclusion Macular hole that develops after Nd:YAG laser treatment of Valsalva retinopathy may spontaneously be closed like in our case. However, there is a need for further research to understand the mechanism of closure.

Bien que la toxoplasmose oculaire soit généralement une infection spontanément résolutive, elle peut entraîner une réduction sévère de l'acuité visuelle en raison d'une inflammation intense du vitré ou d'une atteinte des structures du segment postérieur. Selon la gravité de l'inflammation intraoculaire, des complications graves, notamment la membrane épirétinienne ou le décollement de la rétine, peuvent se développer. Dans cet article, nous visons à présenter un cas compliqué à la fois par un trou maculaire de pleine épaisseur et un clivage rétinien secondaire à une choriorétinite toxoplasmique qui s'est développée peu de temps après la nouvelle maladie à coronavirus (COVID-19) et des discussions sur notre approche thérapeutique. Après que le patient ait été diagnostiqué sur la base d'un examen ophtalmologique de routine, d'une imagerie du fond d'œil et d'un examen sérologique, la récupération fonctionnelle et anatomique a été obtenue grâce à une antibiothérapie systémique et à une chirurgie vitréorétinienne. Le trou maculaire de pleine épaisseur et le décollement de la rétine sont des complications rares de la toxoplasmose oculaire. Cependant, il existe peu de publications dans la littérature concernant ces complications et leur traitement chirurgical. Dans ce rapport de cas, nous avons démontré le succès de la chirurgie vitréorétinienne associée à une antibiothérapie sur les complications du segment postérieur de la toxoplasmose oculaire.
