Central posterior lens capsule used instead of an inverted internal limiting membrane flap: a clinic-pathological case report
Conclusion:
Our analysis revealed positive immunoreactivity of macroglia and microglia cells of the PLC tissue that was used to patch a refractory FTMH. Similar immunostaining of PLC material and internal limiting membrane suggests the PLC transplantation as an alternative treatment option for refractory FTMH.

A case of traumatic soft contact lens dislocation into the vitreous space after corneal perforation in a phakic eye: a novel indication for membraneblue-dual
Conclusion:
MembraneBlue-Dual can be used to facilitate complete removal of a clear and otherwise difficult to see corneal contact lens from the vitreous cavity. This case also demonstrates the importance of exploratory vitrectomy in all trauma cases with posterior segment involvement, even when imaging modalities show no signs of intraocular foreign bodies.

Dark without pressure in a case of choroidal osteoma
Conclusion:
The examination and imaging findings in this patient suggest a unique association between two relatively uncommon lesions, choroidal osteoma, and dark without pressure. Although these two lesions may simply be coinciding in the same eye, there may be an association with space-occupying lesions causing a change in photoreceptor structure.

Cone photoreceptor integrity assessed with adaptive optics imaging after laser pointer-induced retinal injury
Conclusion:
Exposure to laser pointer radiation, however brief, can result in damage to the retina. Here, repeated imaging nine months later showed a decrease in the size of the lesions (ranging from 3.7 to 23.9%) compared with the first time point. However, the longer-term prognosis is likely permanent scarring. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Densiron 68 heavy silicone oil as a short-term intraocular tamponade for macula-on inferior retinal detachments—a case series
Conclusion:
The high anatomic success rate, good visual outcomes, and minimal complications suggest that Densiron 68 can be considered as a short-term tamponade for macula-on retinal detachments with inferior pathology. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Posterior tractional membranes following anti–vascular endothelial growth factor for retinopathy of prematurity
Conclusion:
Formation of tractional retinal membranes has been associated with anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. These cases describe the formation of posterior tractional membranes after anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. This potential ocular outcome should be considered when determining treatment plans for retinopathy of prematurity. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Multiple bilateral retinal breaks as a long-term complication of retinopathy of prematurity treated with intravitreal bevacizumab
Discussion:
Patients with a history of ROP have a lifelong increased risk of retinal tears, and the long-term effects of intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy for ROP are not well understood or documented. It is unknown whether there are differences in the rates of long-term ocular complications of ROP after anti–vascular endothelial growth factor versus laser treatment of ROP. Studies are needed to compare the long-term benefits and risks associated with both approaches. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Bevacizumab for post vitrectomy cystoid macular edema in a silicone oil–filled eye
Discussion:
This case demonstrates the use IVB for CME in a silicone oil–filled eye. It was found that IVB was safe and effective in CME associated with a silicone oil–filled eye. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Multimodal imaging of recurrent cystoid macular edema associated with poems syndrome responsive to intravitreal dexamethasone implant
Conclusion:
Cystoid macular edema may develop in POEMS syndrome in the absence of systemic findings, elevated serum vascular endothelial growth factor, or optic nerve edema. Previously unreported peripheral vascular leakage was demonstrated on ultra-wide field fluorescein angiography. Dexamethasone implant was the most effective of used therapies to treat CME.

Bilateral epiretinal membrane formation after intravitreal injections of autologous mesenchymal stem cells
Conclusion:
Stem cell therapy has been gaining popularity as a potential intervention for progressive retinal and optic nerve diseases; however, the mechanism of action of bone marrow–derived stem cells is still not well understood and may result in unintended cell differentiation.

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy associated with branch retinal artery occlusion due to polycythemia in a patient with tetralogy of fallot
Purpose:
To describe the occurrence of paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) associated with branch retinal artery occlusion secondary to polycythemia in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot.
Methods:
Case report.
Results:
A 30-year-old man presented with acute vision loss and superior visual deficit in his left eye for two days. His medical record had a tetralogy of Fallot. Complete blood count showed an erythrocyte count of 9.88 million/µL (4.4–5.6), hemoglobin of 17.7 g/dL (13.5–16.9), and hematocrit of 65.4% (40–49). The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/25 in the left eye, and a diagnosi...

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy in a patient with frequent migraine with aura: a case report
Conclusion:
We propose that migraine is a risk factor for the development of PAMM. The changes in retinal microvasculature in migraine may increase a patient's susceptibility to retinal ischemia. Other risk factors for retinal ischemia, including diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sickle cell disease, and orbital trauma, have been shown to be associated with PAMM. Further research should be conducted to determine whether there is a definite relationship between migraine and PAMM. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Central retinal vein occlusion with severe macular edema in early pregnancy
Conclusion:
Although pregnancy seems to aggravate central retinal vein occlusion –associated macular edema, the visual loss may be reversible. Intravitreal steroid seems to be effective during pregnancy with no apparent systemic or fetal complications. Young patients with retinal vein occlusion and center-involving macular edema may stabilize with minimal treatment. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)
