Conclusion:
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case treated with aflibercept monotherapy, suggesting the significant role of vascular endothelial growth factor in vascular permeability in Coats and supporting the rationale that antivascular endothelial growth factors are a valuable therapeutic option for Coats disease.

Treatment of bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation with intravitreal steroid implants
Conclusion:
Intravitreal steroid implants resulted in visual acuity improvement and central retinal thickness reduction for up to 20 weeks and may protect against retinal detachments in patients with bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

A CASE REPORT OF CHRONIC ENDOPHTHALMITIS SECONDARY TO AQUAMICROBIUMterrae
Conclusion:
A. terrae is a gram-negative bacillus recovered from polluted soil. This is the first case of postoperative endophthalmitis secondary to A. terrae and the first description of human infection caused by this newly identified microbe. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Purtscher's‒like retinopathy secondary to granulomatosis with polyangiitis following autologous stem cell transplantation
Conclusion:
The authors describe a patient who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation, and subsequently developed granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The presentation of Purtscher's‒like retinopathy suggests that microvascular occlusion in the retina was likely the result of granulomatosis with polyangiitis-driven vasculitis of the precapillary arterioles.

Stellate unilateral nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis: a multimodal imaging analysis and case report
Conclusion:
Improvements and innovations in technology for ophthalmic diagnosis have revolutionized our capacity for diagnostic decision-making. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography are useful tools for diagnosis and follow-up assessment. This fortuitous case gives a window on the importance of a routine specialized ophthalmic examination and how multimodal imaging can depict important and specific findings not evident from a clinical point of view. The subtle but important changes observed in optical coherence tomography angiography and multifocal electroretinograph...

Adaptive optics optical coherence tomography in a case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy
Conclusion:
Adaptive optics OCT documented cone photoreceptors in finer details than conventional OCT and revealed early changes in a patient with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, in an area of the retina thought to be normal on conventional multimodal imaging. These findings may provide important insight into pathogenesis and progression of the disease. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Is vaginal delivery harmful to patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum?
Conclusion:
Pushing during the expulsion phase of VD seems safe in pseudoxanthoma elasticum patients without active choroidal neovascularization, and the presence of angioid streaks alone should not be an indication for elective caesarian section. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Paracentral acute middle maculopathy in a case of high-flow direct carotid cavernous fistula
Conclusion:
We suggest that spectral domain optical coherence tomography be performed in cases of high-flow direct carotid cavernous fistula where the best-corrected visual acuity is reduced out of keeping with other ophthalmic manifestations. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Vitreous hemorrhage in type 3 gaucher disease: an angiographic and pathologic analysis
Conclusion:
Gaucher disease is a rare metabolic condition caused by an autosomal recessive deficiency of glucocerebrosidase. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of hemorrhagic posterior vitreous detachment in Type 3 Gaucher disease, including ultra-widefield imaging, optical coherence tomography angiography, and histopathology.
