Non-infectious endophthalmitis was observed significantly more often after KE injections (7.3%) than after PFTA injections (1.2%) (p<0.05). An inflammatory reaction was more clinically relevant in the KE group than in the PFTA group.
StratusOCT provided valuable information, allowing for the exclusion of other disorders that might mimic UAIM. mfERG findings were consistent with transient outer retinal dysfunction as the cause of visual loss. We are unaware of previous reports of UAIM studied by these methods and could find no reference to them in a computerized search using MEDLINE.
Initial BCVA may be a reliable predictor of the visual outcome in central serous chorioretinopathy. Eyes with worse BCVA may have an increased risk of foveal atrophy. Fluid persistence on optical coherence tomography may be associated with worse visual prognosis.
Epiretinal membrane removal with and without ILM peeling shows similar functional and anatomical improvements, but the group in which the ILM was not removed seemed to have a higher recurrence rate.
Short-term results with IVB for the treatment of exudative AMD have been promising. However, the chronic retinal and pigment epithelium changes frequently present in eyes that underwent multiple previous treatments may limit complete visual recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the use of IVB for this particular group of AMD patients.
The use of third generation OCT afforded an enhanced visualization of retinal structures, revealing signs of fluid at several distinct levels, as well as deep and superficial inner breaks apart from the schisis cavity. We are unaware of such previous reports, and could find no reference to them in a computerized search using MEDLINE. In addition, our study supports a common pathomechanism for the development of macular complications in optic pits and colobomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
