Unraveled fringe-like margins and biphasic autofluorescence of unilateral retinal pigment epithelium dysgenesis
Conclusion:
In this case, URPED demonstrated biphasic autofluorescence implying RPE dysfunction in the hypoautofluorescent area and partial RPE function in the lacey isoautofluorescent region. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Multimodal evidence of type 3 neovascularization in enhanced s-cone syndrome
Conclusion:
We provide evidence of retinal arteriovenous anastomosis of the superficial retinal plexus to a subretinal neovascular complex in patients with enhanced S-cone syndrome and point to similarities with Type 3 neovascularization in macular telengiectasia Type 2 (MacTel2) and age-related macular degeneration. These findings provide insights into the anatomy of neovascularization in these pathologies and may lead to hypotheses of their etiologies. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Enhanced s-cone syndrome: visual function, cross-sectional imaging, and cellular structure with adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy
Conclusion:
Evidence for supernumerary cones (at least twice the normal complement) by AOSLO and spectral domain optical coherence tomography was associated with supernormal S-cone sensitivities and electroretinogram responses confirming previous in vivo findings in postmortem human specimens. Smaller than normal cones in enhanced S-cone syndrome may represent “hybrid” photoreceptors analogous to the rd7/rd7 murine model of the disease. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Evaluation of segmental retinal arteritis with optical coherence tomography angiography
Conclusion:
Vessels with SRA demonstrated hyperreflectivity highlighting the vessel wall on spectral domain OCT. Optical coherence tomography angiography showed narrowing of the flow signal within these segments suggesting reduced lumen diameter. Coupling these finding with previous indocyanine green imaging findings in SRA, the collective data suggest the plaques are localized within the vessel wall to either the endothelium or the muscular tunica media without occlusion of the vessel lumen.

Persistent placoid maculopathy-like findings in patients with giant cell arteritis

Transient paradoxical worsening of vision due to gravitational shift of subretinal fluid after photodynamic therapy for central serous chorioretinopathy
Conclusion:
This is the first report to describe this transient atypical adverse visual outcome early after photodynamic therapy in a central serous chorioretinopathy patient, caused by a gravitational shift of viscous subretinal fluid. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Resolution of a subfoveal choroidal cavern after half-dose photodynamic therapy for central serous chorioretinopathy
Conclusion:
After half-dose verteporfin photodynamic therapy for chorioretinopathy, resolution of subretinal fluid was accompanied by resolution of a subfoveal choroidal cavern at 3 months and a 39.5% reduction in subfoveal choroidal thickness at 1 year. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Cytomegalovirus retinitis after an intravitreal dexamethasone implant in an immunocompetent patient
Conclusion:
Cytomegalovirus retinitis has been associated with local steroid therapy. This has been described in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The intravitreal dexamethasone implant may cause local immunosuppression and result in cytomegalovirus retinitis in immunocompetent patients. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis: multimodal imaging and electrophysiologic findings before and after treatment
Conclusion:
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of the multimodal imaging and electrophysiology findings in a patient with acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis, before the development of the classic placoid lesion. Improvement of structural and functional pathology after systemic treatment is demonstrated. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Foveal outer retinal hyperreflectivity: a novel optical coherence tomography finding in idiopathic multifocal choroiditis
Conclusion:
Foveal outer retinal hyperreflectivity is a novel optical coherence tomography finding in eyes with active MFC. Additional studies will be required to address the prevalence and prognostic importance of foveal outer retinal hyperreflectivity. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy after epiretinal membrane removal

Diminutive paracentral acute middle maculopathy lesion
Conclusion:
Detection of the lesion was aided by using OCT angiographic scans, which have a much higher scan density than conventional OCT evaluations. The diminutive abnormality was consistent with a paracentral acute middle maculopathy lesion, although smaller than those previously reported. Micro–paracentral acute middle maculopathy lesions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of positive scotomas. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Spontaneous closure of a macular hole resulting from yag laser capsulotomy in a 13-year-old girl
Conclusion:
This is a novel report in a pediatric patient of spontaneous resolution of a full-thickness macular hole induced by YAG laser capsulotomy. If a macular hole is noted after YAG capsulotomy, consideration should be given to initial close observation rather than surgical intervention as spontaneous resolution may occur.
