1. Central serous chorioretinopathy associated with Adderall (dextroamphetamine-amphetamine) and topical steroid use

Author: Joseph B. Alsberge, Daniel Y. Lee, and J. Michael Jumper
Subjects: Adderall, Central serous chorioretinopathy, Corticosteroids, Dextroamphetamine-amphetamine, Sympathomimetics, Ophthalmology, RE1-994
Abstract: Purpose: To report a case of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) associated with Adderall (dextroamphetamine-amphetamine) and topical steroid use. Observations: A 34-year-old man presented for evaluation of a “cloud” in his vision for three months. He was taking Adderall for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and mometasone 0.1% topical cream for eczema. He was found to have subretinal fluid in the left eye consistent with CSC. The subretinal fluid persisted despite cessation of the steroid cream but resolved after cessation of the Adderall. The subretinal fluid returned when the patient restarted Adderall and again resolved after he stopped it for a second time. Conclusions: Though we cannot prove causality, the course of events was suggestive of a direct relationship between Adderall use and CSC in this patient, with exogenous steroid as a possible modifying factor.

2. Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome following influenza immunization - A multimodal imaging study

Author: Caleb C. Ng, J. Michael Jumper, and Emmett T. Cunningham, Jr.
Subjects: Inflammation, Uveitis, Vaccine, Vaccination, White dot syndrome, Ophthalmology, RE1-994
Abstract: Purpose: To describe the multimodal imaging (MMI) findings and clinical course of a case of Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome (MEWDS) following immunization with inactivated intra-dermal influenza virus, and to explore whether similarities exist with other, previously reported cases. Observations: A 34-year-old Caucasian man presented with unilateral onset of para-central scotomata, photopsias, and dyschromatopsia two weeks after administration of an influenza vaccine. Clinical examination and MMI were indicative of MEWDS. The patient's MMI abnormalities and symptoms resolved spontaneously after four weeks. Conclusion and importance: This is the first reported case of MMI of post-influenza vaccination-associated MEWDS. Comparison with eight previously reported cases of MEWDS following various immunizations revealed that subjects tended to be healthy, young to middle age women with a median time to onset of two weeks. Vision tended to recover spontaneously over one to three months.

3. Optical coherence tomography angiography of diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis

Author: Ananda Kalevar and J. Michael Jumper
Subjects: Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis, DUSN, Optical coherence tomography angiography, OCTA, Imaging, Ophthalmology, RE1-994
Abstract: Purpose: Diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis (DUSN) is often a challenging diagnosis to make. We present a DUSN case with its multimodal imaging to aid in the diagnosis, emphasizing the observations on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Observations: The evolution of a DUSN case is presented. Fundus photography and OCTA aided in the identification of the nematode. Conclusions and importance: DUSN is a difficult diagnosis to establish. We report the first case to our knowledge in which OCTA aided in the diagnosis of DUSN.

Abstract: Purpose To describe two cases of catastrophic, bilateral retinal vascular occlusion following intravitreal (IVT) bevacizumab injection. Methods Case series. Main outcome measures included clinical and fluorescein angiography (FA) findings. Results Case 1 - A 65-year-old woman with calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasis (CREST) syndrome developed acute, severe, bilateral visual loss two weeks following bilateral IVT bevacizumab injection for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Examination and FA revealed moderate anterior chamber inflammation, bilateral perivascular retinal hemorrhages and near total retinal vascular occlusion. Extensive testing revealed moderately elevated anti-B2 glycoprotein (antiphospholipid) antibodies. Case 2 - An 85-year-old man with polymyalgia rheumatica and left eye exudative age-related macular degeneration experienced severe, bilateral, sequential visual loss in the left then right eye approximately three weeks following IVT bevacizumab left eye injection. Examination revealed bilateral panuveitis, diffuse perivascular exudates, and intraretinal hemorrhages. FA showed diffuse venous leakage. Extensive testing revealed an elevated anti-nuclear antibody and mildly elevated anti-cardiolipin antibody. Conclusion Patients with underlying retinal vascular vulnerabilities may be at increased risk of catastrophic, bilateral retinal vascular occlusion following treatment with IVT bevacizumab. The moderate to severe intraocular inflammation in both cases, and the contralateral involvement following unilateral IVT injection in Case 2, suggest a possible delayed immune-mediated mechanism.

5. CLINICAL AND STRUCTURAL IMPACT OF SUBMACULAR FLUID AFTER PNEUMATIC RETINOPEXY REPAIR FOR RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT

Author: William M, Carrera, Michelle Y, Peng, Manisha, Reddy, Judy J, Chen, Robert N, Johnson, J Michael, Jumper, H Richard, McDonald, and Anita, Agarwal
Subjects: Ophthalmology, General Medicine
Abstract: To assess the impact of sub-macular fluid (SMF) following pneumatic retinopexy (PR) for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair.Retrospective review of consecutive patients treated with PR for primary RRD repair. 387 eyes (374 patients) were included, of which 166 underwent OCT imaging following successful PR. Foveal-centered OCT scans were reviewed.SMF occurred in 59 eyes (35.5%) and was associated with macular detachment (p =0.001) and phakic lens status (p = 0.007). SMF resolved over an average of 9.39 months and was associated with worse pre-procedure BCVA and delayed visual recovery. Mean final BCVA was 0.277 logMAR (20/40) in eyes with SMF and 0.162 logMAR (20/30) in those without SMF (p0.001). SMF was associated with discontinuity of the interdigitation zone (IZ) (p = 0.003), ellipsoid zone (EZ) (p = 0.005), and external limiting membrane (p =0.001) following SMF resolution. EZ discontinuity was associated with worse visual prognosis (p = 0.009).Trace SMF detected by OCT is common following successful PR and resulted in delayed visual recovery and increased rates of outer retinal discontinuity following SMF resorption, although the final difference in BCVA in those with and without SMF was minimal.

Abstract: Purpose To investigate the clinical and anatomic characteristics of soccer ball-induced posterior segment injuries in the era of modern multi-modal imaging. Methods Retrospective case series of patients with soccer ball injury and diagnostic imaging from 2007 to 2020 at a single vitreoretinal practice. Results Eight patients met inclusion criteria. Fundus photographs (FP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were obtained in eight patients, fundus autofluorescence (FAF) in five patients, fluorescein angiography (FA) in three patients, and en-face OCT and OCT-Angiography (OCT-A) were obtained in two patients each. FA and FAF identified traumatic pigment epitheliopathy secondary to commotio. Increased hypo-autofluorescence was associated with shallow, peripheral retinal detachment on FAF. OCT of the macula displayed outer retinal changes associated with commotio, and offered insight into the acute and subacute changes of traumatic macular hole formation. A patient displayed foveal hyper-reflectivity in the shape of an hourglass with retinal cyst at the level of the external limiting membrane (ELM) as seen on OCT and En-face OCT. A patient with commotio involving the macula lacked microvascular changes on OCT-A. Conclusion OCT, FA, and FAF imaging may aid in the work-up and management of the soccer ball-related posterior segment injuries.

8. A 48-year-old Caucasian man with unilateral 'smudge' in inferior visual field

Author: Malini V, Pasricha, Robert N, Johnson, Anita, Agarwal, J Michael, Jumper, H Richard, McDonald, and Emmett T, Cunningham
Subjects: Ophthalmology, General Medicine
Abstract: To report an increasingly prevalent fundoscopic manifestation of syphilitic uveitis.Case report of a patient with acute retinal necrosis secondary to syphilis.A 48-year-old man presented with decreased vision, anterior segment inflammation, and a wedge-shaped retinal lesion in the superior periphery, with a diaphanous leading edge extending down towards the superior arcade. The patient was HIV+ and poorly compliant with therapy. The top three differential diagnoses were herpetic necrotizing retinitis, syphilis, and lymphoma. An extensive lab workup was positive for syphilis. The patient was treated with IV penicillin G and demonstrated improvement in visual acuity and exam.There have been an increasing number of reports of syphilis patients, especially in the population of men who have sex with men, who present with fundus findings similar to acute retinal necrosis. These findings include a characteristic ground glass, translucent appearance of unifocal or multifocal lesions, primarily affecting the inner retina and sometimes associated with co-localizing occlusive vasculitis. Treatment with IV penicillin G is warranted and has demonstrated good visual recovery.

Abstract: Purpose: This work analyzes data from a series of surveys developed by the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) that assesses the impact of COVID-19 on physicians, their practices, and their patients. Methods: Five surveys were sent by the ASRS between March and July 2020 to more than 2600 US and international retina specialists. Data and trends from these surveys were analyzed. Results: Most responding retina specialists (87%-95% in the United States and internationally) reported having no known COVID-related symptoms despite reported limitations in personal protective equipment. Clinic volumes globally were drastically reduced in March 2020 with only partial recovery through July 2020, which was slower internationally than in the United States. Practices were compelled to reduce staff and physician employment levels. Most respondents estimated some degree of delay in patient treatment with corresponding declines in vision and/or anatomy that were attributed most frequently to patients’ fears of the pandemic and least frequently to office unavailability. Conclusions: The reported impact of COVID-19 on retina specialists, their practices, and their patients has been substantial. Although retina specialists were quickly resilient in optimizing delivery of patient care in a manner safe for patients and providers, the reduction in clinic volume has been devastating in the United States and internationally, with negative impacts on patient outcomes, reductions in practices’ volume and employment, and risk to practices’ financial health. Future studies will be required to quantify losses associated with these unprecedented and ongoing circumstances caused by the pandemic.

Abstract: Purpose:This study examines treatment-based outcomes of endophthalmitis due to antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) intravitreal injection and its effect on subsequent management of neovascular disease.Methods:A retrospective multicenter study was conducted of 157 patients with a diagnosis of endophthalmitis following anti-VEGF intravitreal injection at 10 major ophthalmic centers.Results:The median number of injections before endophthalmitis was 10 (range, 1 to 84 injections). Initial treatment with tap and inject with or without subsequent vitrectomy trended toward smaller visual acuity changes from baseline (4 ETDRS [Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study] letter difference vs 19 ETDRS letter difference) compared with initial vitrectomy, but the difference was not statistically significant. There was no significant change in medication choice among injections after endophthalmitis. There was a statistically significant shift away from regular interval (1- to 2-month) injections and a shift toward treat-and-extend and as-needed injection algorithms.Conclusions:The visual outcomes were not significantly different between patients who initially underwent tap and injection of antibiotics and those who underwent vitrectomy. There was no significant change in medication choice before and after endophthalmitis but there was a shift toward lower-frequency injection algorithms after postintravitreal injection endophthalmitis compared with prior.

Abstract: Purpose To investigate the natural history and genetic associations of drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment (DPED) associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Design Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study. Participants Of the 4203 Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) participants, 391 eyes (325 participants) had DPED without late AMD at the time of DPED detection. Genetic analyses included 120 white AREDS2 participants and 145 Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) participants with DPED. Methods Baseline and annual stereoscopic fundus photographs were graded centrally to detect DPED, a well-defined yellow elevated mound of confluent drusen ≥433 μm in diameter, and to evaluate progression rates to late AMD: geographic atrophy (GA) and neovascular (NV)-AMD. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (CFH [rs10611670], C3 [rs2230199], CFI [rs10033900], C2/CFB [rs114254831], ARMS2 [rs10490924]) and genetic risk score (GRS) group were investigated for association with DPED development. Kaplan–Meier analyses and multivariable proportional hazard regressions were performed. Main Outcome Measures Progression rates to late AMD and decrease of ≥3 lines in visual acuity (VA) from the time of DPED detection; association of rate of DPED development with genotype. Results Mean (standard deviation [SD]) follow-up time from DPED detection was 4.7 (0.9) years. DPED was associated with increased risk of progression to late AMD (hazard ratio [HR], 2.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.98–2.82; P Conclusions This study replicates the results of previous natural history studies of eyes with DPED including the high rates of progression to late AMD and vision loss (regardless of progression to late AMD). The genetic associations are consistent with genes associated with AMD progression.

Abstract: Purpose To analyze the prevalence, incidence, and clinical characteristics of eyes with geographic atrophy (GA) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including clinical and genetic factors affecting enlargement. Design Prospective cohort study within a controlled clinical trial. Participants Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) participants, aged 50–85 years. Methods Baseline and annual stereoscopic color fundus photographs were evaluated for GA presence and area. Analyses included GA prevalence and incidence rates, Kaplan-Meier rates, mixed-model regression, and multivariable analysis of the square root of GA, area adjusted for covariates, including clinical/imaging characteristics and genotype. Main Outcome Measures (1) Presence or development of GA; (2) change in the square root of GA area over time. Results At baseline, 517 eyes (6.2%) of 411 participants (9.8%) had pre-existing GA (without neovascular AMD), with the following characteristics: 33% central, 67% noncentral; and the following configurations: 36% small, 26% solid/unifocal, 24% multifocal, 9% horseshoe/ring, and 6% indeterminate. Of the remaining 6530 eyes at risk, 1099 eyes (17.3%) of 883 participants developed incident GA without prior neovascular disease during mean follow-up of 4.4 years. The Kaplan-Meier rate of incident GA was 19% of eyes at 5 years. In eyes with incident GA, 4-year risk of subsequent neovascular AMD was 29%. In eyes with incident noncentral GA, 4-year risk of central involvement was 57%. GA enlargement rate (following square root transformation) was similar in eyes with pre-existing GA (0.29 mm/year; 95% confidence interval 0.27–0.30) and incident GA (0.28 mm/year; 0.27–0.30). In the combined group, GA enlargement was significantly faster with noncentrality, multifocality, intermediate baseline size, and bilateral GA (P Conclusions Analyses of AREDS2 data on natural history of GA provide representative data on GA evolution and enlargement. GA enlargement, which was influenced by lesion features, was relentless, resulting in rapid central vision loss. The genetic variants associated with faster enlargement were partially distinct from those associated with risk of incident GA. These findings are relevant to further investigations of GA pathogenesis and clinical trial planning.

Abstract: PURPOSE To report a case of presumed intraretinal tuberculosis evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography. METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 61-year-old woman recently immigrated from China presented with round yellow-white retinal lesions in the left eye. The lesions were evaluated with multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). Subsequent serologic testing revealed a positive quantiFERON-TB Gold test while work up for other entities was negative. The patient was diagnosed with presumed intraretinal tuberculosis. She was started on systemic anti-tubercular therapy and the lesions regressed. The regression was documented with OCT-A. CONCLUSION Case reports of primary intraretinal tuberculosis are uncommon. To our knowledge, this is the first case to demonstrate OCT-A findings of presumed intraretinal tuberculosis. BRIEF SUMMARY STATEMENT A case of presumed intraretinal tuberculosis evaluated with optical coherence tomography angiography is reported.

Abstract: Purpose To discuss the mechanism of injury and characterize the clinical features of ocular trauma associated with elastic cord exercise equipment band injuries in a consecutive series of patients seen at a single vitreoretinal surgery practice. Methods We performed a retrospective review of all patients who were treated for blunt trauma from 2013 to 2020 at a single vitreoretinal practice. Results Thirteen eyes from 11 patients met the inclusion criteria of possessing ocular trauma secondary to recoil from exercise bands. Presenting visual acuity ranged from 20/16 to HM (median: 20/32). The most frequently observed anterior segment pathologies were traumatic iritis (54%) and angle recession (31%). The most common posterior segment findings were vitreous hemorrhage (54%) and peripheral commotio retinae (54%). Three eyes (23%) required surgical intervention. Follow up intervals ranged from 0 to 10 months (median: 1.75 months). Visual acuity at last examination ranged from 20/13 to 20/400 (median: 20/40). Conclusion A wide spectrum of serious ocular injuries requiring medical and surgical intervention can result from this form of blunt ocular trauma. The frequency of this event would be decreased by the use of sports goggles and careful inspection of equipment for wear and over use.

Abstract: Purpose To describe the multimodal imaging (MMI) findings and clinical course of a case of Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome (MEWDS) following immunization with inactivated intra-dermal influenza virus, and to explore whether similarities exist with other, previously reported cases. Observations A 34-year-old Caucasian man presented with unilateral onset of para-central scotomata, photopsias, and dyschromatopsia two weeks after administration of an influenza vaccine. Clinical examination and MMI were indicative of MEWDS. The patient's MMI abnormalities and symptoms resolved spontaneously after four weeks. Conclusion and importance This is the first reported case of MMI of post-influenza vaccination-associated MEWDS. Comparison with eight previously reported cases of MEWDS following various immunizations revealed that subjects tended to be healthy, young to middle age women with a median time to onset of two weeks. Vision tended to recover spontaneously over one to three months.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To describe the appearance of concentric, fingerprint-like waves within the Henle Fiber Layer (HFL) using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with tractional pathologies of the retina. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 6 eyes of 6 patients imaged by OCT with volumetric slabs positioned at the level of the HFL. RESULTS: OCT data from 6 patients with tractional vitreoretinal pathology were reviewed. Concentric, fingerprint-like microwaves were visualized via en face OCT in all 6 study eyes at the level of the HFL. This finding resembled the finding of HFL waves previously noted histopathologically from force exerted on this layer. CONCLUSION: In retinal pathologies in which specific physical forces act upon the retina, volumetric OCT may permit visualization of en face concentric, fingerprint-like hyper-reflective rings within the HFL. This “fingerprint sign” may represent a biomechanical consequence of traction on the retina and allow clinical decision-making based on improved recognition of the existence of such traction. SUMMARY STATEMENT: Concentric hyper-reflective rings visualized by en face optical coherence tomography in patients with tractional pathologies of the retina may be caused by physical waves within the Henle Fiber Layer.

Abstract: Purpose To expand understanding of presentation, diagnosis, and outcomes of hemorrhagic occlusive retinal vasculitis (HORV). Design Retrospective case series. Participants Thirty-six eyes of 23 patients. Methods The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) formed a joint task force to define clinical characteristics of HORV and to study its prevalence, cause, treatment, and outcomes. An online registry was established on both societies' web sites. Surveys were e-mailed to members of both societies soliciting cases of suspected HORV. A literature search was performed to uncover additional cases. Main Outcome Measures Historical data including intraoperative characteristics, images, treatment regimens, and visual and anatomic outcomes. Results Characteristic findings of HORV included unremarkable postoperative day 1 undilated examination, delayed-onset painless vision loss, mild anterior chamber and vitreous inflammation, sectoral retinal hemorrhages in areas of ischemia, and predilection for venules and peripheral involvement. Based on predetermined diagnostic criteria, 36 eyes of 23 patients were diagnosed with HORV. All eyes received intraocular vancomycin via intracameral bolus (33/36), via intravitreal injection (1/36), or through the irrigation bottle (2/36). Patients sought treatment with HORV 1 to 21 days after surgery or intravitreal injection. Visual results usually were poor: 22 of 36 eyes (61%) had 20/200 or worse visual acuity and 8 of 36 eyes (22%) had no light perception (NLP). Neovascular glaucoma developed in 20 of 36 eyes (56%). Seven eyes received additional intravitreal vancomycin after surgery; 5 of these 7 eyes had NLP visual acuity at the most recent examination. Three eyes received intravitreal corticosteroids and had final visual acuities of 20/40, 20/70, and hand movements. Conclusions Hemorrhagic occlusive retinal vasculitis is a rare, potentially devastating condition that can develop after cataract surgery or intraocular injection. All cases in this series were associated with intraocular vancomycin. Disease course and findings suggest that HORV is caused by a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to vancomycin. Early treatment with corticosteroids likely is beneficial. Subsequently, anti–vascular endothelial growth factor injections and panretinal photocoagulation are important to prevent neovascular glaucoma, a common complication. Avoidance of additional intravitreal vancomycin is recommended if HORV is suspected.

Abstract: Acute retinal ischaemia presents in various forms depending on the type and location of the associated vascular occlusion. Cotton wool spots have been considered one manifestation of ischaemia and represent swelling in the nerve fibre layer. However, clinical retinal whitening also occurs in areas not affected by cotton wool spots, and has distinguishing spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) features. We present SD-OCT findings of hyper-reflectivity and thickening in four eyes with representative retinal arterial or retinal venous occlusions, specifically branch retinal artery occlusion, central retinal vein occlusion, Purtscher-like retinopathy and ophthalmic artery occlusion. The spectrum of retinal ischaemia from various causes was found to manifest in inner nuclear layer hyper-reflectivity and thickening on SD-OCT. En Face OCT imaging further characterises the topographical distribution of ischaemia, and reveals patterns which provide insight into the pathological processes involved.

Abstract: PURPOSE To analyze the anatomical characteristics of lamellar macular holes using cross-sectional and en face spectral domain optical coherence tomography. METHODS Forty-two lamellar macular holes were retrospectively identified for analysis. The location, cross-sectional length, and area of lamellar holes were measured using B-scans and en face imaging. The presence of photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment disruption and the presence or absence of epiretinal membrane formation were recorded. RESULTS Forty-two lamellar macular holes were identified. Intraretinal splitting occurred within the outer plexiform layer in 97.6% of eyes. The area of intraretinal splitting in lamellar holes did not correlate with visual acuity. Eyes with inner segment/outer segment disruption had significantly worse mean logMAR visual acuity (0.363 ± 0.169; Snellen = 20/46) than in eyes without inner segment/outer segment disruption (0.203 ± 0.124; Snellen = 20/32) (analysis of variance, P = 0.004). Epiretinal membrane was present in 34 of 42 eyes (81.0%). CONCLUSION En face imaging allowed for consistent detection and quantification of intraretinal splitting within the outer plexiform layer in patients with lamellar macular holes, supporting the notion that an area of anatomical weakness exists within Henle's fiber layer, presumably at the synaptic connection of these fibers within the outer plexiform layer. However, the en face area of intraretinal splitting did not correlate with visual acuity, disruption of the inner segment/outer segment junction was associated with significantly worse visual acuity in patients with lamellar macular holes.

Abstract: Purpose To determine the sensitivity of the Cirrus high-definition (HD) 5-line raster scans for detecting retinal fluid in neovascular age-related macular degeneration when using the spectral domain optical coherence tomography macular cubes as a gold standard. Methods Patients were retrospectively identified from their initial follow-up visit after being newly diagnosed with neovascular age-related macular degeneration in at least one eye. Patients were imaged with Cirrus spectral domain optical coherence tomography using the 512 × 128 macular cube scan and HD 5-line raster scan settings. Patients with other diseases that cause subretinal or intraretinal fluid, or who had an epiretinal membrane causing macular traction were excluded from the analysis. We recorded the presence or absence of subretinal or intraretinal fluid in the macular cube and on the HD 5-line raster scans. Results Seventy-nine patients met the study requirements. Of the 63 patients who had fluid present on the macular cube, 1 did not seem to have fluid on the HD 5-line raster scans. Taking the macular cube as a gold standard, the sensitivity of the HD 5-line raster scans for detecting retinal fluid in this cohort was 98.4%. Conclusion The Cirrus HD 5-line raster scans have a high sensitivity for detecting fluid in the macular cube in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract: To describe the appearance of acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis, a rare ocular manifestation of syphilis, on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) both before and after treatment.Ophthalmic examination and imaging studies of 30 eyes of 19 confirmed cases were analyzed both at the time of presentation and at each follow-up visit. Patients with SD OCT and fluorescein angiography at the time of presentation, and at least three documented follow-up visits after initiation of therapy, were included in the study. Standard treatment of neurosyphilis was given to each patient, including 4 million units of penicillin G administered intravenously every 4 hours for 14 days.Fundus examination and imaging studies were consistent with previous reports and confirmed the diagnosis of acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis. In 13 eyes (43.3%), baseline SD OCT scans were performed within 1 to 2 days of presentation and revealed a small amount of subretinal fluid, disruption of the inner segment/outer segment junction, and hyperreflective thickening of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). All 30 eyes were again scanned between Days 7 and 9 after presentation and revealed loss of the inner segment/outer segment and OS/RPE bands, and irregular hyperreflectivity of the RPE with prominent nodular elevations but without subretinal fluid. Early disruption of the external limiting membrane and punctate choroidal hyperreflectivity were seen in 1 of the 30 eyes (3.3%) and 14 of the 30 eyes (46.6%), respectively. Vision improved and the outer retinal abnormalities normalized in 28 of the 30 eyes (93.3%) after the treatment of neurosyphilis. The external limiting membrane, inner segment/outer segment band, and/or linear outer segment/RPE junction remained substantially abnormal despite treatment in 2 eyes left with 20/200 vision.Patients with acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis show characteristic outer retinal abnormalities on SD OCT imaging, including disruption of the inner segment/outer segment band, nodular thickening of the RPE with loss of the linear outer segment/RPE junction, and, in some cases, loss of the external limiting membrane, accumulation of subretinal fluid, and punctate hyperreflectivity in the choroid. Vision improved and these abnormalities reversed after treatment of neurosyphilis in most of the patients. Persistently, poor vision despite treatment was associated with long-term loss or disruption of outer retinal anatomy on SD OCT.

Abstract: Acute retinal necrosis (ARN), also known as Kirisawa-type uveitis, is an uncommon condition caused by infection of the retina by one of the herpes family of viruses, most typically varicella zoster virus or herpes simplex virus and less commonly cytomegalovirus. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging and is often aided by PCR-based analysis of ocular fluids. Treatment typically involves extended use of one or more antiviral agents. Long term retinal detachment risk is high. We review the literature on ARN and present an approach to the diagnosis and management of this serious condition.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to report novel autofluorescence and spectral domain optic coherence tomography findings in a case of Alport syndrome. Case report and literature review. A 30-year-old woman with a history of Alport syndrome presented with a full-thickness macular hole in her right eye and evidence of vitreofoveal traction in her asymptomatic left eye. Both eyes had temporal macular thinning. She had anterior lenticonus and perimacular flecks characteristic of Alport syndrome. In addition, fundus autofluorescence revealed an interesting pattern of splotchy hypoautofluorescence in the periphery (in the absence of any peripheral retinopathy on examination), which has not been described previously. Macular hole in Alport syndrome results from basement membrane weakness and an abnormal vitreoretinal interface. Although this makes surgery in these cases challenging, careful separation of the posterior hyaloid and internal limiting membrane peeling with fluid gas exchange can lead to successful closure. Alport syndrome can also cause abnormalities in the retinal pigment epithelium/Bruch membrane leading to abnormal autofluorescence.

Abstract: To expand understanding of presentation, diagnosis, and outcomes of hemorrhagic occlusive retinal vasculitis (HORV).Retrospective case series.Thirty-six eyes of 23 patients.The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) and the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) formed a joint task force to define clinical characteristics of HORV and to study its prevalence, cause, treatment, and outcomes. An online registry was established on both societies' web sites. Surveys were e-mailed to members of both societies soliciting cases of suspected HORV. A literature search was performed to uncover additional cases.Historical data including intraoperative characteristics, images, treatment regimens, and visual and anatomic outcomes.Characteristic findings of HORV included unremarkable postoperative day 1 undilated examination, delayed-onset painless vision loss, mild anterior chamber and vitreous inflammation, sectoral retinal hemorrhages in areas of ischemia, and predilection for venules and peripheral involvement. Based on predetermined diagnostic criteria, 36 eyes of 23 patients were diagnosed with HORV. All eyes received intraocular vancomycin via intracameral bolus (33/36), via intravitreal injection (1/36), or through the irrigation bottle (2/36). Patients sought treatment with HORV 1 to 21 days after surgery or intravitreal injection. Visual results usually were poor: 22 of 36 eyes (61%) had 20/200 or worse visual acuity and 8 of 36 eyes (22%) had no light perception (NLP). Neovascular glaucoma developed in 20 of 36 eyes (56%). Seven eyes received additional intravitreal vancomycin after surgery; 5 of these 7 eyes had NLP visual acuity at the most recent examination. Three eyes received intravitreal corticosteroids and had final visual acuities of 20/40, 20/70, and hand movements.Hemorrhagic occlusive retinal vasculitis is a rare, potentially devastating condition that can develop after cataract surgery or intraocular injection. All cases in this series were associated with intraocular vancomycin. Disease course and findings suggest that HORV is caused by a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to vancomycin. Early treatment with corticosteroids likely is beneficial. Subsequently, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections and panretinal photocoagulation are important to prevent neovascular glaucoma, a common complication. Avoidance of additional intravitreal vancomycin is recommended if HORV is suspected.

Abstract: Purpose: To describe significant vision loss caused by enlargement of chorioretinal scars related to sympathetic ophthalmia despite adequate control of intraocular inflammation. Methods: A case report of a 62-year-old man who developed sympathetic ophthalmia after a vitrectomy, which was successful in repairing a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Results: Progressive expansion of chorioretinal scars occurred despite successful control of intraocular inflammation related to sympathetic ophthalmia. The visual acuity declined from 20/20 to no light perception in the right eye and from 20/400 to light perception in the left eye over 11 years of follow-up. Conclusion: Progressive enlargement of chorioretinal scars and visual loss may occur despite adequate control of intraocular inflammation in patients with sympathetic ophthalmia. Similar patterns of scar expansion have been reported in eyes after laser photocoagulation, but we believe this is the first report of scar enlargement in the setting of well-controlled sympathetic ophthalmia.

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this study was to describe the occurrence of a retinal pigment epitheliopathy associated with macular telangiectasis and intraretinal crystal deposits in three human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients receiving long-term ritonavir as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Methods The patient's records were reviewed. Results The CD4 T-cell counts at presentation were 163 cells per microliter, 464 cells per microliter, and 349 cells per microliter, and viral loads were undetectable in all patients. None of the patients had a concurrent AIDS-defining illness. Other significant medical history included hyperlipidemia in one patient and a remote history of lymphoma and tuberculosis in a second patient. Initial visual acuity ranged from 20/32 to 20/400, with a median of 20/150. Anterior segment examination and intraocular pressures were normal in all eyes. Posterior segment examination revealed bilateral macular retinal pigment epitheliopathy with intraretinal crystalline deposits. No hemorrhage or cotton wool spots were seen consistent with human immunodeficiency virus retinopathy, and there was no evidence of previous or active cystomegalovirus retinitis. Fluorescein angiography revealed parafoveal telangiectasis with late leakage in two of the three patients. Optical coherence tomography showed thickening of the macula in three eyes and inner foveal cysts in two eyes. Autofluorescence performed on one patient revealed complete loss of normal retinal pigment epithelium autofluorescence corresponding to the area of retinal pigment epitheliopathy bilaterally. The only medicine common to all 3 patients was ritonavir, and the duration of ritonavir therapy before presentation was 19 months in one patient, 30 months in the second patient, and 5 years in the third patient. Conclusion Retinal changes characterized by retinal pigment epitheliopathy, parafoveal telangiectasias, and intraretinal crystal deposits occurred in three human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients on long-term ritonavir as part of highly active antiretroviral therapy.

Abstract: To evaluate the association of subretinal hyperreflective material (SHRM) with visual acuity (VA), geographic atrophy (GA), and scar in the Comparison of Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatments Trials (CATT).Prospective cohort study within a randomized clinical trial.The 1185 CATT participants.Masked readers graded scar and GA on fundus photography and fluorescein angiography and graded SHRM on time-domain and spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) throughout 104 weeks. Measurements of SHRM height and width in the fovea, within the center 1 mm(2), or outside the center 1mm(2) were obtained on SD OCT images at 56 (n = 76) and 104 (n = 66) weeks.Presence of SHRM, as well as location and size, and associations with VA, scar, and GA.Among CATT participants, the percentage with SHRM at enrollment was 77%, decreasing to 68% at 4 weeks after treatment and to 54% at 104 weeks. At 104 weeks, scar was present more often in eyes with persistent SHRM than in eyes with SHRM that resolved (64% vs. 31%; P0.0001). Among eyes with detailed evaluation of SHRM at weeks 56 (n = 76) and 104 (n = 66), mean VA letter score was 73.5 (standard error [SE], 2.8), 73.1 (SE, 3.4), 65.3 (SE, 3.5), and 63.9 (SE, 3.7) when SHRM was absent, present outside the central 1 mm(2), present within the central 1 mm(2) but not the foveal center, or present at the foveal center (P = 0.02), respectively. When SHRM was present, the median maximum height under the fovea, within the central 1 mm(2) including the fovea and anywhere within the scan, was 86 μm, 120 μm, and 122 μm, respectively. Visual acuity was decreased with greater SHRM height and width (P0.05).In eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), SHRM is common and often persists after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment. At 2 years, eyes with scar were more likely to have SHRM than other eyes. Greater SHRM dimensions were associated with worse VA. In eyes with neovascular AMD, SHRM is an important morphologic biomarker.

Abstract: Purpose To review evidence and provide updated guidelines on intravitreal (IVT) injection technique and monitoring. Methods A review of the published literature on IVT injection from 2004 to 2014 formed the basis for round table deliberations by an expert panel of ophthalmologists. Results The dramatic increase in the number of IVT injections has been accompanied by a comparable increase in evidence surrounding IVT practice patterns and techniques. The expert panel identified a number of areas that have evolved since publication of the original IVT injection guidelines in 2004, the most notable of which were a lack of evidence to support the routine use of pre-, peri-, and postinjection antibiotics to reduce the risk of endophthalmitis, and the role of aerosolized droplets containing oral contaminants from the patient and/or providers as a potential source of infection. The panel emphasized the continued importance of applying povidone-iodine to and avoiding eyelid contact with the intended injection site and needle. Conclusion Updated guidelines on IVT injection technique and monitoring are proposed based on a review of published literature and expert panel deliberations.

Abstract: Purpose To determine the yield of diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy in eyes with suspected posterior segment inflammation or malignancy when clinical examination and systemic laboratory testing did not yield a specific diagnosis. Design Noncomparative interventional case series Participants Eighty-seven consecutive patients (90 eyes) who underwent diagnostic pars plana vitrectomy from 1989 through 1999. Interventions Vitreous samples were analyzed in a directed manner based on the preoperative clinical examination and systemic laboratory testing. Main outcome measures Diagnosis from each test performed on the vitreous samples. Results Diagnostic vitrectomy was performed alone in 6 eyes (7%) and as part of a therapeutic procedure in the remaining 84 eyes. The diagnostic tests performed most frequently included cytopathology (83%), microbiologic culture and sensitivity (43%), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (36%), and intraocular antibody levels for T. canis (14%). Of these, intraocular antibody testing and PCR had the highest positive yield, 46% and 39%, respectively. Overall, directed vitreous analysis identified a specific cause in 35 eyes (39%). Of the 65 cases in which an underlying infection was suspected preoperatively, the procedure yielded a specific diagnosis in 27 (42%). When intraocular malignancy was considered preoperatively (71 eyes), a diagnosis of intraocular lymphoma was obtained in seven (10%). This difference between these diagnostic yields was significant ( P = 0.02, Fisher's exact test). Conclusions Diagnostic vitrectomy with directed vitreous fluid analysis yields a specific cause and guides subsequent therapy in a high percentage of cases. This procedure is a valuable adjunct in cases that cannot be diagnosed by less invasive methods.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the corneal toxicity of different preparations of intraocular hyaluronidase. SDS-PAGE analysis of bovine testicular hyaluronidase (Wydase) and chromatographically purified hyaluronidase (Sigma) was performed. These two preparations were injected into the anterior chamber of rabbits in amounts ranging from 1.5-150 IU (Wydase) and 1.5-300 IU (Sigma). A third set of rabbit eyes received Wydase vehicle alone or in combination with Sigma hyaluronidase. Treated control eyes were injected with saline. Slit lamp examination and indirect ophthalmoscopy were performed preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 and 7. Light microscopy of the corneas was performed. SDS-PAGE of Wydase revealed numerous protein impurities, while Sigma demonstrated one protein band consistent with mammalian hyaluronidase. Persistent corneal edema, severe anterior chamber fibrin, and endothelial necrosis, were seen in the majority of eyes injected with Wydase in amounts of 50 IU and greater (n = 11). Thirty percent (30%) of the eyes injected with the Sigma preparation (n = 11) had localized corneal opacity similar to 50% of eyes injected with saline (n = 2). Of the rabbit eyes injected with the Wydase vehicle (n = 19), 68% had toxic changes. Intracameral injection of Wydase is toxic to the rabbit cornea in amounts of 50 IU and greater. A chromatographically purified preparation showed only transient local toxicity. Toxicity of Wydase may be due to protein impurities and the thimerosal-containing vehicle.

Abstract: Purpose To report a case of surgically induced necrotizing scleritis and optic neuropathy after pars plana vitrectomy as presenting signs of Churg-Strauss syndrome. Method Case report. Results A 59-year-old Asian man underwent a 20-gauge pars plana vitrectomy to remove a posteriorly dislocated intraocular lens. During follow-up, he developed unilateral necrotizing scleritis and optic neuropathy. Systemic evaluation and laboratory investigations revealed findings consistent with Churg-Strauss syndrome. Systemic corticosteroids therapy produced dramatic improvement in visual symptoms. Conclusion Churg-Strauss syndrome should be considered in any patient who develops surgically induced necrotizing scleritis and/or optic neuropathy after pars plana vitrectomy. Prompt and aggressive treatment with systemic corticosteroids can result in marked improvement.

Abstract: PURPOSE To describe a patient with angioid streaks and optic nerve head drusen associated with familial tumoral calcinosis (FTC). DESIGN Retrospective, observational case report. METHODS The patient's records were reviewed. RESULTS After receiving blunt trauma to the head, the patient presented with loss of vision in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed bilateral angioid streaks, optic nerve head drusen, and choroidal ruptures associated with subretinal hemorrhages. Subsequent physical, laboratory, and radiologic examinations revealed periarticular calcification, elevated serum phosphate levels, and normal calcium levels, consistent with FTC. CONCLUSIONS FTC should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with angioid streaks and optic nerve head drusen.

Abstract: PURPOSE To describe a patient with a giant pigment epithelial detachment (PED) successfully treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. DESIGN Retrospective, observational case report. METHODS The patient's records were reviewed. RESULTS An 81-year-old man with history of age-related macular degeneration was seen on routine follow-up examination with an asymptomatic PED temporal to the macula in the right eye and visual acuity of 20/40. The patient was observed. Ten months later, the patient was found to have decreased vision to 20/80 and massive enlargement of the PED, with extension from the temporal equator into the macula. Optical coherence tomography of the macula showed a PED with overlying intraretinal cysts. The patient was given injections of intravitreal bevacizumab for every 4 months (1.25 mg) with complete resolution of the PED and return to baseline visual acuity of 20/40. CONCLUSION Giant PED secondary to exudative age-related macular degeneration can be successfully treated with intravitreal bevacizumab.

Abstract: PURPOSE To report successful treatment of persistent retinal edema associated with retinal vascular occlusion with ranibizumab after initial failure with bevacizumab intravitreal injections. METHODS A retrospective chart review of all patients undergoing treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab for retinal vascular occlusion was undertaken. Clinical features of patients who were switched to monthly ranibizumab because of persistent and/or worsening retinal edema despite multiple (six or more) monthly intravitreal bevacizumab injections were selected for review. The type of retinal vascular occlusion, age of the patient, visual acuity at each visit, number of intravitreal bevacizumab injections, optical coherence tomography findings at each visit, fluorescein angiography, and number of intravitreal ranibizumab injections with optical coherence tomography findings at each subsequent visit were recorded. RESULTS Six patients (five women and one man) were identified. Age ranged from 56 years to 74 years. Five had central retinal vein occlusion and one a branch retinal vein occlusion. All were treated with at least 6 sequential intravitreal bevacizumab injections (range, 6-13) before treatment with ranibizumab. All demonstrated an immediate and marked reduction in retinal edema that had not occurred with any of the previous treatments. The average central foveal thickness on optical coherence tomography was 592 µm before ranibizumab injection and 346 µm after the injection. Visual acuity improved in four of the six patients and was stable in the remaining two patients. CONCLUSION Eyes of patients with persistent macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion despite bevacizumab may experience prompt improvement after initiation of intravitreal ranibizumab injections.

Abstract: To report the clinical course of a patient with acute retinal necrosis resulting from a multidrug-resistant strain of herpes simplex virus 2.Observational case report.A 17-year-old man with no identifiable immune deficiency presented with pain and decreased vision in his left eye. He had dense anterior and posterior segment inflammation with retinal whitening suggestive of acute retinal necrosis, which progressed despite treatment with intravenous acyclovir, methylprednisolone, and ganciclovir. A transition to intravitreal and intravenous foscarnet led to clinical improvement. Genetic analysis revealed the etiology to be a multidrug-resistant strain of herpes simplex virus 2.Antiviral resistance is an uncommon finding among viruses causing acute retinal necrosis in immunocompetent patients. Patients with these infections may be adequately treated with prompt recognition and a change in therapy to alternative antiviral agents such as foscarnet.

Abstract: Purpose To describe a case of chronic exogenous Exophiala dermatitidis endophthalmitis. Methods Retrospective chart review and case report. Results A 60-year-old man with history of chronic herpes zoster keratitis complicated by secondary fungal keratitis treated with penetrating keratoplasty presented with a white cataract, chronic anterior uveitis, and counting fingers vision in the left eye. Combined cataract extraction and diagnostic vitrectomy revealed positive cultures and polymerase chain reaction-based testing for E. dermatitidis-the same organism responsible for the keratitis. The patient was treated with multiple oral, intravenous, and intravitreal antifungal agents. Ultimately, the corneal infection recurred and the patient elected to undergo enucleation. Filamentous fungi consistent with E. dermatitidis infection were identified in the cornea of the enucleation specimen. Conclusion Although rare, Exophiala species can cause exogenous endophthalmitis. Chronic endophthalmitis should be suspected in patients who develop persistent intraocular inflammation after infectious keratitis.

Abstract: Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics and surgical management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) in patients with acute syphilitic panuveitis.Methods: Retrospective case series and comprehensive literature review.Results: Including present and previously reported cases, we identified 11 eyes in 8 patients with acute syphilitic panuveitis that developed a rhegmatogenous RD. Seven of 11 eyes (63.6%) were repaired with a combined scleral buckling, vitrectomy, and endolaser photocoagulation surgery; 1 eye (9.1%) was repaired with scleral buckling only; and 2 eyes (18.2%) with vitrectomy only. Cryotherapy was used to treat a giant retinal tear in 1 eye (9.1%). Four eyes (36.4%) redetached and 3 underwent a second vitrectomy surgery.Conclusions: Although uncommon, rhegmatogenous RD can occur in patients with moderate to severe acute syphilitic panuveitis. We believe scleral buckling, vitrectomy, endolaser photocoagulation, and silicone oil tamponade give the best chance for successful...

Abstract: Purpose To describe the nature and evolution of paraneoplastic cloudy vitelliform submaculopathy in patients with primary vitreoretinal lymphoma and propose a mechanism for its development and course. Design Retrospective, observational case series. Methods Three patients presenting with unilateral cloudy vitelliform submaculopathy based on clinical examination, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) imaging and ultimately diagnosed with primary vitreoretinal lymphoma and/or primary central nervous system lymphoma were analyzed. Results In all 3 patients, cloudy vitelliform submaculopathy appeared with hazy indistinct yellow subretinal material resembling the vitelliform lesions found in acute exudative paraneoplastic polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy, although with less distinct appearance and without intense hyper-autofluorescence. In all 3 patients, cloudy vitelliform submaculopathy was transient, showed spontaneous regression within 3 months, and preceded the diagnosis of lymphoma, suggestive of a paraneoplastic process. The diagnosis of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma and/or primary central nervous system lymphoma was made within 6 months with classic features of new intraretinal or sub–retinal pigment epithelium infiltration of lymphoma in the peripheral retina (n = 2) and hyperintense lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (n = 2). With SD OCT imaging, the cloudy vitelliform subretinal lesions appeared as hyperreflective debris above the retinal pigment epithelium band in all 3 eyes, and were associated with an irregularly thickened and rippled retinal pigment epithelium band in 2 eyes. Resolution of the cloudy submacular lesions resulted in outer retinal atrophic changes in all 3 eyes. Conclusion Paraneoplastic cloudy vitelliform submaculopathy, a form of lymphoma-associated retinopathy, can precede the diagnosis of primary vitreoretinal lymphoma or primary central nervous system lymphoma and can regress spontaneously, leaving outer retinal abnormalities.
