OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to better characterize patients with multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis (MCP), punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC), multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS), and diffuse subretinal fibrosis syndrome. The specific aim was to determine whether these
This case report describes a patient who developed the characteristic features of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR), but whose case was unusual because of macular involvement, recurrences, and association with an inflammatory CNS disorder. The patient was followed for > 7 years; clinical
OBJECTIVE
To describe an active inflammatory cause of pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy.
METHODS
A 54-year-old female patient presented with complaints of worsening visual acuity and poor night vision was examined. Fundus examination was performed and color fundus photographs were taken.
The case of a woman presenting unusual bilateral campimetric defects following transphenoidal surgery is presented. The defects, consisting of a necklace of small round scotomas, disappeared after a corticosteroid treatment. A postoperative inflammatory mechanism may explain these unusual visual
Optic perineuritis (OPN) is a subtype of optic neuritis (ON) in which the inflammatory process involves meningeal sheath surrounding the optic nerve. Clinically, OPN simulates ON. However, in contrast to ON, patient with OPN shows sparing of central vision, improves dramatically with high-dose
Inflammatory optic neuropathy (ON) is a rare event in Behçet's disease (BD). We report herein a series of ten BD Tunisian patients with ON and describe its clinical features among them. A retrospective review of BD patients (International Study Group for BD criteria) was performed. The patients were
The time course of propagation of scotoma and blood flow changes during migraine aura parallels the phenomenon of cortical spreading depression (CSD). It was proposed that CSD generates a sterile neurogenic inflammation in the meninges, which may then lead to the activation or sensitization of
Diseases of the paranasal sinuses may cause visual disturbances, especially diminished visual acuity and visual field defects, by affecting the optic nerve. We report the unusual case of a female patient with unilateral peripheral, quadrantic scotoma and concomitant chronic ethmoidal sinusitis.
Examinations of 202 patients (337 eyes) with different forms of macular dystrophies, such as idiopathic flat detachment of the retina in the macular area, central sclerotic dystrophy of the retina, tapetoretinal macular degeneration, outcome of local inflammation of pigmented epithelium,
A 35-year-old man with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) associated with acute bilateral optic neuritis is described. At age 33, he noticed a tingling sensation in his toes followed by weakness in the lower limbs. He was admitted to our hospital because he became
OBJECTIVE
We describe four patients with idiopathic choroidal neovascularization (ICNV) who developed inflammatory chorioretinal diseases in the ipsilateral or contralateral eye.
METHODS
The medical records of 58 eyes of 58 patients with an initial diagnosis of ICNV (age range, 19-49 years; mean,
BACKGROUND
We observed a rare case of orbital myositis involving the optic nerve.
METHODS
A 52-year-old woman complained of visual disturbance, lid swelling, ocular pain, and conjunctival injection in her right eye. Her corrected vision was 0.15 in the right eye and 1.2 in the left eye. Relative
Acute retinal pigment epitheliitis is an infrequently described macular disorder of unknown cause that affects healthy young adults. Acute symptoms include either reduced visual acuity or central scotoma. Ophthalmoscopy discloses discrete pigment clumps with surrounding hypopigmented halos in the
BACKGROUND
Optic neuropathy is a severe and well-known complication of ethambutol treatment. If not detected early, it may lead to profound and irreversible vision loss.
METHODS
We report the case of a 83-year-old female patient, referred for rapidly progressive, painless, bilateral visual loss,
Idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) is an avascular proliferation of different types of cells between the posterior vitreous cortex and the internal limiting membrane. That causes visual impairment including blurry, distortion, scotoma. Many studies of iERM were done to describe the
