vitelliform macular dystrophy/edema

OBJECTIVE To correlate the clinical and histopathologic features of Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD). METHODS Two eyes were obtained postmortem from a patient with BVMD. The patient's clinical information was reviewed. Series sections of the globes were performed and sequentially stained

OBJECTIVE To analyze retinal structure and function in vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD) due to mutations in BEST1. METHODS Patients from five Swedish and four Danish families were examined with electrooculography (EOG), full-field electroretinography (ffERG), multifocal ERG (mfERG), optical

BACKGROUND To describe the effect of intravitreal bevacizumab for the treatment of choroidal neovascularisation secondary to vitelliform dystrophy of the macula (Best's disease). METHODS A 13-year-old boy with confirmed Best's disease presented with visual acuity (VA) loss due to secondary choroidal

UNASSIGNED The purpose of the study was to describe macular changes in treatment-naïve eyes with Eales disease using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). UNASSIGNED A cross-sectional study was done on 79 eyes of 66 patients with Eales disease. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA),

BACKGROUND Few potential candidate genes coding for type I and II receptors of transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway and the serotonin transporter have been associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The latter being a phenotype for high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), these genes are

Since 1974 (Gass), many publications have referred to a macular abnormality that is similar to Best's vitelliform dystrophy, but occurs in adults and shows a normal or subnormal electro-oculogram. In our retrospective study, 85 patients with adult macular vitelliform degeneration were included; 31

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of macular translocation surgery 360 in blinding submacular diseases other than age-related macular degeneration. METHODS A retrospective, consecutive case review was performed of subjects treated with macular translocation surgery 360 for a submacular disease other

OBJECTIVE To study clinical characteristics of ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS). METHODS Retrospective study. Data, including sex, age, systemic diseases, best corrected visual acuity, anterior segment, fundus, fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA), transcranial Doppler (TCD) and digital subtraction

OBJECTIVE To report a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a patient with cone dystrophy (CD). METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 20-year-old woman presented with diminished vision in her right eye. Fundus examination showed perifoveal retinal pigment epithelial changes and retinal hemorrhage

OBJECTIVE To report a case of nonparaneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy presenting with severe peripheral retinal vasoocclusion. METHODS Interventional case report. METHODS A 44-year-old woman complained of blurred vision and photopsia in both eyes. She has no history of cancer or autoimmune disease.

OBJECTIVE To describe the phenotypic variability in 22 patients with PRPH2 gene mutations and to report six novel mutations. METHODS Retrospective study. METHODS Clinical examinations included color vision testing, perimetry, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein angiography, optical coherence

OBJECTIVE To report the clinical and genetic findings of 9 Japanese patients with autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy (ARB). METHODS Retrospective, multicenter observational case series. METHODS Nine ARB patients from 7 unrelated Japanese families that were examined in 3 institutions in Japan were
