Mashup Score: 40Asymptomatic Juvenile White Retinal Arterioles - 2 day(s) ago
Fundus examination of the left eye of a healthy 19-year-old woman displayed continuous and segmental white arterioles including the macular branches (A, arrowheads). Visual acuity, perimetry (B), and fluorescein angiography including arteriovenous (C) and late venous (D) phases were normal and remained unchanged at 1 year. Fundus findings also remained identical. Lipemia retinalis (normal total cholesterol and triglycerides), inflammation (normal C-reactive protein and negative vasculitis serology), infectious diseases (negative borreliosis, Epstein Barr virus, varicella zoster virus, and herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 serology), arteriosclerosis, emboli, and hypercalcemia were ruled out.

Mashup Score: 12Obliterative Vasculitis as the Presenting Sign of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a 12-Year-Old - 2 day(s) ago
A 12-year-old previously healthy girl presented with painless loss of vision of the left eye. Visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye, and hand motion with an afferent pupillary defect in the left eye. Optic disc edema, macular edema, diffuse retinal hemorrhages, and retinal pallor (A) were noted. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated lack of both arterial and venous filling (B). Laboratory test results supported a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus with positive antinuclear antibody, double-stranded DNA, antiribonuclear protein, and anti-Smith antibodies.

Mashup Score: 36Dual Optic Disc Pit with Maculopathy - 3 day(s) ago
A 33-year-old otherwise healthy man presented with defective vision in his left eye with a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/32. The left optic disc had 2 pits, 1 at each edge, with maculopathy along with a retinochoroidal coloboma (color fundus photography; A, blue arrows indicate nasal and temporal optic disc pit, red arrow indicates serous retinal detachment, and yellow arrow indicates retinochoroidal coloboma; B, blue arrow indicates red-free image of the optic disc pit). OCT showed 2 pits with maculopathy (C, blue arrow indicates the temporal pit with maculopathy; D, blue arrow indicates the nasal pit).

Mashup Score: 7
A 42-year-old woman presented with reduced vision in the right eye for 1 year. A, A temporal optic disc pit with adjacent opacified vitreous was seen. B, OCT showed the opacified vitreous tightly adherent to the underlying retina and a tag of it plunging into the pit. C, An epiretinal membrane was seen over the macula connecting with the abnormal vitreous. Her vision was 20/60 with glasses and she refused surgery. It is possible that the dynamics of the vitreoretinal interface caused the aberrant fluid emanating from the pit to opacify the overlying vitreous over time.

Mashup Score: 37Bilateral Retinocytoma in a Child: A Rare Presentation - 10 day(s) ago
A 6-year-old boy with a maternal history of retinoblastoma had bilateral retinal tumors (right eye, A; left eye, B) surrounded by areas of dark without pressure. OCT demonstrated outer retinal and partly full-thickness tumors (right eye, A, inset) and full-thickness retinal tumor (left eye, B, inset). Fluorescein angiography revealed intratumoral vessels and peripheral staining (C, D). The tumors were hypoautofluorescent with hyperautofluorescent calcific foci (C, D, insets), suggesting bilateral retinocytoma.

Mashup Score: 16
A 7-year-old South Asian boy was referred to us for mild vitreous hemorrhage in his left eye. The child had received 2 cycles of intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) with melphalan in his second year of life for unilateral retinoblastoma. Fundus revealed healed, partly calcified retinoblastoma lesions and scars at the posterior pole (A, blue arrows) with tortuous arcade vessels and large neovascular fronds (NVs) near both the vascular arcades (A, yellow arrows), with peripheral avascular retina. Fundus fluorescein angiogram highlighted the NVs (B, yellow arrows) and marked capillary nonperfusion beyond the macular area (B, ∗), suggestive of multiple vascular occlusions, which can be a rare complication of IAC.

Mashup Score: 47Accessory Fovea in Human Eye - 15 day(s) ago
Foveal duplication was diagnosed incidentally in this 74-year-old man’s left eye. OCT displays a foveoid structure inferotemporal to his fovea characterized by inner retinal thinning with retention of attenuated nerve fiber, ganglion cell, inner plexiform, and inner nuclear layers. It was verified with repeat imaging. A corresponding scotoma suggested it may not be functional. The bifoveate retina has been documented in lower vertebrates and avian species, but reported to our knowledge only once prior in humans.

Mashup Score: 1“Real World” Management of Acute-Onset Postoperative Endophthalmitis with Presenting Visual Acuity of Light Perception - 18 day(s) ago
The Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study (EVS) reported, among other outcomes, that patients with acute-onset postoperative endophthalmitis following cataract surgery or secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and presenting visual acuity (VA) of light perception (LP) randomized to receive “immediate” pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), defined as within 6 hours of presentation, had significantly more favorable outcomes than patients randomized to receive vitreous tap and inject (TAP).1 The results from the EVS, first published in 1995, are generally followed to this day.
