Intraoperative three-dimensional fluorescein angiography–guided pars plana vitrectomy for branch retinal vein occlusion
Conclusion:
Three-dimensional fluorescein angiography–guided pars plana vitrectomy, a novel approach that fully uses the advantages of digital-assisted vitrectomy, can be one of the useful techniques for the treatment of branch retinal vein occlusion with vitreous hemorrhage and neovascularization elsewhere.

Development of choroidal neovascularization after treatment with photodynamic therapy in a 5-year-old female with choroidal osteoma
Conclusion:
Choroidal osteoma is a benign tumor that can result in vision-threatening complications, caused by tumor growth and tumor decalcification. Photodynamic therapy is an effective modality in inducing choroidal osteoma decalcification and stabilization; however, CNV due to reperfusion following photodynamic therapy can be seen in the retina.

Longitudinal swept source optical coherence tomography angiography of extrafoveal polyps after combination therapy
Conclusion:
Swept source optical coherence tomography angiography is an effective noninvasive imaging modality to diagnose and longitudinally follow-up extrafoveal polyps postintervention. Laser photocoagulation with anti–vascular endothelial growth factor achieved regression of polyps in all cases and this was maintained over 12 months. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Ocular injuries associated with elastic exercise bands
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. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

A case of migrating and resolving subretinal perfluorocarbon liquid following retinal detachment surgery
Conclusion:
This report shows the potential of PFCL to migrate through the retina toward the vitreous. Rather than opt for a second surgery to remove small PFCL bubbles, observation may be clinically appropriate in selected cases. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Reversible bilateral subfoveal ellipsoid zone focal thickening associated with overdose of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors intake
Conclusion:
A bilateral ellipsoid zone subfoveal focal thickening may be related to a yellowish symmetrical spot on the fovea in patients with a history of phosphodiesterase Type 5 inhibitors overdose intake. Functional and structural findings are reversible in a short-term period after discontinuing the oral treatment. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Triple therapy with rituximab, intravenous immunoglobulin, and intravitreal corticosteroids for melanoma-associated retinopathy: ttriic does the trick
Conclusion:
This is the first reported case of the utility of triple therapy with rituximab, intravenous immunoglobulin, and intravitreal steroids for successful management of melanoma-associated retinopathy as demonstrated by improvement in acuity, symptoms, visual fields, and electroretinography.

Association of pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy with a pathogenic variant in the hk1 gene
Discussion:
This case describes a pathogenic variant in HK1, a gene that has been associated with RP, but has not been previously reported in association with the pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy phenotype. This expands the phenotypes associated with HK1 pathogenic variant, p.Glu851Lys, and the genetic association of pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy to include HK1. Although pigmented paravenous retinochoroidal atrophy has been previously reported to be associated with CRB1 gene, no previous relationship to the HK1 gene has been described.

Peripheral optical coherence tomography findings in a choroideremia carrier
Conclusion:
Choroideremia carriers may manifest widespread photoreceptor alterations, which may be more extensive than apparent on fundus autofluorescence imaging. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Proliferative retinopathy in a 13-year-old with adams–oliver syndrome
Conclusion:
Retinal manifestations of Adams–Oliver syndrome as observed with ultra-widefield fundus imaging may resemble those of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. Treatment of avascular retina with panretinal photocoagulation can be considered. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Retinal pigment epithelial lesions associated with a sporadic case of familial adenomatous polyposis
Conclusion:
The pigmented retinal pigment epithelium lesions of FAP have a characteristic appearance and it is vital for the retinal specialist to be familiar with them. De novo mutations in the APC gene are responsible for 20% to 30% of FAP cases. In the presence of the characteristic retinal pigment epithelium lesions, it is important to send the patient for work up of FAP even in the absence of family history of FAP.

Multimodal imaging of multifocal choroiditis with adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy
Conclusion:
Adaptive optics imaging and microperimetry may detect biomarkers that help to characterize the nature and activity of multifocal choroiditis lesions and to help monitor response to therapy. With timely intervention, structural abnormalities in the outer retina and choroid can be treated, and anatomical improvements precede improvements in visual function.

Acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy associated with primary epstein–barr virus infection
Conclusion:
Acute exudative polymorphous vitelliform maculopathy may be associated with an acute Epstein–Barr virus infection. Acutely, multimodal imaging revealed findings consistent with RPE dysfunction and reduced photopigment density. Subsequent accumulation of vitelliform material gradually resolved over an 8-month follow-up. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Atypical central serous chorioretinopathy with choroidal detachment: a case report
Conclusion:
Posterior choroidal loculation of fluid is a described entity in central serous chorioretinopathy. The possible explanations for anterior choroidal loculation of fluid in this case are: either a fresh excessive leakage of fluid from the posterior choroid and that fluid may have traversed to the peripheral choroid, or diffuse choroidal leakage extending up to the equatorial region, which resulted in peripheral choroidal thickening and suprachoroidal fluid accumulation.
