Hemiretinal vein occlusion with macular hemorrhage and edema treated with intravitreal bevacizumab
A 39-year-old male with decreased visual acuity and extensive macular hemorrhage and edema secondary to a hemiretinal vein occlusion was treated with multiple intravitreal injections of bevacizumab 1.25 mg every four to six weeks for over one year. Treatment outcomes were assessed by visual acuity and Cirrus spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Treatment resulted in ongoing visual and anatomic improvement, with resolution at the last visit
Posterior subhyaloid precipitates in cytomegalovirus retinitis
This study aims to report a novel finding of posterior subhyaloid precipitates (PSPs) in two patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.
A small case series was conducted.
Clinical findings, treatment, and follow-up of two patients with CMV and PSPs are presented.
Inflammatory precipitates may collect in the posterior subhyaloid space in acute CMV retinitis and resolve with treatment
Autoimmune Retinopathy and Paraneoplastic Syndromes
Autoimmune retinopathies and paraneoplastic retinopathies are rare ocular syndromes that can signal the presence of an underlying autoimmune condition or systemic malignancy. This chapter will present the pathogenesis, diagnostic features, and management strategies for cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR), melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR), and autoimmune-related retinopathy and optic neuropathy (ARRON)
