This case, submitted by Ogugua Okonkwo and colleagues Adekunle Olubola Hassan, Ayodele Harriman, Ogochukwu Sibeudu, and Idris Akintayo Oyekunle, highlights a rare occurrence of serpiginous choroiditis in a healthy 13-year-old male. The patient presented with a five-month history of bilateral vision loss, with fundus imaging revealing significant subretinal scarring and foveal hemorrhage. Despite its typical presentation in middle-aged adults, this case emphasizes the complexity of diagnosing tubercular serpiginous-like choroiditis in younger patients. With careful management and a course of oral prednisone, the patient's condition stabilized, although further testing for tuberculosis remains pending. ?????

This case study features a 50-year-old female who experienced sudden vision loss and floaters in her left eye, caused by a retinal tear with vitreous hemorrhage. Optos imaging revealed a dramatic "waterfall" of blood in the vitreous cavity, yet the tear was successfully identified and treated with cryotherapy. As the hemorrhage worsened, vitrectomy was performed to relieve vitreoretinal traction. Remarkably, her vision improved to 20/20 just five days post-surgery, highlighting the effectiveness of timely intervention. ????? For more information, visit retinaworldcongress.org.

This case, managed by Dr. Jaydeep Walinjkar, features an 83-year-old woman who presented with sudden, painless vision loss in her right eye for 4 days. Examination revealed central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) with cilioretinal artery sparing, with a visual acuity of hand movement (HM+). Given her one-eyed condition, Dr. Walinjkar performed a vitrectomy. Three months post-op, her vision improved remarkably to 6/12, N10, showcasing the success of the procedure in restoring functional vision. ??????? #retinaworldcongress #retina #eyecare #ophthalmology #CRAO For more detailed case studies and medical insights, visit our website! ??retinaworldcongress.org

This video highlights a meticulous surgical technique for managing vitreomacular traction (VMT) while minimizing the risk of iatrogenic macular hole formation. The goal is to relieve anteroposterior and tangential traction through vitrectomy and fovea-sparing ILM peeling. By focusing on precision and avoiding direct manipulation of the fovea, this approach helps ensure a successful outcome, even in complex cases. The video provides a detailed demonstration of each step for achieving safe and effective results. ??????? For more information, visit retinaworldcongress.org.

This case highlights a new diabetic macular detachment in a patient with a large asymptomatic silicone oil bubble following multiple #Avastin injections. The silicone originated from lubricated insulin syringe needles used by compounding pharmacies for Avastin delivery. Many patients receiving these injections developed small vitreous silicone droplets, leading to the discontinuation of these syringes. This rare occurrence of a large silicone bubble is a key point in understanding complications from intravitreal injections. ?????

This case illustrates how Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness (#MIDD) mimics macular pattern dystrophy due to the accumulation of hyperautofluorescent subretinal material. Characterized by multiple islands of macular atrophy visible on fundus autofluorescence, MIDD is linked to the A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation. This rare condition can be mistaken for Type 2 diabetes, affecting both #vision and hearing. Explore the progression of parafoveal macular #atrophy in this unique case available in the Retina Rocks collection. ??????

This case illustrates subacute vision loss in an 80-year-old female due to a posteriorly dislocated intraocular lens (IOL). Previously treated for macular neovascularization from ocular histoplasmosis, the patient experienced painless vision loss. #Optos imaging revealed a 3-piece IOL displaced into the inferior midperiphery, with the capsule intact. Despite no reported trauma and a stable vision history post-cataract surgery performed nearly 25 years ago, timely intervention is crucial. This case emphasizes the need for regular follow-up in elderly patients with prior ocular procedures, leading to planned vitrectomy and scleral-fixated lens placement to restore vision. ?????
