Good visual outcomes were observed in half of retinoblastoma patients treated with eye preservation. Macular location and International classification of retinoblastoma group C and D predicted poor visual acuity, while previous radiotherapy predicted foveal thinning, which was associated with poor visual acuity.
Ultra-wide field imaging of pigmented para-venous retino-choroidal atrophy sheds light onto the widespread retino-choroidal abnormalities. Concurrent disc and macular involvement may jeopardize the visual function. Pigmented para-venous retino-choroidal atrophy may be considered as a self-limited form of retinitis pigmentosa.
Two eyes of 2 patients with macular hole-associated retinal detachment in clinically diagnosed vitelliruptive stage of Best vitelliform dystrophy were surgically managed by 25-gauge sutureless pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling with inverted ILM flap, and short-acting (SF6) gas tamponade. The patients were assessed with respect to best-corrected visual acuity, color fundus photographs, shortwave fundus autofluorescence, and swept source optical coherence tomography. Surgical intervention led to Type 1 closure of macular hole, resolution of retinal detachment, and improvement in vision in both patients.
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.
