Peripapillary Myelinated Retinal Nerve Fibers
Oct 24 2026 by Seif Allah Anwar
Wide-field montage fundus photograph of the left eye showing extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (dense white, striated, opaque patches with feathery margins ) radiate from the optic disc along the superior and inferior arcades and nasally, obscuring the disc margin and partially masking the overlying retinal vessels. The macula is spared. The remaining fundus is unremarkable.

Chimney Smoke
Oct 21 2026 by Vicente Nicanor Mancilla Guerrero
A 30-year-old male patient presents with sudden vision loss in the left eye. A diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is suspected. In the late-phase fluorescein angiography image, we can observe the classic “smokestack” sign, which appears as the dye enters the serous detachment. Treatment will depend on the course of the condition over a period of 1 to 3 months.

Presumed Ocular Histoplasmosis Syndrome (POHS) with Choroidal Neovascular Membrane (CNVM) in the Right Eye: Treatment Response After One Dose of Anti-VEGF Therapy (Bevacizumab)
Oct 20 2026 by Fernando Pellerano, MD
A 48-year-old man presented with acute vision loss OD. BCVA was 20/80 OD and 20/20 OS. (A) Fundus examination of the right eye showed mild peripapillary atrophy (PPA), peripheral chorioretinal scars, and macular chorioretinal scarring with hemorrhage, concerning for CNVM. (B) Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) of the right eye showed hypoautofluorescence in areas of chorioretinal scarring. (C) Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the right eye showed cystoid macular edema, subretinal hyperreflective material, and subretinal fluid. (D) OCT one month after a single dose of bevacizumab showed resolution of intraretinal fluid (IRF) and subretinal fluid (SRF), and visual acuity improved to 20/25. The patient was treated and extended with bevacizumab and faricimab-svoa, receiving a total of six intravitreal injections OD. Two years after discontinuing treatment, he remains free of active CNVM with preserved vision. The left eye showed histo spots and PPA without CNVM (not shown).

Scars and Memories of Impact: Chorioretinitis sclopetaria.
Oct 16 2026 by Sean Teixeira
A 14-year-old male presented with a history of ocular trauma to the left eye (OS) caused by a rubber projectile. Fundus photography revealed concentric chorioretinal scars consistent with choroidal ruptures surrounding the optic disc. A temporal lesion with hyperpigmented and hypopigmented areas and a cicatricial appearance was also observed. Diagnosis: Chorioretinitis sclopetaria.

Fundus photograph immediately after Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy for a dense premacular (subhyaloid) hemorrhage. The posterior hyaloid face over the hemorrhage has been punctured, and the trapped blood is now draining into the vitreous cavity. The residual boat-shaped pocket, with its sharp inferior border, outlines the original sub-hyaloid space.

The Retinal Hibiscus: Neovascularization of the Disc in CRAO
Oct 11 2026 by S. Natarajan, MD, FASRS, FRCS (GLASGOW) , FICO, D.Sc, FELA
A 59-year-old female presented with complaints of sudden loss of vision in the left eye since 1 year. On examination, visual acuity in the right eye (RE) was 20/20, while in the left eye (LE) it was perception of light (PL) with inaccurate projection. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Fundus examination of the LE revealed Neovascularization of the Disc (NVD) with scleroses retinal vessels, giving a "retinal hibiscus" appearance. Based on clinical findings, a probable diagnosis of Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) with Ocular Ischemic Syndrome (OIS) was made. The patient was advised Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation (PRP) for the NVD and further systemic evaluation.

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.
