Fundus photo with peripheral hyperpigmentation and bone spicules. Angiogram demonstrating peripheral atrophy and mild vessel leakage. OCT with cystoid macula edema.

Proliferative Sickle Retinopathy A 3-year-old female was referred to BPEI for treatment of congenital cataracts. After bilateral lensectomy and vitrectomy, the patient was noted to have elevated intraocular pressure. She underwent placement of BGI and was incidentally found to have vitreous hemorrh…

Traumatic anterior dislocation of crystalline lens with Descemet’s folds in the cornea. The patient was treated with lensectomy and vitrectomy. Due to the high myopia, there was no need for secondary intraocular lens or contact lens. The final vision uncorrected visual acuity was 20/30 aphakic.

The pseudocyst (yellow arrow) can be a signal that the retinal detachment is chronic. The ultrasound helps to clearly define the fluid filled cavity. It is thought that these are formed by schisis cavities in the outer plexiform layer. If closure of the primary break is not possible, or if the pseu…

Gonococcal Preseptal Cellulitis, Gonococcal Conjunctivitis A 21-year-old female presented to the hospital with 5 days of right eye redness, swelling, discharge and pain. Exam revealed VA OD 20/70, painful EOM and severe conjunctival chemosis and discharge, and eyelid swelling. CT scan revealed righ…

In this condition, vasculitis of both arteries and veins, with translucent exudation, gives a similar appearance to the frosted branches of a tree. (Yellow arrow). Superior nasally, there is also the classic retinal whitening with retinal hemorrhages, also known as a “pizza pie fundus”.

These are caused by failure of the embryonic fissure to close during the second month of development in utero. The iris defect is also known as a "keyhole" pupil. Here, there is not only an iris defect, but also missing tissue in the lens (yellow arrow) and zonules. This can cause difficulties duri…
