Intravitreal ranibizumab induces rapid, complete regression of high-risk posterior ROP with continued retina growth peripherally. The potential for recurrent ROP after a single 0.2 mg ranibizumab injection for posterior ROP requires vigilant monitoring. Subsequent peripheral laser for ROP recurrences may spare the posterior retina from photocoagulation effects.
Background and Objective
To measure the subfoveal choroidal thickness in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) over 6 months.
Study Design/Patients and Methods
A retrospective, observational study of patients with AMD followed for 6 months at the New England Eye Center. Baseline and 6 month subfoveal choroidal thickness was measured using spectral domain OCT and compared.
Results
For the entire cohort there was statistically significant thinning of the subfoveal choroidal thickness at 6 months compared to baseline, which was driven by the cohort of patients with neovascular AMD [181.2 +/− 75 μm to 173.4 +/− 63 μm] p=0.049. (Figure and Table 1).
Conclusions
There was a statistically significant decrease in subfoveal choroidal thickness observed in this cohort of patients with AMD over 6 months, but it was driven by one subgroup, those patients with neovascular age related macular degeneration.
Commotio retinae is rarely associated with a serous retinal detachment. This presentation is important to identify as it can avoid unnecessary workup and treatment.
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.
