Suspected intrauterine injury causing abusive ocular trauma
Conclusion:
At-risk newborns will benefit from an examination of the retinal periphery and wide field fluorescein angiography. Intrauterine abusive ocular trauma should be included in the differential of retinal hemorrhage and avascular retinal periphery. It is imperative for clinicians to recognize this presentation to prevent progression of associated visual morbidity. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Multimodal imaging of crb1 retinitis pigmentosa with a peripheral retinal tumor
Conclusion:
Gene-crumbs 1–associated RP may be characterized by preservation of the para-arteriolar retinal pigment epithelium and slow progression and may also feature a benign peripheral retinal tumor. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Branch retinal artery occlusion with paracentral acute middle maculopathy presumably related to heavy cannabis use
Conclusion:
Branch retinal artery occlusion and paracentral acute middle maculopathy may be related to heavy cannabis use as the result of transient arterial vasospasm. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Autofluorescence and yellowing subhyaloid blood with proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Conclusion:
Fundus autofluorescence is a useful modality to image subhyaloid blood and may lend important insights into the fluorophores that hyperfluoresce. The blood breakdown products are potentially toxic and autofluorescence imaging may offer clues to their presence. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Spontaneous lamellar macular holes closure
Conclusion:
This report describes two cases of lamellar macular hole in which ERP increased over time, resulting in lamellar macular hole closure. Such observations may suggest a spontaneous healing process driven by glial cell proliferation. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Intraoperative optical coherence tomography and endoscopy-guided explantation of argus ii device
Conclusion:
Explantation of the Argus II device can be a difficult surgery, and intraoperative optical coherence tomography and endoscopy can be used to help avoid potential complications. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Nmnat1-associated cone–rod dystrophy: evidence for a spectrum of foveal maldevelopment
Conclusion:
NMNAT1 mutations cause a consistent phenotype characterized by early-onset, progressive, cone>rod retinawide dysfunction and predominantly central abnormalities ranging from a hypoplastic to an atrophic fovea, supporting a critical role for NMNAT1 in central retinal development and maintenance. Relatively preserved inner retina and detectable photoreceptors may become therapeutic targets. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

A novel approach to scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lenses and capsular tension rings and segments in deep-set eyes
Conclusion:
The advantages of this procedure include a smaller diameter instrument (FlexLoop) as compared to the 25-gauge forceps typically employed, an easier to perform surgical maneuver that alleviates the need for both precise placement and constant tension to be exerted by the surgeon to grasp the sutures, as well as an instrument that can function when bent up to 45° to help accommodate deep-set eyes requiring this procedure.

Epidermal growth factor receptor expression in a case of focal nodular gliosis of the retina
Conclusion:
This study demonstrated epidermal growth factor receptor expression in eyes with FNG of the retina. Oncogenic epidermal growth factor receptor might trigger and amplify the expression and function of endothelial vascular endothelial growth factor. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Peg-leg arterioles: an adaptation to chronic retinal hypoperfusion
Conclusion:
Chronic severe retinal hypoperfusion due to profound carotid occlusive disease can lead to adaptive remodeling of the retinal vasculature in a pattern that closely resembles the iconic image of a pirate's peg leg. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Case of idiopathic uveal effusion that developed proliferative diabetic retinopathy after scleral resection surgery
Conclusion:
Clinicians should be aware that treatment of a uveal effusion by scleral resection can lead to a progression of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy to proliferative diabetic retinopathy. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Diagnosis of vortex varix using optical coherence tomography and scleral indentation
Conclusion:
This case illustrates that the diagnosis of a vortex vein varix can be made in clinics using noninvasive tools such as optical coherence tomography. The anatomical localization of the lesion and the pressure-evoked fluctuation of size and shape are important clues which lead to the diagnosis. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)
