M üller muscle-Conjunctival Resection (MMCR) Surgery: A Comprehensive Literature Review
CONCLUSION: MMCR is a well-established surgical technique used to correct upper eyelid ptosis that results from dysfunction or attenuation of the levator aponeurosis. MMCR proved to be a safe and effective procedure with a high patient satisfaction rate and low risk of complications.PMID:38659353 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241249505 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy and cotton wool spots in a patient with ocular migraine: A case report
In this study, we report paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) and cotton wool spots (CWS) in a patient with ocular migraine. A 74-year-old man presented with persistent paracentral scotoma in the right eye that began a week prior. His visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left. Dilated fundoscopy revealed CWS in the right eye. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) showed hyper-reflective bands in the inner nuclear layer corresponding to parafoveal lesions seen on near-infrared imaging in the right eye consistent with the diagnosis of PAMM. Further laboratory studies were unremarka...

Open-source, 3D printable IOL holder for detailed, smartphone-based anterior segment photography
Eur J Ophthalmol. 2024 Apr 24:11206721241248305. doi: 10.1177/11206721241248305. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSmartphones are increasingly relevant resources in medical practice as they are ubiquitous and reasonably cheap. Among the advantages of using smartphones in medical practise, there is the possibility of obtaining reproducible photographic documentation of various conditions. This is particularly true in the ophthalmic field, where anterior segment color photography plays a significant role in the diagnosis and the management of ocular surface diseases. Here we propose an original design for an open-source smartph...

Newly recognized orbital malformations in kabuki syndrome: A case report
Eur J Ophthalmol. 2024 Apr 24:11206721241249224. doi: 10.1177/11206721241249224. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTKabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare congenital disorder with distinctive characteristics. Herein, we describe a KS patient carrying a novel mutation in the KMT2D gene, c.11785C > T (p.Gln3929*). The patient presented with typical eyelid deformities, including eversion of the lateral lower eyelids, long palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, and medial epicanthus. Orbital computed tomography revealed orbital bone malformation with temporally and inferiorly displaced zygomatic bone. The bilateral orbits were shallow with ...

Atypical case of choroidal osteoma associated to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and preretinal neovascular membrane
CONCLUSION: Our case report represents an exceptional and atypical association between pre-retinal neovascularization, PCV and choroidal osteoma. While the mechanisms underlying the development of PCV and pre-retinal neovascularization in the setting of CO are not well understood, it is imperative for ophthalmologists to recognize this association as a potential cause of sudden vision loss in patients with CO, and to consider appropriate diagnostic and management strategies.PMID:38644785 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241249218 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Characterization of central-involved diabetic macular edema using OCT and OCTA
CONCLUSIONS: CI-DME and CSME appear to represent different entities. Eyes with CI-DME show increases in abnormal retinal fluid associated with increased retinal vascular perfusion in the DCP. Eyes with CSME are apparently associated with decreased retinal vascular perfusion in the DCP and abnormal fluid in the outer retina.PMID:38644796 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241248478 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Retinal vascular abnormalities in myotonic dystrophy assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography - Cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Our results show that DM is associated not only with the classic pigmentary changes but also with superficial and deep retinal microvasculature abnormalities, suggesting that these changes may be related to local hypoperfusion. Optical coherence tomography angiography is a useful tool for the diagnosis and characterization of retinal changes in DM and should be part of the standard evaluation of these patients.PMID:38644803 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241247424 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

The HUC progression score: A new method for determining KERATOCONUS progression
CONCLUSIONS: The the new progression score of the Cruces University Hospital is a method based on the real repeatability limit for keratoconic eyes. Moreover, it is easy to interpret and can be implemented with Pentacam software. It provides a numerical value that evaluates both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea and corneal aberrations in the evolution of keratoconus.PMID:38632934 | DOI:10.1177/11206721241247587 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Eur J Ophthalmol. 2024 Apr 17:11206721241247582. doi: 10.1177/11206721241247582. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 45-year-old male with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome presented with vision loss in his right eye after discontinuing treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was found to have bullous retinal detachment (RD) in the right eye and was started on subcutaneous adalimumab with oral corticosteroid following three doses of pulse corticosteroid. But when RD did not resolve after 4 months of treatment and ultrasound B scan showed bullous RD with retino-retinal adhesion, he was planned for surgical intervention. Du...
