Clostridial endophthalmitis: clinical presentations, management outcomes, and review of literature
Conclusion:
Commonest setting of clostridial endophthalmitis is post–open-globe injury. Despite treatment with appropriate antibiotics, the visual and anatomical outcome is unsatisfactory because of high organism virulence. Early vitrectomy may allow for globe salvage and potential vision. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Long-term visual acuity preservation in sorsby fundus dystrophy with corticosteroid treatment
Conclusion:
TIMP3 has numerous effects including controlling vascular endothelial growth factor signaling and tumor necrosis factor alpha production. Corticosteroids have the potential to modulate both cytokines. This is the longest reported treatment follow-up of Sorsby fundus dystrophy with macular neovascularization, and the patient retained excellent visual acuity.

Multimodal imaging of two unconventional cases of bartonella neuroretinitis
Conclusion:
Our cases highlight the necessity of recognizing more unusual posterior segment presentations of ocular bartonellosis. Multimodal retinal imaging including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography may help better characterize lesions. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Serology negative bartonella neuroretinitis in an immunocompromised patient
Conclusion:
In immunocompromised patients, infection by Bartonella henselae can present as severe disseminated disease. Establishing the diagnosis can be challenging as serologic testing is often unrevealing in the setting of a blunted immune response. Polymerase chain reaction has been used in select cases to establish the diagnosis. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Immunoglobulin g4–related ophthalmic disease mimicking intraocular lymphoma: a case report
Conclusion:
We describe a case of immunoglobulin G4–related choroiditis mimicking intraocular lymphoma. The proper use of multimodal imaging associated with laboratory investigations was helpful to reach the correct diagnosis. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Multiple retinal pigment epithelium apertures associated with pseudo-vitelliform lymphomatous maculopathy
Conclusion:
The macular lesion may be a sign of macular infiltration, a case of paraneoplastic cloudy vitelliform submaculopathy, or coexistence of both. Retinal pigment epithelium apertures are not disease-specific and are described in vitreoretinal lymphoma for the first time. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Choroidal neovascular membrane after fine-needle aspiration biopsy of vitreoretinal lymphoma
Conclusion:
This case demonstrates the rare development of choroidal neovascular membrane at the site of diagnostic transvitreal fine-needle aspiration biopsy of subretinal pigment epithelial infiltrates in an eye with vitreoretinal lymphoma. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Triangular sign of amalric in intravascular lymphoma
Conclusion:
Triangular pigmentary changes indicate choroidal ischemia and can be seen in many conditions. This patient presented with the triangular sign of Amalric in both eyes, including her asymptomatic left eye. Intravascular lymphoma should be considered in cases of concomitant inflammatory brain lesions and chorioretinal ischemia. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy after immunization with multiple vaccines
Conclusion:
This case report adds to the body of knowledge regarding possible atypical interplay between vaccines and specific T-cell receptors of the host immune system and adds Polio and Tetanus to the growing list of vaccines potentially triggering acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy. Increased awareness of the presentation of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy and that it may arise after immunization may also improve evaluation of acute changes in visual acuity.

Acute macular neuroretinopathy as the presenting manifestation of covid-19 infection
Conclusion:
Patients with COVID-19 may rarely present with signs and symptoms of ocular disease. This case report describes a case of sudden visual loss caused by acute macular neuroretinopathy as the presenting manifestation of active COVID-19 infection. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Acute macular neuroretinopathy after covid-19 vaccination
Conclusion/Discussion:
To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case of acute macular neuroretinopathy after coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination. Optical coherence tomography angiography did not reveal any signal attenuation, and multifocal electroretinogram and central visual fields were normal indicating that near-infrared imaging and spectral domain optical coherence tomography remain the gold standard in diagnosing this condition especially in smaller lesions.

Acute macular neuroretinopathy after sars-cov-2 vaccination
This report highlights the development of acute macular neuroretinopathy after a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in an otherwise healthy female patient. A single case cannot establish cause and effect, and millions of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered safely at the time of writing. However, this may be a rare association, and clinicians can consider inquiring about recent vaccination history in patients presenting with acute macular neuroretinopathy.

Case report of the role of optical coherence tomography in recombinant growth hormone therapy
Conclusion:
Although PTCS is a rare complication after rhGH therapy, its detrimental effects cannot be ignored. In our case report, we used optical coherence tomography RNFL values in addition to clinical findings to carefully titrate the rhGH dosage to prevent a flare-up of PTCS. Despite the obvious need for larger studies, our case report shows the value of RNFL thickness measured by optical coherence tomography and the valuable additional data it provides to refine rhGH therapy as an adjunct noninvasive method in PTCS.
