Re-inventing cyanoacrylate retinopexy in the 21st century: literature review and case series
Conclusion: We demonstrate that cyanoacrylate is safe and less resource-demanding without a requirement of second surgery to remove a tamponading agent. It could be helpful in eyes with persistent retinal detachment in colobomatous eyes. Because we were able to achieve favorable outcomes without head positioning, we believe it may also be helpful in patients who are not suitable for positioning because of bodily or bony deformities and in retinal detachment with other coexisting trauma.

Surgical removal after iatrogenic subretinal injection of an intravitreal dexamethasone implant
Conclusion and Importance: Subretinal dislodgement of intravitreal implants is a rare and preventable complication. In the current case, we speculated that this complication might have been related to the injection technique, a possible unrecognized retinal perforation before the injection of the implant, or delayed treatment with the implant. Because a retinal detachment and vitreoretinal proliferation were observed, surgical management was required. Increasing widespread application of any technology may lead to a more significant risk of complications, and ophthalmologists should be aware of this potential risk. (So...

Potential new-onset clinically detectable pentosan polysulfate maculopathy years after drug cessation
Conclusion: This case suggests that new-onset clinically detectable pentosan polysulfate maculopathy may develop years after drug cessation. If corroborated, this finding has important ramifications for pentosan polysulfate sodium dosing and surveillance guidelines. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

The progression of macular structural and functional changes in late-onset retinal degeneration
Conclusion: This study has found that the monitoring of the progression of ellipsoid zone disruption and changes in mesopic microperimetry may be useful biomarkers in future clinical trials in patients with late-onset retinal degeneration. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Danon disease: a model of photoreceptor degeneration secondary to primary retinal pigment epithelium disease
Conclusion: A disproportionate loss of the near-infrared FAF signal compared with the short-wavelength FAF signal, outer segment abnormalities, and severe rod dysfunction but relatively preserved cone vision suggests a stereotypical pattern of primary retinal pigment epithelial or parallel retinal pigment epithelial + photoreceptor disease in Danon disease.

Recalcitrant cystoid macular edema? bilateral intraretinal hyporeflective spaces on sd-oct as a presentation of a pituitary macroadenoma
Conclusion: Not all intraretinal hyporeflective spaces in the optical coherence tomography are secondary to a retinal vascular condition. Hyporeflective spaces in the inner nuclear layer on optical coherence tomography imaging that do not leak on fluorescein angiography may be secondary to optic atrophy from chiasmal compression.

Localized conjunctival al-amyloid deposits secondary to a retinal detachment surgery radial explant
Conclusion: This is the first report of localized conjunctival amyloid deposition, secondary to a retinal detachment radial explant. It is proposed that the localized amyloid deposit arose from the ocular surface irritative effects of the radial explant. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Reactive amyloid a protein amyloidosis in the setting of infective endocarditis manifesting as bilateral orbitopathy and choroidopathy
Conclusion: Orbital and choroidal Amyloid A protein amyloidosis can induce a local inflammatory response manifesting as orbital swelling, papillitis, posterior scleritis, choroiditis, and exudative retinal detachment, which responds to steroid therapy. The underlying pathology is likely a reactive inflammatory, vasoocclusive process involving the choriocapillaris and orbital vasculature to the presence of amyloid fibrils.

Concomitant pyogenic liver and intraocular abscesses in klebsiella endogenous endophthalmitis: case report and review of literature
Conclusion: Klebsiella pneumoniae endogenous endophthalmitis is a rare and potentially devastating disease that requires high clinical suspicion and early diagnosis. Practitioners should consider systemic etiologies and communicate guarded prognoses in this serious systemic disease. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Delayed-onset streptococcus intermedius endophthalmitis following anti–vascular endothelial growth factor intravitreal injection
Purpose: Endophthalmitis following intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor injections is frequently caused by Streptococcus viridans organisms and tends to be aggressive. Herein, we present a case of postinjection Streptococcus viridans endophthalmitis presenting in an atypically delayed fashion with good visual outcome. Methods: Single clinical case report. Results: A 91-year-old woman treated with aflibercept for exudative age-related macular degeneration of the left eye presented to the emergency department with mild pain and visual acuity decline to counting fingers, pigmented anterior ...

Endophthalmitis presenting as retinal vasculitis less than 24 hours after aflibercept injection: a case report
Conclusion: Streptococcus salivarius is a virulent organism that may cause an endophthalmitis early after intravitreal injection with an unusual presentation of hemorrhagic retinal vasculitis. A high index of suspicion for infectious endophthalmitis should be maintained for all patients presenting with ocular inflammation and worsening vision in the days after intravitreal injections.

Minimal gas vitrectomy technique for reducing risk of retinal displacement following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair
Conclusion: The minimal gas vitrectomy technique has the potential to minimize retinal displacement by using a smaller gas tamponade compared to standard vitrectomy in certain cases with specific postoperative positioning instructions. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Full-thickness macular hole formation and spontaneous closure during intravitreal ranibizumab therapy for central retinal vein occlusion
Conclusion: Full-thickness macular hole formation in acute central retinal vein occlusion after intravitreal ranibizumab, although rare, can occur in eyes with massive macular edema and absence of posterior vitreous detachment after intravitreal pharmacotherapy. Spontaneous closure of secondary holes can take place with improvement in visual acuity. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Cavitary choroidal nevus: a case report
Conclusion: Benign pigmented choroidal lesions can show internal cavitations likely secondary to internal necrosis. This feature does not represent a sign of malignancy of the lesion. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography is a feasible imaging tool for the visualization of the internal cavitations and to follow their evolution over time.
