• Retinal Hemangioblastoma - Macular OCT

    Oct 11 2026 by César Adrián Gómez Valdivia, MD

    The foveal depression is lost and replaced by large central intraretinal cystoid spaces. Numerous hyperreflective foci in the outer retina, consistent with hard exudates, cast posterior shadows. Subretinal fluid extends beneath the fovea. The inner retinal surface is irregular, and the outer retinal bands are poorly defined in the subfoveal region.

  • Retinal Hemangioblastoma - Raster OCT

    Oct 11 2026 by César Adrián Gómez Valdivia, MD

    The infrared reference image shows a round, dark, well-circumscribed lesion temporal to the macula, about 5 mm from the fovea. The B-scan through it reveals a dome-shaped elevation of the inner retina with a hyperreflective surface and dense posterior shadowing. The adjacent retina shows intraretinal cystoid spaces, hyperreflective foci consistent with hard exudates, and subretinal fluid.

  • Retinal Hemangioblastoma - FA

    Oct 11 2026 by César Adrián Gómez Valdivia, MD

    The dilated superotemporal artery fills rapidly in the earliest frames, while the tortuous inferotemporal vein shows delayed laminar filling. The temporal peripheral lesion demonstrates intense early hyperfluorescence with progressive leakage that obscures its margins by one minute. Hypofluorescent areas with hyperfluorescent borders correspond to the chorioretinal scars. A round hyperfluorescent focus temporal to the fovea increases in intensity throughout the sequence.

  • Retinal Hemangioblastoma - RG

    Oct 11 2026 by César Adrián Gómez Valdivia, MD

    A markedly dilated and tortuous pair of retinal vessels arises from the optic disc and courses along the temporal arcades, converging on an elevated orange-red lesion in the temporal periphery. The lesion is surrounded by fibroglial tissue with preretinal traction. Lipid exudates are present in the macula and along the inferotemporal arcade. Pigmented chorioretinal scars from prior treatment are seen temporal to the macula and in the mid-periphery.

  • The Disappearing Gold: Oguchi Disease

    Oct 6 2026 by Abhishek Karra, MS

    Color fundus photographs before (upper panels) and after dark adaptation (lower panels) demonstrate the characteristic Mizuo–Nakamura phenomenon. The diffuse golden-yellow fundus sheen of Oguchi disease markedly diminishes following dark adaptation, revealing a relatively normal fundus appearance.

  • Chronic retinal detachment in adult regressed retinopathy of prematurity previously treated with aggressive laser photocoagulation

    Oct 5 2026 by Joaquín Sosa Lockward, MD

    Color fundus photography demonstrates chronic retinal detachment in a 22-year-old patient with a history of extreme prematurity (born at 26 weeks of gestation) and regressed retinopathy of prematurity previously treated with extensive peripheral laser photocoagulation and primary scleral buckle. In the right eye, chronic subretinal fluid is observed dissecting toward the fovea, with a small atrophic retinal tear located at the border of the laser treated retina, corresponding to the site of the former ridge. In the left eye, retina appears attached under 5,000 Centistokes silicone oil tamponade following repair of recurrent retinal detachment.

  • Diffuse unilateral subacute Neuroretinitis (DUSN)

    Sep 30 2026 by Seif Allah Anwar

    This FFA demonstrates a linear hyperfluorescent track in a 54-year-old male ; extending from the optic disc along the superior temporal vascular arcade toward the peripheral retina. The track is associated with focal areas of late staining/leakage and adjacent chorioretinal atrophic changes, giving the appearance of a migrating/worm-like track.

  • Probable Cytomegalovirus Retinitis as the Presenting Manifestation of Newly Diagnosed HIV Infection

    Sep 29 2026 by Pablo Angel García-Uribe, MD, PhD

    A 45-year-old patient was referred to the Uveitis Service for presumed cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in the right eye. Medical history was notable for chronic diarrhea, 15-kg unintentional weight loss, and hair loss. Visual acuity was 20/100 OD, improving to 20/50 with pinhole. Wide-field fundus photography showed a large area of necrotizing retinitis along the superior temporal vascular arcade, with retinal whitening, vascular sheathing, and intraretinal hemorrhages, while the macula remained uninvolved. The fellow eye was unremarkable. HIV-1 testing was positive, raising concern for an opportunistic retinal infection in the setting of immunosuppression. CMV retinitis was considered the leading diagnosis, and the patient was urgently referred for tertiary infectious disease and ophthalmologic management.
