Vitamin a deficiency monitored by quantitative short wavelength fundus autofluorescence in a case of bariatric surgery
Conclusion:
Oral vitamin A supplementation may not be sufficient after mal-absorptive surgery and a quantitative and noninvasive short wavelength fundus autofluorescence imaging technique may be useful to monitor the status of vitamin A and the carotenoids comprising macular pigment in the retina.

New optical coherence tomography angiography findings on an intraretinal vascular process secondary to toxoplasma retinochoroiditis: 2 case reports
Conclusion:
We report a new finding associated with Toxoplasma chorioretinitis: an abnormal intraretinal vascular process that resolved without anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy but after toxoplasmosis treatment alone. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Pseudomonal choroidal abscess after routine pars plana vitrectomy in an immunosuppressed patient
Conclusion:
Isolated choroidal bacterial abscess is a possible, but rare, complication of pars plana vitrectomy. Although visual prognosis is poor, especially for pseudomonal choroidal abscesses, aggressive treatment with timely choroidal drainage, systemic antibiotics, and intravitreal antibiotics may allow recovery of some ambulatory vision.

Retinal neuronal ectopia: a new entity in the differential diagnosis of retinoblastoma
Conclusion:
We believe that this case is unique in the human retina and highlights the need for specialist differential diagnosis. Although rare, retinal neuronal ectopia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retinoblastoma. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Cytomegalovirus retinitis with belatacept immunosuppression
Conclusion:
Renal transplant patients converted to belatacept immunosuppression may be at an increased risk for herpes virus infection, and thus herpes virus retinitis. Although the degree of risk remains uncharacterized, patients on belatacept therapy who are at the high risk of CMV infection (i.e., donor-positive/recipient-negative patients) should be counseled on the presenting signs and symptoms of CMV retinitis. In these cases, clinicians should also consider regular monitoring of serum CMV titers or continuation of antiviral prophylaxis. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Bap1 germline mutation with iridociliochoroidal melanoma and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma
Conclusion:
BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome can promote risk of uveal melanoma and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Cancer screening for these malignancies is warranted. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Mitogen-activated protein inhibitors: full-field electroretinogram demonstrating generalized retinal dysfunction
Conclusion:
Mitogen-activated protein inhibitors may affect global retinal function, as opposed to the serous detachments that are concentrated in the posterior pole. This may be of importance in further understanding the underlying pathologic mechanisms. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Retinal dystrophy in jeune syndrome: a multimodal imaging characterization
Conclusion:
This is a case of Jeune syndrome with retinal abnormalities studied with fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography. Retinal noninvasive multimodal imaging could provide significant insight in the retinal involvement of patients affected by Jeune syndrome and should have an essential role in the multidisciplinary diagnostic approach and follow-up.

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy after aortic aneurysm repair
Conclusion:
This case describes paracentral acute middle maculopathy as a rare ocular sign of cholesterol embolization in postoperative intraaortic operations. The diagnosis of this complication led to prompt clinical care with a multidisciplinary approach. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

An atypical case of optic disk pseudo-duplication with proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Conclusion:
We describe a unique case of proliferative diabetic retinopathy associated with pseudo-duplication of the optic disk. This case is unique in the peripheral location of the pseudo-duplication, the presence of spontaneous choroidovitreal neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and the appearance of neovascularization elsewhere mimicking neovascularization of the duplicated disk.

Case report of abiotrophia defectiva endophthalmitis after repeated injections of dexamethasone intravitreal implant (ozurdex)
Conclusion:
Intravitreal dexamethasone implant–associated endophthalmitis in the setting of systemic immunosuppression is a rare and challenging situation. Both local and systemic immunosuppression may delay wound healing, predisposing to wound leakage and consequent endophthalmitis. Despite repeated intravitreal antimicrobial injection and vitrectomy with implant removal, A. defectiva endophthalmitis carried a poor visual outcome. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Prolonged ozurdex-macular contact following vitrectomy for macular hole
Conclusion:
Vitreomacular traction with edema may worsen after cataract surgery and ozurdex injection. Ophthalmologists should keep in mind this rare possible complication and make patients aware of the same. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Conversion and spontaneous reversion of lamellar hole from full-thickness macular hole
Conclusion:
Although spontaneous closure of full-thickness macular hole after retinal detachment repair has been reported, the conversion and spontaneous reversion of a lamellar hole from full-thickness macular hole after vitrectomy provide insight into the tractional forces involved in the pathophysiology of lamellar and full-thickness macular holes.
